Professional Blogging For Dummies

As you know, for the past six months, I’ve been writing Professional Blogging For Dummies (affiliate link). Due out at the end of July, the book has been a big part of my life for the last year. Over the weekend, I noticed that Amazon had added the cover art to the pre-order listing, so I created an affiliate badge. It’s  over there –>  in the far right sidebar 🙂

Throughout the book, I use real examples to illustrate the points. Some interviews became case studies, other information was used as background, but everyone’s contribution was important. Even though I recognize everyone in the acknowledgements, I wanted to do it here as well.
