Only a few months ago, Joel (aka the Blog Tech Guy) and I created our free multi-media Income Blogging Guide.
Since the launch, each day the number of people who download the guide is easily in double figures.
The feedback has been awesome and exceeded our expectations.
Here are a few responses we have received:
Elie Kochman (owner of Optimal Upgrades) said “So check it out, it can help you get up and running as fast as you can read!”

Stephanie Jewett (owner of Nursing Comments) said, “I highly recommend this study packet to ease the frustration of starting your own blog!”

Monique Hrebeniuk (owner of moniqueschlosser) said, “I have never found a better resource material for understanding how to set up a blog successful than this one. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to start a blog or for people like me who figured it out on her own but was missing a few things.”

Kenny Loh (owner of im2financialfreedom) said, “You can find instructions on how to choose your niche, how to do keyword analysis, how to get a domain and hosting, how to install a blogging platform, how to post a content and also learn how to make money from blogging.”

Debbie Bills (owner of Happy Maker) said, “Other courses just give you the basics then you get to read between the lines and figure out the rest. You have included the stuff most people miss and I am very grateful. Your course makes me actually feel smarter. It is like having GPS that tells you exactly when to turn and which way to turn.”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Kevin Pavilonis (owner of vinfit90) said, “they get right into the meat of things such as blogging platforms, keyword analysis, getting a domain, hosting. Oh and they even go through setting up your own wordpress – step by step with multiple screen shots which makes it really nice especially if your new to this sort of thing. The list goes on and on but hey I’m not going to retype the whole report here, go get your own!

John (owner of http://atozemporium.com/) said, “You go into great detail on some of those tricky points, especially around downloading and installing WordPress, and with plugins.”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
A couple of other strange comments we received:
Jaimie said “The website slogan should be: ‘create a blog, AFTER reading my free guide’. Sorry, but I don’t have the time to read a hundred pdf pages.”
What?
Jaimie wants a ‘silver bullet’. He’s been reading far too many of those “scammy” sales pages.
Jaimie is what I call a lazy idiot!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Shelia said, “Why did you say free guide, just to get people to come to your site?
I will read more. But I want to inform you that this is a false statement. I see this all the time on the web and its not right. Let customers know up front that this is not free. Like the information.”
I really don’t understand this feedback. This one is confusing. I did write to Shelia asking her want she meant by saying, “Let customers know up front that this is not free.”
No response was forthcoming.
I can only assume she meant it wasn’t free because she had to give us her email.
Shelia is what I call a time-wasting fool!

So there we have it. A selection of people willing to give us some feedback.

Andrew is an asset to our ongoing website and social media needs. He responds quickly, accurately, and cost effectively. Andrew plays a consultative role in many aspects to our online needs.
Andrew
has extensive knowledge about internet marketing, SEO and building web
sites/blogs. His course explained everything in an easy to understand
way and I now have a web site that is generating me new clients and
producing income from internet product sales.
I've spent insane amounts of money in the past with former webmasters until I discovered Andrew Rondeau.
Andrew
is highly knowledgeable about blogs, and you can get your blog up and running
successfully and fast. Andrew has helped me immeasurably with
my blog and he is patient and good natured and a wonderful teacher.
The
end result is a fantastic site that is attracting a lot more attention
and visitors than my old one.
Andrew is the real deal and he knows his stuff! His customer service is superb and he gets your work done FAST! You won't need to wait around for endless weeks to see results. Most importantly he works on the site as if it's his own, thus you are assured that you will get the best quality service. I now give Andrew all of my new and old sites to work on. Trust me; you cannot go wrong with this gentleman!
I
approached Andrew in February 2010, because I needed to enhance the way I communicated
my business.
Andrew is highly knowledgeable about blogs and very customer service focused. I knew nothing about blogs and Andrew was very kind, patient, pleasant to work with, receptive and responsive. Work was delivered in timely manner and if I need anything done for blog again I would use Andrew. If you are looking for quality work, excellent customer service and someone that really gets YOU and your needs, I recommend Andrew!.
Thank you Andrew for your patience in getting my website and on-line courses on-line and selling. You were fantastic in learning the delivery platform software that I had chosen and you were across the complexities quickly. Your detailed approach in setting guidelines and deliverables bought my focus back to where it should be and got the job done. Thank you for all your efforts it was a pleasure.
I
was impressed with the excellent service.
I was introduced to Andrew by a dear friend Corinne Edwards and Andrew as transformed by blog in ways that have reaped results. My membership has gone up and my blog always looks clean and easy to read. Whenever I send Andrew a request to check out - it's ALWAYS prompt and easy to understand. In my humble opinion he is the BEST when it comes to knowledge of the blogging world.
Andrew was kind enough to offer up his own time as part of an initiative to make the world a better place, and I was one of the beneficiaries of that effort. He spent an hour with me working on improving my bounce rate; he suggested several helpful strategies. Most importantly, he helped me with some key processes to help speed up my site, which had bogged down considerably with overuse of graphics. Andrew helped me get set up with Rackspace, which helped so much. From a load time of almost 30 seconds, the site sped up to about a 6 second load. Thanks so much, Andrew!
I
am very happy to provide a testimonial for Andrew Rondeau. All the parts of
the process of working with Andrew were a pleasure. He clarified what I was
wanting and he delivered it without fuss. He was courteous and prompt in all
his dealings with me. I have no hesitation in recommending Andrew to anyone
who wants work done on their blog.
The best blog builder, and the best blog maintenance, I've ever met is Andrew Rondeau. This fellow is an authentic professional in every sense of the word. He's lightning fast, knowledgeable, competent, a skilled listener. He goes the extra mile. He's able to share his passion for his work and products without being pushy. He as other great internet skills, too, but his most impressive attribute is mastery of website building.
Having worked with Andrew on and off over the last year, I have found him to be very patient, helpful and easy to work with. He is also very knowledgeable, supportive and a true expert.
I happened to stumble upon Andrew's website (WeBuildYourBlog.com) while searching for blogging services that would help me start my very own blog. I was a total newbie when it came to the blogging world. Fast forward 3 months and not only do I have my own awesome blog, but friends and family are actually asking me how to start their own blog and I am able to set their blogs up for them! In only 3 months under Andrew's guidance I went from total newbie to being sought after. Thanks Andrew!
I have been online since 1996 and in that time I have been involved in the development of almost 400 web sites for my clients. I have worked with a wide variety of vendors and I have to tell you that Andrew @ We Build Your Blog has far exceeded my expectations. In addition to his vast knowledge and expertise, he is a genuinely great guy, who always goes the extra mile. I highly recommend him, in fact I only recommend him now for web development.
I wanted a stylish website that presented my original abstract art in a visually attractive way. Andrew came highly recommended to me as a "no nonsense" practitioner. He does exactly what he says he will do: I give him the parameters to work within and he provides a quick and precise service. You will receive nothing but the best from Andrew!
Without Andrew, I wouldn't even have a blog -- I would still just be sitting here, staring at my computer, feeling confused and helpless. With Andrew, I no longer fear confusion and it's impossible to feel helpless. He exerts any and all necessary efforts to resolve any problem or perplexity -- quickly, kindly, intelligently, up to and including IM exchanges in real time via skype. I would urge anyone at any level of expertise (or not) to make the most of his extraordinary talent.
Hi, Andrew Rondeau here and this blog, my blog, will not lie to you. I will give it to you straight.This blog is about blogging, the Internet and sharing my experiences and advice on

[...] some, er, stranger comments that we receive, and Andrew goes into details about those on his blogging guide [...]
The only thing is, me being me, am having difficulties with the plugins
WordPress has it’s own problems with the SEO pack
and blimin WP-DBManager keeps coming up with a message that says that my files may be visible…
It’s hard finding a source that can just tell me what to do when these things happen. I am so confused.
The book is great though. There was no reason for me not to start blogging. Keep up the great work!

When blogging you are always going to come across a number of issue and no guide will tell you all the answers.
You may wish to join a free forum where you can ask such questions – someone will will always be willing to help.
With regards to the backup issue:
1. Log into your cpanel at hostgator. http://www.youdomainame.com/cpanel
2. Click on the file manager icon.
3. Browse to the folder /wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager/
4. Move the file htaccess.txt to the folder /wp-content/backup-db/
5. Rename htaccess.txt to be .htaccess
Does that help?
