Are you a WordPress user or thinking about transferring to self-hosted WordPress? Check out this list of some of the best WordPress tips, tricks, tutorials and how to guides that I have found (as well as a few I have written).

Blogging Books and Courses I HIGHLY recommend:
These ebooks and courses are NOT WordPress specific, if you are on Blogger they will still benefit you. However self-hosted WordPress does offer more options and the ability to maximize your SEO. I did still want to mention these books and courses as I feel they have been an important part of my success as a blogger.
If you are new to blogging or ready to really blog as a business/for an income, check out these 2 eBooks from Problogger.com. Ā Use the code FWOB33 to get $10 off! I recommend theĀ First Week eBookĀ for brand new bloggers and theĀ 31 Days eBookĀ for novice bloggers.
