Blogging This & That

As you remember, my blogging friend Carol is posting ideas, thoughts and tips about blogging this week (and she invited us to do the same and put in our own two cents). If you are brand new to blogging and need some helpful tips, visit her blog and read her post from yesterday – HERE.

As I mentioned on Wednesday, I changed to WP because of some issues I had with blogger and I wanted to take my little ‘outlet’ serious. So, yes, I am paying for my blogging.

Today, I just want to talk about a couple of things I find helpful blogging:

• My RSS reader via Thunderbird – another fine product from your friendly developers at Mozilla. This is not just an email client, but it keeps me up-to-date with my favorite blog-reads.
• Colored tabbing for my Firefox brower. It is easier on these old eyes when I toggle between tabs and want to link to other bloggers (linkage is a good thing :wink:).
• A good photo editing software that is easy to use, like Ulead’s PhotoImpact or Paint Shop Pro.
• A reliable hosting company. If you put a lot of time into your blogging, you want to make sure that people can access your blog at all times and can comment :smile:.
• Software that helps me with my spelling (this post might have some mistakes, because it is 6am and I just wanted to write a few things).
• And last but not least a ‘support group’ of bloggers – aka your Blogroll.

I hope that my helpful tips are also helpful to you. To find more tips about blogging go over to Carol. Some great bloggers have already linked to her post today….
