Why? Blogging is a recipe full of assorted ingredients: research, writing, copywriting, grammar, photography, internet marketing, social networking, promotion, technical & search engine optimization skills, etc. Avoiding lots of them and your blog won’t be as you wish.
Bloggers need other bloggers via successful social networking and this is the reason why you’ll see more of these topics at my blog. We are mostly bloggers and I believe we’d be interested in those themes.
What do you think? Do you agree or not? I’d like to hear your opinion in comments.
Thanks also for your feeling about the Uruguayan football team, we lost with Netherlands, but we’ve done a good performance indeed. Tomorrow we’ll see with Germany.
Well, let’s go to the best of this week.
The best of the week is a series of roundup-articles published every week, touching principally themes related to food, blogging, social media and health. For more information, you can read the first article of these series.
Do you want to be included in “Best of the Week” posts?
The featured articles come from the return-feedback in comments I’ve from other bloggers, from the interacting on my social networks as well as of selected-articles chosen between hundreds of my RSS reader’s subscriptions to other blogs.
Where can you enter in this equation? It’s simple: commenting on my blog and interacting with me on my social sites is the better way to have you present in my mind when I’m compiling the data to make it

One amazine post dear… Congrats and thanks !!!
Hi Gera! I know this post is from last year, but I was just going through my Webmaster Tools account and noticed that the link to my cherry pie filling post is producing a 404 error coming from this page. Looks like somehow an HTML line break got into the actual url. If you have some time, would you be able to fix it please? I would really appreciate it! Here’s the correct url http://www.amandascookin.com/2010/07/homemade-cherry-pie-filling.html The broken one is under your “sweet” category. Thanks again, and as always, thanks for the link love!
