If you blog, you need this book!

Hello! I recently picked up this book and have read it cover to cover, marked it up, and used it to make changes to my own blog. I can't tell you how much fun I had reading it - what a blast. And because of this book I'm on my way to starting my own business, thanks to all of the fabulous advice from the Moxie Girls. Their own site is a lot of fun too, and chock full of powerful advice. I'm very grateful to the Moxie Girls for sharing their wisdom and experience.
It's about time!

I've been a fan of the Moxie girls since day one and was so excited to see they were finally working together on a book project. I only wish a resource like this had been in existence when I started blogging in 2001. And just in time before things get too overwhelming with all that fancy book-learnin', it's cocktail hour! A very fun, informative read and a definite beginning point to start the journey down the road to blogging...with Moxie! Blogging is constantly evolving and changing, so be it Flickr or Twitter, this resource has it all covered from beginning to present.
Chock full of blogging goodness!

I've known Joelle and Kathy for almost 4 years and was so excited to get a copy of this book. They are smart, witty and down right fabulous! And that is certainly reflected in The IT Girl's Guide to Blogging with Moxie. The beginner blogger can learn all sorts of tips for having a great blog and even the more experienced blogger can find some useful tricks they might not have known about. If you are looking for an informative and helpful tool that's also fun and entertaining, this is the book for you.
Fun and informative - Moxie Girls Rule!

I've had a few blogs over the past several years that never got off the ground, because I'd get stuck (and/or bored with it) and let them sit there, collecting cyberspace dust. This fun book is just the kick I needed to start over and make it into something I can be proud of and will enjoy doing. All the main points of blogging that you need to know are touched upon and easy to follow. Even if you're not exactly new to blogging, it's easy to skip through to the parts you do need because the chapters are all outlined very well. Overall, a fun and witty, well-organized buy for anyone wanting to dive into the world of blogging!
learn something new, have fun too

I just started my own blog earlier this year. It's been quite a learning experience, one that would not have been so painful if i had read this book first. If i had, i would have learned how to find the right *me* tone, where to get insiration from, how to get people wide and far to come to my blog, and how to handle comments good and bad. Oh, and mix the perfect martini. I had such fun reading this book, I recommend it for anyone who wants a blog that's all that and a pair of Jimmy Choos.
