I've been a professional writer (journalist and public relations guy) for more than 23+ years, but I'm a relative neophyte in the realm of blogging and the blogosphere in general.As such, I'm continually on the hunt for new books that will help me improve as a blogger - and I've found a great one in Bryan Allain's new e-book.Allain's book is organized as a 31 day blogging how-to-guide that introduces a concept, explains it and then urges the reader to implement the daily dose of wisdom. While the book is geared towards individuals with an existing web log, it is chock full of useful content for anyone who doesn't currently have a blog but might be considering one.For instance, early in the book Allain stresses the need for bloggers to focus on three key aspects of their blog namely: its audience, the writer's perspective and the need for solid content. He also offers creative tactics to keep motivated at writing and generating new content ideas. This is extremely worthwhile information that all bloggers need to know and heed.Allain's writing is packed with humorous insights that make it a quick read - as does the easily digestible chapter lengths. Additionally, the author does a great job of interspersing funny snippets and perspectives from his actual blog as palette cleansing respites between chapters, which serves as an object lesson for the reader to drive traffic to your site. That was very slick IMHO.This one-of-a-kind book is an excellent and entertaining tool that should be required reading for any blogger that wants to take their writing and web log to the next level.
