Pros and cons of platforms are discussed.

Hi Sheila and thanks so much for featuring my book on your blog! (You don't need to put me in for the prize draw :) Happy blogging and best wishes, Robin
Boy, I could really use this book! Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
I have a blogging phobia. I like to read some blogs, but I just think that I would have nothing to say. My husband disagrees though...
I have a blog and am trying to get published, so this would be a great win for me. Thanks, Sheila.

This book sounds interesting! I've considered blogging but have no idea how I could create a blog to stand out from the others when there are so many others. Thanks for offering this giveaway!
I've been blogging for years but I could always use inspiration! thanks for the offer
I've been blogging forever, it seems, but I'm always interested to see what's new!
I have a blog, but I'm not very successful with it. I'd love to learn more do's and don'ts. This book sounds great.
I find that the digital age is becoming more and more of a boon to writers and an incredible resource for self-promotion and lower costs of printing. Whatever I can learn about blogging, self-publishing and other relevant issues will be very helpful. Thank you!
I have a blog and definitely need help! Hoping I'm not too late -- Sandy (non-robot)
Learning to Blog would be a helpful start to a web comic.
