As a follow up to my last post, in which I try to help my readers with SEO on their blogs, I thought about a great resource that I’d like to share. Darren Rowse’s ProBlogger is a fantastic website and offers great resources to anyone who is starting out blogging - and even more experienced folk. Of particular note, is his post on Blogging Tips for Beginnners, which links to a wealth of great posts that are well worth reading. I highly recommend reading this website, and adding it to your list of RSS feeds!

Hi Vinny,
Thank you for these great resources!, I went ahead and added them to my rss reader.
I have setup many blogs for friends using WP and a free template, but I have often asked myself the question what are the advantages of going with a professional custom (paid) template? I came across several blog designer’s websites/ blogs that offer great designs for a reasonable price, but except the obvious (exclusive template designs) I couldn’t find any other reasons to purchase a template as opposed to using a free template.
Thanks again!.

Some nice tips, will use some of them to launch my own blog somewhere in March. To get a cheap own WP template, take a look at Odesk and post your request.
Also, here in Europe a LinkedIn link on your profile is a good standard
