Blogtoberfest!

It’s that time of the year again. Happy Blogtoberfest!

What is Blogtoberfest? Besides having the greatest name ever, it’s a celebration of everything blog. A challenge to bloggers to step up their game, and a treat for readers to enjoy more artwork, more tutorials, more give-aways and general bloggy goodness.

This year, I have a new mascot,  Blog Dog. Isn’t he cute?

Blog Dog and I are going to introduce a new feature to my blogtoberfest celebration. All month long, I’ll be giving tips and tutorials on how to create a better blog. Look for Blog Dog in posts this month, he’ll help you celebrate your blog!
