Thanks for reading this post , and feel free to check out the other catagories / posts and come back often.

Those who have been on my friends list of my many social networks, now know I have been using STUMBLEUPON and I would hope have come up with some interesting subjects to blog about.

So today I thought to look up a HOW TO on blogging.  These sites come up randomly, so enjoy and hope someone will get something from all this.

The first to get stumbled upon is “ONE COOL SITE:blogging tips” where you can find several good ones in the categories. Here is the actual tips and Blog Directories for Backlinks and Traffic. Also of interest and loaded with lots of information is How To Be A Better Blogger Pts 1, 2, and 3. which is followed by 4, 5, and 6  The LINKS and RESOURSES may come in handy, so bookmark those two pages for reference later.  I know this blogger is on twitter, found her link and here are her post having to do with twitter. I do want to send my best to “froggie” hope it’s life has been long and happy, losing a pet can be hard at times.

Now I could stay on the same site all day, but lets get back to STUMBLE UPON, so who will it be next?  SKELLIEWAG comes up as a The Pocket-sized Guide to Blogging and as I always say, judge for yourself. Take what you want and pass the rest on.  I like the yellow truck which takes you to the Mecanics. Does give you a link for DailyBlogTips. I do figure this one has been at it a long time, just look at the Archives. This one is also found on Twitter. Wonder if Blogging and Twitter are going together like peanut butter and jelly, milk and cookies, etc, You get the picture…

Well the next one doesn’t work for me, as soon as it loads, here comes this sliding window which is way to big and I can’t get to any X mark to close it…so on to the next.  I just hate those things! I found a SEMI-PRO Blogger giving instrutions on how to write the perfect blog.

Here is eHOW and several articals on blogging,

What of safety? Check it ou-only the one with the arrested blogger is not a working link!

Along comes another twitter, with 40 Ways to Deliver Killer Blog Content and the BEST OF.

Now I have heard of this next one, the Blog Herald . Check here  if you think you don’t have anything to blog about!. Do look over the articals listed at bottom of the post for more interesting reading. This is another site I could stay on all day, but must keep moving if we care to STUMBLE UPON another,

On to learning about Blog Traffic Exchange with the 2nd pt link here 

Blogging Information says it all with several dozen articals to read and learn from.

You can find the 23 DO’s and DON’Ts of blogging here

Now here is one that is easy on the eyes about BLOGGLED

Well lookie at the time, been going at this for several hours, before you go, check out my \other two blogs, along with this one . They are my GENEALOGY and my newest blog about Grandparenting

I enjoy doing my blogs this way, just looking for links and passing them on with my 2cents mixed into it.

Now what will it be we stumble upon next time?
