My Thoughts:
I don't typically read these types of books,however, as an avid blogger I am always looking for tips to improve my blogging endeavors.  This is a fairly quick read of only 144 pages but don't be fooled.  The authors had included a wealth of information for both the personal blogger and those who blog for their business.  For me, this book offered some wonderful insight to "finding your blogging voice" and tips for overcoming that initial fear of becoming too "personal", as well as the need for perseverance in order to establish a steady following,  These are just a few common issues faced by new and beginning bloggers.  A decent portion of the book did focus on corporate blogging, but the advice given can be equally applied to personal blogging as well.  Whether your thinking about blogging or you're an established blogger, this book certainly contains some valuable information to make your blog a success!  My overall rating: FOUR stars.
