The Ultimate Blogging Handbook
*Update: Abby No longer offers Building a Framework.
When I first began blogging it was on a whim. It was practically at midnight, either the day before or day after New Year’s Eve. I had come across a tutorial from a blogger I followed at the time, about how to set up a blog on word press.
I had absolutely No Idea what I was doing.
In fact, I can’t believe I even went through with it. It felt like several daunting steps to setting up a blog. The outline this blogger had was not the greatest. But, I didn’t know it at the time.
You can see my tutorial on set a blog up in 5 steps.
So, I just thought, oh well, I want to blog, and I just kept stumbling through the crazy steps as best as I could. I did end up with a self-hosted blog. It had no design, and I still didn’t know how to even write the first post, or make my site “pretty”.
I just thought it would take hundreds of dollars to pay to a graphic designer to get it even half-way decent looking. I did manage to write one post, saying something like “hello to the world”, and then never returned back to the blog until six months later.
I almost threw in the towel.

Somewhere after my first six months of doing nothing, and in between my 2nd six months of nothing, I came across Abby Lawson’s blog. Just a girl and Her Blog, and I found her Ebook Building a Framework.
*Update: Abby No longer offers Building a Framework…. But I found something even better!
And that was the beginning…
After I purchased Abby’s book, I found Elite Blog Academy – which is an entire course. It was then and only then, that I knew I wanted to blog. Abby’s book and EBA course was going to get me there.
I am so thankful that I just got started so I could reap the benefits that blogging offers! I’ve gained an incredible creative outlet. I’ve found a community of people who are passionate about the same things I am.
But I haven’t had to do it alone.
While Abby no longer offers her eBook, I’ve since found a much better more in-depth course made for newbie bloggers and bloggers who want to grow called Elite Blog Academy – this specifically geared toward helping new bloggers get started.

Framework played a major role in helping me start my own blog, teaching me things like how to set up the technical elements, and you can get the shortcut of these from my own 5 Step Tutorial!
If I had to take the time to figure out all of the different areas of blogging from scratch, my blog certainly wouldn’t be where it is right now. But since I have begun Elite Blog Academy was the only guide that helped me each step of the way, I am thrilled to have a thriving blog that is growing more and more each and every day.
