A special thank you to HomeBizBlogger for providing a review of InvoicePlace -

If you’re just getting your business started, InvoicePlace is a fantastic way to start out with professional invoices, and this can only help form the opinion in your clients’ minds that you are, in fact, a professional. With the ability to start free and then pay for what you need when you need it, it’s also a great system if you’re just starting that long road to success.

Bob Walsh at Safari Software has released Clear Blogging – a book for those who are interested to find out what blogs are, what makes them tick and how to go about having a successful blog.

From the Amazon.com editorial review - Clear Blogging sets out to answer in nontechnical terms what blogging has to offer and why and how you should blog. If you’ve never read a blog, but you keep hearing that term on the news, Clear Blogging will show you why blogging has shaken up mainstream media, and how a blogger can end up on CNN. If you’re just starting to read blogs, Clear Blogging is your native guide to the blogosphere, covering how to get the best, most interesting information with the least amount of time and effort. The main course of Clear Blogging shows what you stand to gain from blogging, and how you can go from your first post to being welcomed aboard the blogosphere’s A-list.

There is a free sample chapter (“Successful Blogging”) available for download here as a PDF document.
