"Basics of Blogging" Toolkit is complete and ready to go!  It's a fully
downloadable version of my "Basics of Blogging" class, complete with a
workbook, course book, videos, free special reports, and more.  

If
you've ever wanted to take my popular "Basics" course, but geography or
time has stopped you in the past – now's your chance to take the class
in your living room (in your pajamas, if you like).

The course includes:

• The four CRITICAL questions you must ask yourself before starting a blog

• Learn the one blogging tool you should avoid at all costs – and why you steer far away from it!

• End confusion over all those crazy
  blog terms.  What’s a trackback?  What are comments?  Why should I look
  at categories?  I walk you through each part in an easy-to-follow video
  of a REAL blog, pointing out and defining each part.  No more confusion
  over blog terminology!

  Follow these steps, and your new blog will take shape right before your
  eyes – and be fully functional in fifteen minutes flat.
