I’ve been blogging about blogging here on MamaBlogga for almost two years. It was the Ultimate Guide to Migrating from Blogger to WordPress that started it all, but that’s just a one-time move (hopefully). Over the years, I’ve accumulated a lot of advice for bloggers. In honor of this week’s best-of Works for Me Wednesday (now hosted by We Are THAT Family), I’m highlighting my best blogging tips ever!
A little blogging help here, Mom?

6. “FeedBurner is an excellent blogging add-on service that makes your feeds more accessible to readers and easier to subscribe to. Plus, you can move your feed easily when you move to a different blog address without losing any subscribers”: 5 Steps to Getting Started with FeedBurner (and for the more advanced, Seven Ways to Master FeedBurner)

Okay, so my head is spinning. I’m going to ahve to take some time to read all those posts. I have a feeling I’ll learn a lot.
(Thanks for hopping around blogland finding me today! Now I had to find YOU!)
It was actually kind of tough to pick my favorites, since I’ve been doing this so long . . . and then I forgot to go and drop my link on the WFMW post! Sigh.
Glad to have you here, Annette!
Just when I swear I’ve mastered Feedburner they go and change something on my or go all goofy. Meh.
Oh, that’s right, they’ve just redone a bunch of stuff with the integration with Google, haven’t they? Maybe it’s about time for a refresher/update!
