[…] Darren Rowse is putting on a series called “Blogging For Beginners“. This is intended to help all of the nwe bloggers and “Prebloggers”. Darren is definitely a person to teach about blogging. I’ll be following along with this series and if I think Darren is missing the mark on his discussion I’ll add to the conversation. I doubt I’ll have anything more to add to a series put on by such a veteran of blogging. No matter how basic it may seem, I may learn a few things as well. […]

[…] Problogger, Darren Rowse, has a new series he’s starting on his site title Blogging for Beginners. By no means do I want to come across as the all knowing expert in this series – I’m very aware of my own limitations as a blogger and strongly believe that it is only collectively as a group that we really know anything. As a result I’d encourage everyone (beginners or old hands) to see each post in this series as an invitation to share what you know on the topics we cover. […]
