How To Start A WordPress Blog -Checklist

I hope this note finds you enjoying the holidays and anticipating the New Year ahead of us. I am really excited as we head into 2010 as the internet is simply brimming with opportunities right now!

I've actually been doing a lot of planning for the year ahead, and people have been asking me for details- especially on the editorial calendar I've been working on for my blog.

I put together a quick 10-page report that you can download as a PDF file that shares those details and gives you a checklist that you can use as a guide for your own blog:
