Synopsis
Today’s crafting community is online, connected, and blissfully blogging about their work and ideas. Blogging is hot in this highly creative world—and here is the only how-to book aimed directly at them. Everyone from knitters and beaders to scrapbookers and altered artists will find the practical information and visual inspiration they need to create an artful online journal.
Thanks to hundreds of gorgeous screen grabs from the very best blogs, a thorough introduction to the tools of the trade, and instructions that virtually take you by the hand, even beginners will swiftly go from blank screen to colorful, enticing pages. Those who already have a blog, but want to enhance their presence on the Web, will learn how to add banners and graphics, take the perfect shots, crop and size photos, establish links, and attract an audience of eager readers.
Best of all, readers will meet some of the web’s most popular creative bloggers, including Alicia Paulson (Posie Gets Cozy), Gabreial Wyatt (Vintage Indie), Emily Martin (Inside A Black Apple), Lidy Baars (Little French Garden House), Heather Bullard (Vintage Inspired Living), and Serena Thompson and Teri Edwards (The Farm Chicks).

An Inspiration for Those Thinking of Starting a Blogby Izzie09

January 09, 2010: I enjoyed reading this book. It has some great photos and valuable advice. The only problem was that I found that I wanted to get on my computer and look up the different blogs that were featured in the book. After looking at the other blogs and reading what the author had to say, I found myself wanting to start my own personal blog. I have finally started my blog, but it seems to be a lot more work than depicted in the book. But, I enjoy it.
Blogging for Bliss is not a Blissful experience. Very Dissapointingby Anonymous

December 28, 2009: There was so much hype about this book by the author, Tara Frey, on her blog that pales in comparison to soooo many other blogs, most others in the blogging world. This clearly is an amateur's attempt at writing a book about a less than intelligent topic. Blogging is as simple as ABC and 123 and one does not require a book on how to do it, certainly not this book that was a waste of my money. All it does is advertise other blogs and provide a glossary, google will do just fine for any definitions and it is free! The author also likes to pose for pictures, not necessary to have a blog. Dissapointing to say the least, an unecessary purchase and I and others are surprised this was picked up by a publisher!
