31 Days to Build a Better Blog

Posted on 05 January 2010 by Ruthie Kelly

Earlier this year, Problogger started a series called “31 Days to Build a Better Blog,” which included a task for the day as well as a post to read. The project was converted into an eBook that now costs $19.95, but thatnks to SocialFishing, you (and I!) can still access each of those posts and tasks for free.
