Great resources!! Thanks so much
Hi Melody, This is a terrific blog, very informative and insightful.
I have about 4 active blogs. I’ve recently joined today.com (Inspiredpen) and Bukisa. Hey, you’re at Suite (I’m feature writer of Great Thinkers), Triond… and Bukisa too?
Very interesting. I sure would like to link up your today blog with mine. How about it?
Cheers, Tel
Hi Michellum,
Thanks for the feedback!
Hi Tel,
Thanks, sure we could swap links.
Would you like to do a guest post and link back to your blog, as well?
Ok Mel, I’ve included your Write IT! in my inspiredpen.today dot com Blogroll. I don’t mind guest posting. You mean I’ll send you my blog piece and you’ll post it yourself? Thanks.
Great comprehensive list. Many are my favorites already. I can’t wait to check out a few you listed that I didn’t know about.

I’m such a novice when it comes to blogging! How do I add your site to my Blogroll? I’d really like to check out your postings without adding you to my favorites where you site is likely to be lost in the shuffle!

Hello Everyone, Thanks for your comments.
Aw2500, go to your start page, find blog links, then find add a link. When the page opens be sure to select a category (such as blog roll), then paste in my blog link.
Let me know how you make out.
Thanks! With your help I figure it out.
You’re now listed in my blogroll.

You were such a help with my last question, I’m going to throw myself on your mercy and ask another question. (I did ask support but their answer was of no help!)
In the right margin of your blog page you have listed your individual posts. I’m trying to figure out how to do this. I think I know how to set-up individual categories, but how do I get posts into the categories?
Wistful..do you know any way of listing individual titles without putting the posts into new subcategories?

Hey, I think I got something to work. It’s not as nice as what you have, but it’s better than nothing.

Hi aw 2500,
Simply create a “catch-all” category, as I did with “all About Writing.” Then go to “add links.” Make sure that you select the appropriate category you want to add the new links to, and you should be fine.
WordPress is very different from Blogger and takes some getting used to.
Hi Violetteb,
Thanks for your compliments! I’ll be adding more resources as time permits.
