I’m giving away free blogging help

Yes, you heard me correctly. I know this isn’t going to be for everyone, but if you decide a year down the road that you’d like to start blogging, just come back to this post. I promise I won’t say, “I told you so.” :-)

Anyway, I have been working like a madman to put together a free resource for those people who are on the verge of starting a blog but just can’t seem to make that final push. It seems like such a huge, difficult task. Well, hopefully I can assist with that.

The big push

At HRevolution this year, we had a very large crowd at the blogging session. If I could go back and redo it, I would have broken the groups into different levels of experience. But since my time machine’s in the shop, I am trying to fix things the only way I know how. So if you were one of those people who said, “I might like to start a blog, but I’m not sure of the why/how/what/etc.” then this is a resource for you.

I’ve created several lessons just for those looking for help to create a blog and get it running smoothly. If you’re one of those people and you are interested in what I’ve cooked up, just head over to the lessons and check them out.

How to Add Your Google Reader Shared Items to Twitter with Twitterfeed

This short video takes you through the process of grabbing your Google Reader code, inserting it into the feed URL, and adding that URL to Twitterfeed. Once the feed is added and the Twitter account is verified, all you have to do to share an item is click the “Share” button at the bottom of every Google Reader item.

Warning: when I get to the last 10 seconds and show you how to “share” an item in your Google Reader, the post that comes up (randomly) is one with a picture of a foot. After a 100 mile race. Nothing super duper gross, but I just wanted you to be aware. :-)

How to Add a HRevolution Button to Your Website

Update: apparently something was breaking the text. Instead of copying the code like I do in the video, just copy it from the linked file below. Everything else after that is still the same. :-)
