Publish & Prosper: Blogging for Business by DL Byron and Steve Broback
I spotted Publish & Prosper: Blogging for Business at the Apple store. Although I am a writer first and a blogger second, I was immediately interested; after all, blogging does involve writing, and does help my writing business.
I was amazed by how helpful this book really is. It's written for any level of blogger, whether you haven't even begun yet or you've been in the blogosphere for years. I've been blogging for about a year and a half now, but there are still things I learned from Byron and Broback's book.
Publish & Prosper starts with a pretty basic explanation of blogs: the short version of how they evolved, how they work, etc. The book also goes into more detail on various feature you can utilize, how to make your blog work for your business, etc. Some of this stuff I already knew, other things I did without understanding why it seemed to work so well, and still other things I didn't know at all (but plan to try out on my own blogs).
Whether or not you are a writer, if you have a business to promote online Publish & Prosper is the perfect resource on blogging!

Katharine: Thanks for such a positive review, we worked really hard to make it as useful a book as we could while keeping it compact. Note that we're now big fans of wordpress.com as a hosted solution -- we didn't put that in the book, as it was just being launched at press time.
PS: You should consider coming to our Chicago conference, we have a $100 off discount code for you. Email steve AT blog business summit dot com.
Cheers!
I too, love your template. Looking forward to reading more and getting to know fellow writers. And I also feel like blogging helps my writing. This fall, I'm going to try to post mainly writing peices to "Write Of Passage" and use my iWeb site for personal journaling. Sometimes it will seem to blend together. I would love to be critiqued in the comment section. Nice to meet ya.
