I hope you had a great weekend!  I have been working on a side project for a while now off and on and the day has finally arrived.  I have been receiving tons of questions about blogging over the last year and I have been trying field the questions, help the bloggers and add value to the community.

With that said, I created a new site – zestyblogconsulting.com to help answer generic blogging questions and provide information on making better informed decisions for your blog moving forward.  The layout of this site includes blog services, tips, detailed posts on the most popular topics and a portfolio showing some of the blogs I have worked with in the past.

Visit Zesty Blog Consulting when you get the chance and if you’re interested, sign up for the free blogging tips newsletter.

Here are some other snapshots of the zesty design.  Let me know what you think of this and whether you feel it is a good idea and will help bloggers.

Quaker Update

I was unsuccessful in making the finals of the Quaker Challenge however I would still like to promote it today as the whole contest is for a great cause.  See below for the details on the finalists.

3 semi-finalists:

• Catherine Mc Cord of weelicious.com playing for  www.stonebarnscenter.org
• Jen Yu of userealbutter.com playing for National Farm to School Program www.farmtoschool.org
• Laura Levy of www.laurasbestrecipes.com playing for www.foodforthepoor.org

“Congratulations to Catherine Mc Cord , Jen Yu and Laura!  Semi-finalists in Quaker’s “Awaken Your Senses Challenge”.  You can help support 3 worthy food charities by casting your vote for your favorite Oatmeal Creation at www.youtube.com/quakertalk. At the end of the week the blogger with the most votes wins, and they will be able to award $10,000 to their favorite food. So what are you waiting for?  Go ahead and vote!

Thanks so much for supporting me – now let’s do our part and ensure one of these charities gets some much needed funding.

Back to the food posts tomorrow!

Take care
