Blogging Plugins, Themes, Tools, and Training
You've probably heard of people who make extra income from their blog. And sometimes blogging can even become a primary source of income. Whether you're blogging as a hobby or blogging for profit there are essential skills and tools that can help you be more productive, give your site a cleaner look and feel, and help increase your profitability (if that's your goal).
Blog Plug-Ins
Blog Plug-Ins are an essential part of blogging. They give can make your blogging more efficient, free you of boring tasks, and at times add additional functionality.
Blog Themes
When choosing blog themes, it's important to remember why you're blogging in the first place. If you are running a journalistic type of blog, you obviously would choose a theme much different than someone running a classified site. But there are more subtle differences that come into play when choosing blog themes, such as how you want your users to navigate your blog whether or not you plan to run paid advertising and/or adsense-style ads on your blog.
Blog Tools
Blog tools are at times hard to define. While plug ins, themes and skins might be considered blog tools, there are other blog tools that don't fit as neatly into those categories. One common aspect of most blog tools, though, is that they typically make you and your blogging more efficient and/or add additional funcationality to your blog.
Blog Training
When considering blog training it's important to consider why you're blogging. Some blog training focuses on niche blogging, some training focuses on free form blogging, while still others may provide training in more hands-off or semi-automated ways of blogging for profit.
