Jim Lockwood is a blogger who truly loves to blog. Every moment he invests, every word he types – it comes straight from the heart. Even though he authors several blogs, Jim somehow always finds the time to regularly update each of them. His most recent venture is Blogging Startup, which was launched just over a month ago. Jim’s mission with the new site is to share his passion for blogging and the Internet by helping others develop blogs as painlessly as possible.

Blogging Startup is a terrific resource for newbie bloggers, but even veteran bloggers can benefit from the site. The articles are informative, easy to understand, and written in a light, and often humorous tone. Here are a few of my favorites.
