Wednesday Round-up: May 2, 2007

by Sheryl Sisk

Howdy bloggers and bloggerettes! (Since I just made that word up, I get to decide - one ‘r’ or two? One, definitely. More elegant. Serious! Type them both out and see for yourself. There - a free bonus lesson on creative writing for blogs - make up your own language!)

And now, on with the countdown….

Deborah Ng from About Weblogs answers a reader’s inquiry about AdSense and blogging, and gives us all a nice introduction to the subject at the same time…

Lorelle writes for Blog Herald and performs a valuable community service by alerting us to the evils of Bitacle and other scrapers…

Our first Talk Back Fridays comment winner, Chris from Blog-Op, gives us the skinny on installing Wordpress themes …

Blogging Basics 101 tells us why some bloggers mask company and other proper names with asterisks …

ChrisG runs down ten ways to monetize a blog directly …

Copyblogger demonstrates the power of the method of contrast in writing - equally applicable to blogging …

At Deep Jive Interests, Tony’s talking about China’s internet crackdown and gets all deliciously political on us. It’s a serious topic, worth a serious read…

Lifehacker directs us to a post at FoundRead about knowing when to let go of a project (maybe that blog you’ve been laboring over fruitlessly for years?)…

If you’re at all interested in creating a community at your blog space, then you’re going to want to read Liz Strauss on Successful Blogging - specifically, this post…

Lorelle on Wordpress gets her rant on - topic: excuses for not being a web professional (oh, I have a few stories I could share - maybe a future post here?)…

Performancing shares some thoughts on hot topic blogging …

Darren at Problogger talks about personal branding and the power of blogs….

Til tomorrow, amigos…
