The Metablogging Toolbox

Drew McLellan at Drew’s Marketing Minute is putting together a new blogger tool kit, and has asked other writers to recommend some sites that are helpful to someone just getting into blogging. The types of things he’s looking for include blogs that are

• full of practical tips
• act as a living lab on how to write compelling posts

Liz’s Additions to The Bloggers Toolkit

• The Copywriting Maven (compelling blog post examples)
• Come Gather Round (demonstrate how to build a community)

My recommendations include

• Perfect Blogger (blog tips and a blogging glossary)
• Christine Kane (compelling posts, building community)

• The Podpress forum at Mighty Seek. If you decide to do any podcasting and use Wordpress, you’ll at least want to look at Podpress. It makes podcasting a snap. The forum is the place to go when you need help with it.

There could be many more sites listed here. What great resources have you found?
