Blogging from Home - read online

"Blogging from Home" was written for easy reading and designed for the typical Internet user who wants to learn about blogging and its various use for business or personal intent.

I launched this book last August 2008 in response to the growing number of Internet users who are expected to become full-fledge bloggers using various blogging platforms and social networks.

As the book is expected to go out of print soon, I hope this page will provide a venue for exploration to anyone who wants to learn blogging at their own pace.

Complementary illustrated photos, demonstration videos, podcast, and explanatory text can also be found at the Blogging from Home Online Workshop.

  9. Hi Janette:

    Long time no hear. Been trying to reach you by the cellphone number you provide in your site without success. You see I have a handful of veteran PR execs who are dying to meet you and get their hands on blogging 101 tools. Are you available on Friday, Aug 29 for a brief tutorial? Pls revert.

    Best regards,

    Richard Burgos

  16. Heyyy, hello Janet, I'm henry and found your ad on facebook. Actually I'm also a blogger and have started just recently, but it took more than a year for me to understand what to do with blogs. And I also believe that the minds and talents of Filipino's are meant to use Blogs. Sadly there are lots of good Pinoy bloggers that just keep the minds of their fellow Pinoys closed to what really can blogs do. :) How you use it, How it can work well in harmony with the Search Engines, and Especially how it can make you Big Money when the time is right. I've created Pinoy Blog Chat to be something like this Blogging from Home. My posts are exact examples on how to use blogs. Not exact tutorials but the way you use words and information that you should publish. :D Wish all the success to your program. Take Care. Mind to have link exchanges anyway?
