Blog Title Book Hotels Cheaper
Blog URL: www.bookhotelscheaper.com
Blog Tagline: A how to blog from an industry expert on how to reserve hotel rooms at the lowest cost available plus valuable travel tips and advice.
What makes the blog worth visiting?
I write about current events; (economic conditions, hotel forecasts, even the American Idol tryouts last week); offer valuable travel information (such as need for travel insurance, how to not waste time and money when traveling, inside information about internet travel sites) and give valuable advice on how to find the lowest rate a hotel offers.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
“Like any industry, scams are present in the travel arena too. Here’s late-breaking news out of Kansas of yet another scam intended to separate people from their money. It could be heading your way too…
It’s always easy in retrospect to say “if it seems too good to be true, it probably is” but when an official looking mailer arrives telling you about ‘opportunities’ in a particular area, many are initially caught off guard. This appears to be what drives this latest scam – located this time in Wichita, Kansas…” David Reynolds

Blog Title Genealem’s Genetic Genealogy
Blog URL: http://genealem-geneticgenealogy.blogspot.com/
Blog Tagline: Northwest Regional Coordinator and Speaker for ISOGG (www.isogg.org)
Administrator for eleven FTDNA DNA Projects
What makes the blog worth visiting?
DNA is a hot topic and very valuable for family historians and genealogists, and genealogists do not have time to write their own memoirs, usually. I give presentations on Genetic Genealogy (use of DNA for genealogical research) as well as on writing one’s childhood memories and family stories using a simple technique. This blog addresses various genetic genealogy issues from time to time, but also lets the public know where I’ll be speaking. By emailing me directly the public can get support in understanding DNA testing, what tests would be helpful, which companies are best as well as learn how to easily write their family stories for their descendants.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
DNA Testing, a genealogist’s most accurate tool, proves your paper trail is correct. How do you spell research success? I spell it D-N-A!
Every researcher wants to find a diary or journal of an ancestor….where’s yours??? Write it easily with Emily’s booklet: “Memoing” My Memories. Everyone’s life story deserves to be told!

Blog Title Mortal Ghost
Blog URL: http://mortalghost.blogspot.com
Blog Tagline: A YA Fantasy Novel
What makes the blog worth visiting?
Online and e-fiction are beginning to come into their own, and it’s no longer necessary to go to a bookshop to find exciting, well-written fiction. It’s only a mouseclick away – and not just for teens!
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
The PDF file of Mortal Ghost is downloaded 50-100 times per day in places as far-flung as Iran and Mongolia and Chile and Uganda and Singapore and India, as well New York and London and Sydney. The best part of writing for an online readership is knowing that your book is reaching people who might otherwise not have access to a print edition – or who couldn’t afford it.

Blog Tagline: Little Bits
What makes the blog worth visiting?
I’m a 20-something working mum juggling life in the ‘burbs of London with working in the City and being a pastor’s wife. There’s some ghosts, probably no skeletons in the closet, maybe a little bitchiness on occasion, but generally some good old fun.

Blog Title Pondering Penguin
Blog URL: www.ponderingpenguin.blogspot.com
Blog Tagline: Politics, Current Events and Life
What makes the blog worth visiting?
My blog is written in essay form and my writing is on politics, and current events. Sometimes life makes its way into the blog, too.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
I think the best blogs are those written by writers with a passion. I write about politics and current events because it is my passion. My blog has evolved into a political blog over the course of the three years I’ve been blogging. I finally found my voice. My political thoughts are a bit different than those of typical Republicans. I’m a proud moderate and believe in listening to all sides.
