Lorelle VanFossen of Lorelle on Wordpress blog fame, has recently written a book on blogging tips, appropriately titled, Blogging Tips: What Bloggers Won’t Tell You About Blogging.  I received my copy last week and after paging through it, there is an incredible wealth of valuable tips here for the casual or serious blogger.  I let my wife take a look at the book, he she didn't want to give it back (she's a blogger as well).

Topics that Lorelle explores include:

• Learn how to define your blog’s purpose.
• Learn how to build your blog’s plan.
• Explore the pros and cons of blog design.
• Learn more about writing interesting and attention-getting content.
• Develop your blog writing voice and style.
• Tips on writing with keywords and search terms.
• Learn how to encourage your readers to respond.
• Deal with comment spam and other nasty comments.
• Explore the new PageRank, TrustRank, and SEO techniques.
• Learn how to improve SEO with podcasts, video, and other multimedia.
• Tips to prevent blog burnout.
• Tips on developing a blog plan of action in response to disasters, emergencies or accusations.
• Tips on administrating and maintaining your blog.
• Tips on online social networking and interaction.
• Learn how to respond to copyright violations.
• Learn about your rights as a blogger.

At $12.95 introductory price (plus S&H), this book is a very excellent investment.  I highly recommend it (5 stars).  There are two ways to order the book. You can order it directly from the publisher, SplashPress or through the new Blog Herald Bookstore.  Lorelle is also signing copies of the book.  Hurry now, before they run out!
