Who We Are
Update: Shannon's become incredibly busy with her own blogs and writing gigs. She's handed off the daily care and feeing of BB101 to me (Chilihead/Melanie). Don't worry, she'll be making an appearance here and there, but for the most part, I'll be answering your questions from here on out.
We're Chilihead and Shannon, a couple of bloggers with just enough technical knowledge to be dangerous. Chilihead has a background in technical writing and extensive experience in HTML coding. Shannon has absolutely no qualifying experience other than having jumped in with both feet to teach herself blogging. When we began getting questions on our personal blogs about blogging issues, we realized there are many beginning bloggers out there who would benefit from hearing what we learned the hard way.
This site is intended for beginning bloggers with basic questions. If you're looking for more advanced how-tos, there are hundreds of such sites available.
Occasionally, we will invite other bloggers to answer a question when we know they have special knowledge in an area, or we may link to something they've already written.

What a great idea! Thanks for all the wonderful information... definitely a resource I'll add to my favorites.

I just have to say that every time I have a blog related question happens to be the same time that you post the answer. Now either you are psychic or just really good at your jobs. Either way it is a good thing for me. Thanks and keep up the good work!

I'm so glad to find you! I've had a blog for a year now, and have dealt with many of these questions myself. It's great to have a guide book.

Thank you! I'm trying to teach myself the basics of this stuff and everyone I talk to in trying to find out info, doesn't respond! This helps to answer a lot of my questions! Thanks!
