Melanie Nelson has a master’s degree in technical writing and has been working with online media since 1995. Her web site, BloggingBasics101.com, is a top resource for beginning and intermediate bloggers and is listed as one of the 100 Top Freelance Blogs.

She is a technology contributing editor at BlogHer and she has taught beginning blogging classes at conferences such as BlogHer, BlissDom, and I_Blog. Melanie is currently co-authoring TypePad For Dummies (Wiley Publishing) which is due in stores in early 2010.

I started Blogging Girl over a year ago. The purpose of the blog is to provide me with a specific niche to discuss all things related to blogging. In my day I have done a lot with domains, hosting, web design, graphic design, coding and blogging, and it’s nice to be able to talk about those things in a venue that is dedicated to the subject.

Anyway, for all things related to blogging, including content management systems (my poison of choice is WordPress) and plugins, design, domain registrations and hosting, check out Blogging Girl!
