Problogger is a great site for bloggers like me, and would-be bloggers like some of my readers (join the fun! hehe). The site is dedicated to helping other bloggers learn the skills of blogging, share their own experiences and promote the blogging medium. Darren Rowse started it in September 2004 to keep a record of what he was learning about blogging for money. Since that time, he’s added over 3500 articles, tips, tutorials and case studies to his blog.

If you’re a blogger yourself, you might want to read the following articles from ProBlogger to help get you started:

1) 18 Lessons I’ve Learned About Blogging. Written in 2005, these are reflections on Darren’s first few years in blogging.

2) 10 Habits of Highly Effective Bloggers. A post on what makes successful bloggers successful– by being proactive, strategic, creating useful content, etc.

3) Making Post Titles Pop. A post on how creative titles for blog posts grab reader attention and bring them to your blog.

4) SEO 101. I know my friend Marc Macalua will get really angry at me for saying this, but I do not know anything about SEO if my life depends on it. This article gives a crash course on learning SEO.

5) Blog Design for Beginners. Here are some step-by-step instructions on coming up with a design for your blog. The principle behind this is that design is not about making things pretty. Rather, it’s about making things work.

For teaching me a lot of things about blogging, and for inspiring me to build and better my own blog, AngPeregrino Recommends Problogger this week.
