      Yep, Amy’s a winner! If you don’t subscribe to her “useletter” weekly emails, you definitely should. She shares all kinds of helpful blogging links & more every weekend. I’d have never guessed I’d actually look forward to receiving a blog newsletter, but this one’s pure gold. Thanks so much for visiting, Tshanina!

      Make sure to take notes or execute the great tips you find about blogging shortly after you read them. If you’re anything like me, you’ll overload your brain with great ideas only to forget them before you implement them 🙂 Have a great time growing your blog, Alexis!

      Teri, if you check out these 3 ladies and really dig into their archives, you’ll be well on your way to blogging success. I really mean it! Bonnie puts out content almost daily, while Mel and Amy have years of archives built up. The fun and frustrating thing about blogging is that once you learn to master something, especially the techie things, everything updates and new strategies are formed, meaning it’s a continuous learning process. Hope you learn bunches! Thank you so much for stopping by this week. See you around again soon.

      I feel the same way. It seems like bloggers have a 6th sense for finding blogging resources. I sniff them out at linky parties and read until my eyes get googly 🙂 Hope you find lots of new info with these women. I know I did! Thank you for visiting today, Katie! See you around soon.

    I just went into Amy’s blog an it’s so funny because she’s talking about the Elegant Themes package and I just bought that package last week. I’ve redone my blog and totally, totally love it. What I need to do is stop looking at it so it doesn’t affect my numbers LOL. Stopping in from SITS saturday.
