Okay, it’s been more than a decade. But shhhh….!
As part of the 31 Days Blog Challenge, I spent time today reading what some very smart people have written about blogging and business online.
They’re brilliant so I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite gems. I recommend not just these posts, but pretty much anything on their blogs (subscribe!).

I’d have to say that #56 on Seth’s list really says it all, doesn’t it? And I absolutely loved reading Liz Strauss’s post from 2006! What she wrote still holds true today. No doubt about it. Liz left no stone unturned and I’m sure she struck a chord with lots and lots of blog readers who DON’T post comments.

It’s amazing how much things stay the same – even when technology changes so fast, isn’t it? The basics always apply.
Excellent resources, as usual. You may want to shift the links to open in a new tab or window, however. Right now, people have to remember to get back for the next link after chasing how many trails.
Thanks, Shel!
56 ways of getting more traffic are really cool. Although i still hate homework.
Yes, I’m glad to be out of school and able to choose my own topics for study – assigning myself homework makes it more fun. :)
