I’m starting a new guide about creating eBooks and wrote a first initial step by step article on how to create eBooks. The article doesn’t go into details but outlines the most important things one should consider. I will write a series of articles about individual steps that are important to get the best out of selling an eBook.

This is my first WordPress theme release but more will follow. Why walk alone? is a Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional theme and was created while listening to Cat Stevens songs. I took the picture in the banner in Byron Bay, Australia the most easterly point of the country (damn beautiful by the way if you leave the tourist/backpacker areas).

The design is clean and this Widget-ready theme uses the font Georgia for Headlines and Times New Roman for the rest of the content.

Most of us love RSS. It is a quick way to check for new content on your favorite websites. But not all people are alike so you will always have some people who prefer it the “old fashioned” way via email. This can be done pretty easily. Either you go to a free service like Zookoda, the allmighty Feedburner or to a more professional and feature rich one like AWeber.

While both free options get the job done, if you opt for AWeber you also get a fully featured auto responder and newsletter service with it.

Give it a try and add a new way to stay connected with your readers to your blog.

As mentioned before one of your goals will be to collect as many links as possible. List your blog in a couple of the best blog directories.

Technorati.com is one of the oldest blog tracking sites. They index your rss feeds and provide information about other blogs that link to you

Blogflux is a typical directory but specializes in blogs and has many different categories to post your blogs in. It is together with Blogtoplist.com the most popular blog directory.

Best of the web is another directory that has its own subdirectory specifically for blogs. Worth submitting your site to.

Lsblogs is a similar popular blog only directory similar to the Best Blogs directory.
