As I approach my first anniversary as a blogger, I can look back and marvel at the journey.  I would have never gotten past my first dozen posts if it weren’t for the seasoned bloggers who offered a tip, kind word or worthy example to emulate.  So I decided I wanted to create a New Blogger’s Toolbox, so others could enjoy that same support and inspiration.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this list.  I have acknowledged everyone at the end of the list. 

Here are the categories:

• Are chock full of practical tips    
• Act as a living lab on how to write compelling blog posts    
• Demonstrate how to build a community    
• Teach marketing tools    
• Are welcome wagons – bloggers who spotlight newbies
