Good morning, welcome to our series sharing a post for the Ultimate Blog Challenge [UBC] Day 5 April 6th, 2023. This morning we was asked to share a tip about something we know a lot about. The more I thought about this question I decided I would ask you. What is one tip of advice you would give someone just starting out with blogging?
Which blogs do you follow and why? What websites do you use for your work? What is your favorite Social Site you use and leave me a link to it in the comments. As well as a link to your blog. Is there a book you would recommend to a new blogger? I use this book which has become my go to book.
