Last year’s event was phenomenal. Don’t miss this opportunity to be a part of the Carolina Blogging Spring Luncheon.

The Carolina Blogging team is ecstatic to announce that planning for the 2011 Spring Luncheon is getting underway. It is going to be a day of good old Southern fellowship, information, tweeting, eating and of course, blogging.

A Save-The-Date post will be posted later this week. Meanwhile, spread the word to other South Carolina bloggers. The more the merrier!

Have you ever wanted to learn to blog? You CAN do it! Being a blogger is relatively easy, but there are certain things you must do to be successful. You have to discover your voice and niche, set up an attractive blog, write great posts, and then promote it. As easy as it sounds, must blogs don’t always reach the level of success or get the following that the bloggers would like.

But you can! That Teowonna will show you how. Teowonna Clifton is one of the Midland’s most noted bloggers and she has partnered with Midland’s Tech to teach you how to be a great blogger! Whether you want to keep track of your weight loss online, display your expertise in a business blog, or talk about your family life, you can do it and have people waiting for your next post.

Ok. Are you tired of your readers pointing out little typos in your blog post? Did you type ‘ti’ instead of ‘to’? That’s a frequent typo for me. Well, today a lady actually suggested that I use an editor. It’s not that she couldn’t understand what I intended to say, it’s just that she doesn’t want the pesky little typos to distract my readers from my message. I can appreciate that!

So, we at Carolina Blogging would like to remedy this little issue. One possible solution is: the CB Editors Guild (CB, standing for Carolina Bloggers, of course). The purpose of the guild is to provide a second pair of eyes before you post your blog. We aren’t that concerned about content… write what you want. We just want to make sure that you don’t write ‘out’ when you really mean ‘our’… another one of my common typos.

The way we envision this is we will establish an email list. Whenever you finish your blog, copy/paste it in an email and send it to the distribution list. Hopefully, someone will be able to read it within the hour and get back to you with any typos they find. In return, you must do the same for other bloggers. Pretty simple, huh?

I can see some concerns with this system, so I am open to suggestions on how we can perfect it. Until then, lemme know what you think.

Discussion: Are you interested in joining the guild? How can we make it work?
