I just found this. It's pretty much everything you need to know about how to get blogging. 35 steps.
And all of them very important! Some basic stuff and some more advanced stuff too. I learned quite a bit from it myself. (If anyone from Typepad is reading this, your days are numbered. I am moving to WordPress soon.)

Jeremy, THANK you for this link.
I found it really useful ... I'd read much of this before, but to have it compiled succintly in one place is great. (And daunting ... but I'll get there.)
In between guiding trips and managing a business, I've been trying to learn as much as I can to start our blog ... and make it thoughtful and meaningful and above all useful, rather than just a naval-gazing platform.
Having a checklist like this will be very helpful.
Hi Maureen
Glad you found it useful. Take it a step at a time... Your philospophy is spot on. If you can offer genuinely useful stuff, people will read it. It just takes time!
Good luck and thanks for taking the time to comment.

Here's another great list... to take it to the next level once you have the basics:

Wow, thanks, that's great, too.
(You can see I came back to get that link again and see what else was new on your blog.)
And thank you for taking the time to reply above. I'll send you a note when we have something we're proud of and think is interesting to others.
Cheers
Maureen
