And other amazing things from Lorelle
Do you know Lorelle? If you are working with a WordPress blog, you ought to. She has been around seemingly forever and I know that I gained alot of information and perspective on blogging from her posts in the past. Well, she has written an in depth article on how to make a proper link, and though for some of us that is basic html know-how, there are lots of newbies who find this sort of thing mysterious. Lorelle strips away the curtain of mystery and makes it all clear for you.
I found her directions for framing a proper link on one of her lesser known (to me) blogs, Lorelle Teaches. If you are new to blogging I believe you should bookmark Lorelle’s blog. It will come in handy.

Problogger blog always has useful posts, and that is why it is a top blog (among a number of other reasons). It has a plethora of guest bloggers and today an exceptionally good post centered around this piece of advice:If you think blogging is a bed of roses, or if you think everybody will be your friend, then you need to think twice. There are hateful people online hiding under the cloak of anonymity. There are also people who are ready to vent their anger on you as a result of some personal problem they’re facing. The best way to deal with this is to be prepared, and to get ready for the worst at any time.
Read the rest of a very good post,here. I have seen many a fine blogger- most better -by far- than me, go down because of this one point.
Besides life providing me with an exceptional tough skin, I learned to handle such attacks while participating in forums, but I can well remember the sharp attack of a fellow blogger toward my work on TrueGrit, which so disabled my confidence that I never recovered my ability to blog as freely as I once had on that blog.
I still blog, though. I still try to maintain my original goal of contributing something of worth and truth to others via the web.
