What the Tech: Ebook Giveaway!

Back in 2007, when I started blogging, we all had to learn some technical things along the way.  It was all brand new to me and I stumbled through it, learning as I went.  Fast forward to today, 2016, and needless to say, everything has changed since then.  I never did learn a lot about html.  Only enough to make me dangerous, but I never really had the time or interest in delving into all things technical in blogging.  If something breaks on my blog, then I hire a technical person with the know-how to fix it.  I certainly don’t rely on my skills.  And I really don’t want to learn all of that.  I’d rather concentrate on the more fun and creative aspects of blogging.

what-the-tech-Advanced-Package-Giveaway!

But, learning about technical issues is certainly a good thing if you are a new blogger and want to know more about html, setting up a WordPress blog, coding, plugins, and more.  My friend, Lesley, with Chaotically Creative has written an in-depth ebook about working on the technical side, called What the Tech.  It’s a comprehensive look at behind the scenes of blogging and if you are new to this world,  you may want to order this book, just to get an idea of what all blogging entails.

Lesley has it all covered in this 281 page ebook.  I went through the book, all the way to the bottom, with much of it totally over my head.  As I said, I know enough to be dangerous, but not enough to fix things.  And my ole’ brain really doesn’t want to learn all this stuff, although it’s great to get into some of it if you are blogging.

I get many questions from folks wanting to start a blog, so I would totally recommend this to someone starting out who knows nothing about setting up a blog, or WordPress, or any of the technical things behind blogging.  You definitely have to have some know-how of technical issues to blog and to run your blog from the backend of WordPress.  I’m not a genius with this stuff, but know enough to do what I need to do to write and run my blog.  The rest….I hire it out!

Lesley is giving away a FREE ebook to one of my readers, so if this is something you’d like to learn more about, this one is for YOU.  It’s for a $75 Master Package of her new ebook, What the Tech?!  

If you’d like to win, just enter the Rafflecopter giveaway and leave a comment below, telling me what you’d like to learn the most from a Technical ebook about blogging.  I know so many new bloggers need something like this, so I’m happy Lesley wrote it.  So many need this!  

If you’d like to go ahead and buy the ebook, go here to purchase (affiliate link). I get a small commission for referring my readers.  It’s definitely something I think is beneficial to all bloggers and wanna be bloggers!

    Blogging is on my “bucket list.” This book would provide me with the “ins and outs” for starting my own blog.

    My friends are always encouraging me to start a blog. I have an email group set up with friends and family and when I diy something I always email all the details and pictures. The people in this email group are always encouraging me to start a blog so others can see my handiwork too. I would like to have one but the reason I don’t is because I don’t know anything about the tech side of it. I would love to have this book and surprise my friends and family with my next email to them saying “This is my next project….I finally started a blog!”

    I’m surprised when my blog even pops up when I click on it. Heavens knows I haven’t a clue. This ebook would most certainly help.

    I tried to start a blog about a year ago and got stuck on the techy stuff. I so want to do this but feel I need lots of help. I really can’t afford to pay for someone to assist me so this book just might be the answer.

    I don’t know how to make sure my blog post are being viewed. I started my blog on blogger, then switched to word press with godaddy being my provider (which I pay for) because it was suppose to be promoted because I had a provider. But if anyone just looks up my blog by my name, it goes to someone who talks about marriage or health issues, not Interior Design.

    My daughter and I have started a blog but we both feel like we are in over our heads. Any help in learning the technical side would be so beneficial. We haven’t posted much lately. Would love to win!

    I am where you said you were, I started my blog a couple of years ago and just froze. I loved the fun part and taking the photos, decorating and doing what I do best, but the technical part just stopped me in my tracks. I want to make changes to my blog and need to learn how to do this myself. Thank you for offering such a great give away!

    As you know, Sara (my daughter) and I are about a year into this blog adventure. We’re to the point of getting serious about it, and learning the technical side is something we (especially me) need if we’re going to move to the next level. Like you, Rhoda, my old brain absorbs just so much, but I’m trying really hard, and thankfully I have a young, more tech-savvy partner. She would soak up the whole book!

    As a teacher, I grab anything that helps me stay on top of technology. I get very frustrated with my co-workers who don’t. We must be where our students are in this manner!!
