Although this is the final installment of this series, it is not the end of blogging about blogging for me. In the last six weeks I hope you have seen how easy it is to set up a blog or CMS website using WordPress. During this month and two weeks I’ve been fortunate to generate new ideas for future articles, posts that will expound on what you have learned so far.
In this last section we will cover three major aspects of blog promotion: Your theme, plugins and social networking. Think of these promotional tools as nothing more than that, tools. The king of all promotion is your product. Whatever you are selling, and we are all selling something, you can get people to see it. But you have to deliver the best if you want repeat customers.
If you haven’t already, you should have a goal in mind for your blog. And by all means continue your education as a blogger. From the beginning I have stressed, this series is for beginners. Subscribe to a couple of newsletters, use an RSS feed or simply visit the A-Listers blogs. As with anything on the Internet, the prodigious volume of information about blogging is overwhelming.
I am in the process of putting all the information from this series into an e-book, as well as a PDF file. The PDF will come first due to the ease of making PDF files now. An ebook may require me to use various formats to accommodate the different readers now available.
Now, to the final class. Note: There may be a pop quiz sometime during this class. I hope you have done your homework.

Thank you Kevin. I appreciate the kind words. And more than that, I hope this is valuable to anyone who happens to stumble across it.
