Lately I've been getting a TON of email about the nitty-gritty details behind running a blog. First, aww, how flattering! I'm thrilled that so many people think I know what I'm doing. =) Second, having only been at this a year and a half myself (!!!) I don't feel very qualified to answer all the questions I'm getting, but I do know a host of crafty bloggers and professional bloggers who have articles full of answers. So here ya go! If there is interest, maybe I can make this a monthly Roundup. And for those still interested in what I have to say, I'm working on a FAQ. I promise.

All of these offerings look to be wonderfully helpful. I’m going to take time and read each one in order to learn how to balance my virtual blog life with that of my real one. I’ve been struggling with this for some months now and have not been commenting on blogs so much as it takes hours out of my day. To protect my home life, I’ve been a bad blogger friend despite my truly enjoying what others share. I just don’t know how to balance it all. Hopefully, these links will help.

Thank you, Rachel!

This could not have come at a better time. You have no idea. I recently started a weight loss blog (in addition to my regular one(s)) just to help me with my health and fitness goals and its popularity has grown by leaps and bounds in the first week in ways I never expected. I’m really excited for how well things are going, but it has gotten me a little overwhelmed trying to keep up with it all. And I have gotten so many formatting questions from my guest authors that I don’t always know how to answer as I am really just a beginner myself. So thank you thank you thank you! And I really truly would love to hear what you have to say as well. Have a wonderful day!

Hi Rachel! I love this idea for a roundup–when I started my blog a few months ago, I actually searched for a similar resource. Thank you for compiling…can’t wait to read, and hopefully implement, some of the suggestions. And also looking forward to your FAQ on the subject. You’re the best . Happy New Year!
