Blogging and Authors: 9 Good Reasons to Start a Blog (and How to Keep It Secure)

I have two new exciting Publishing Coach Weekly things for you.

ITEM #1: New article on “9 Reasons to Start a Blog.”

If you have a blog already, this article will help you think through whether you’re using it optimally. (It did that for me even!)

If you don’t have a blog, I tell you why and how to start in 5 minutes or so: http://www.publishingcoachweekly.com/Start-a-Blog-9-Good-Reasons.html.

ITEM #2: For this week’s Publishing Coach Weekly teleseminar, my guest will be Cathy Perkins, “the WordPress Wizard.”

I have to be frank: One of the drawbacks to having a blog is that it can be hacked into.

Cathy will talk about how to prevent that so that blogging can be as joyous and hassle-free as possible.

(Cathy’s the one who helped me when my blogs were hacked twice, and she’s about to start a short course on blog security.)

You can ask any blogging question you have, especially as it pertains to security, either now or on the call. Ask a question and/or get call-in details here.
