Resource For Bloggers Carnival - 6th Edition

Welcome to a new edition of the Resource For Bloggers blog carnival. Initiated by Diana at 134u, made successful by her high standards, by her readers and by the quality of the articles, Resource For Bloggers has got a new temporary home here, at All Tips And Tricks, for the next 4 editions. In the first place, I’d like to thank Diana for choosing me to host the carnival for the next couple of months. Secondly, I invite you to browse today’s articles and to come back for a chat (via comments).

Idea for bloggers: Google Base could be a good solution for those of you who already published an ebook and are currently seeking for promoting it with barely any marketing budget. Has any of you already published an eBook?

GP presents New Year, New Business? posted at Innside Montana-Your Home at the Range, saying:

Tip Diva presents Top Ten Tips - Learning HTML Basics posted at Tip Diva, saying:

Many websites - blogs, social networking platforms and online communities, in particular - allow you to use Hyper Text Markup Language (or HTML, for short), to spiffy up your posts. Basic HTML allows you to change your font, add images, create links and more. Here are some of the most popular HTML tags used on those websites.

Diana13 presents Improve your RSS feed posted at My lucky number 13, saying:

You may ask: what in the Earth could I improve more to my RSS feed? Well, there is a way to make some improvements, by adding a footer to your RSS feed. I saw that many bloggers don’t take advantage from this valuable space, though you can use it in so many ways. So, what can you do with this footer and how?

This is telepathy! Just before receiving Diana’s submission to the carnival, I was telling myself that I should take advantage of this space and send you a joke in my feed, with every post.

Another submission from Diana13, also posted at My lucky number 13: Free advertising with Entrecard. Diana has a good advice for you:

If your blog is new, just launched or you have low traffic, Entrecard is a good way to drive traffic to your blog and to get known. You don’t have to work too hard for this and you can advertise on high traffic blogs without spending any money. How cool is that?

I tried it, and it’s cool (and pretty much addictive, I would confess). See it for yourself!
