Mummy Blogging for Dummies

From the makers of Presidency for Dummies, Jihad for Dummies and Forensics for Dummies comes a brand new title. Ladies hold onto your hats and sharpen your elbows because coming to a bookstore near you is...   *drumroll*...  Mom Blogging for Dummies. Because clearly what is needed in the world is a step by step guide on how to make your blog look exactly like every other 'Mom blog' on the planet.  





I've been privy to a sneak preview and I can announce that the chapters go a little something like this*

1.  How to write the ubiquitous toilet training post to announce your Mom Blogging arrival**


2.  How to write a meme, with 7 things no-one wants to know about you***


3.  How to crawl up the arse of bigger named bloggers
4.  How to over-decorate your blog with sparkly bling
5.  How to win that all important Nutella gig
6.  How to host an over-complicated giveaway
7.  How to whinge because you're not high enough on any chart, despite only blogging for a month
8.  How to court PR's and then complain because you've got too many reviews to write up
9.  How to beat yourself around the head with a big stick when you think of something original to write that doesn't involve a McLinky.
10.  How to write interesting content.
10.  How to sell your soul. 

I think it will be an instant hit.




*I have made these chapters up but time will tell how close I was...
**Obviously a delve around the VBinC archives will throw up at least two such posts
***There may be a couple of these knocking around as well...
