No Pressure


Really.

It's not rocket science. As you begin this process and get over the initial set-up issues, blogging will come naturally to you. Learn to schedule your time for posting and analyzing your results. I had a friend tell me "Manage your blog. Don't let it manage you". Good advice indeed.

I have seen several of these "how to" blogs that were so crammed with pop-up and affiliate ads, it was hard to see what the actual content of the site was. The Idiot's Guide is here for you and we're not doing this just to make money. That will come later ;-) Seriously. We're here to help you get started and point you in the right direction and hopefully to answer questions that you might have.

Now...how is your brainstorming coming along? Have you gotten alone with your pen and notepad yet? Take a long walk. Take some deep breaths. Turn off the input and get quiet for a little bit and see what comes to you. Then take some action and put your ideas on paper.

I leave you with this quote from Randall Jarell...

"It is better to entertain an idea than to take it home to live with you for the rest of your life."
