“Blogging for Dummies, 2nd Edition” auf Deutsch!

Shane and I got some exciting news today: “Blogging for Dummies, 2nd Edition” has been picked up for translation into German.

I wonder what “dummies” is in German? Babelfish tells me it is “Attrappen,” but I’ll be curious to see what the title actually is when I get a copy of the book.

So, wilkommen, German readers!

Blogging for Dummies Book Launch Party!

Today is a big day for me and for Shane Birley, my co-author on “Blogging for Dummies, 2nd Edition.” We’re having a book launch party! I haven’t done this with either of my other books. It can be hard to find the energy to plan an event like this after you’ve written the whole book and done a bunch of marketing. But this time friends urged us not to let the opportunity go, and even helped organize it (Thanks Allyson!).

This is an RSVP event, but we still have a few slots available, so if you would like to come, let me know and I’ll put you on the list. Here are the details:

Wednesday, Feb. 13, 6 pm - 9 pm
Railway Club Chill Lounge
579 Dunsmuir at Seymour
Vancouver, BC
