About Us

A Little Bit About Us....

The Blog Guidebook is the vision of two friends who want to see the blogging community grow in friendship, creativity & beauty.  We created a blog whose format is pretty, attractive and a little bit girly, not like those bland techie blogs that looks so unfriendly!

We want to make it easy for you to find answers to YOUR basic blogging questions, when you just need that little bit of extra help.

Isn't that really what blogging is all about?

Established in 2010, The Blog Guidebook encompasses all bloggers, be they crafty, creative, cooks, bakers, teens, moms, dads, children in need, pet lovers, home-stylers, antiquers, flea marketers, homeschoolers, doctors, lawyers, in any country, and on and on. You name it, you can blog it. And we want to read it!  We've created over one hundred categories just for you to find the blogs you've been searching for.

Blogging is the new form of journalism. It is a way to self-publish your dreams, hopes and stories of your world. 

The Blog Guidebook offers a way for others to find you, in a friendly, happy, easy-to-navigate, safe environment.

The Guidebook offers:

Spotlights and Features of notable blogs and bloggers
Free Listings for your blog in a simple search format

You can ask us questions and get an answer. The Blog Guidebook is backed by caring people, not just a computer server with an automatic reply. We want to help your blog be the best it can be.

1. Liz at Womanly Woman

2. Simone at GreatFun4Kids - I'm a wannabe writer, obsessive photo-taker and addicted blogger... finding fun on the rollercoaster of life... a Kiwi girl married to a Geordie living Downunder in Auckland, New Zealand. Mother to three clowns, wife of the Ringmaster... I am Simone, married to Mr G, with Dash (9), Miss Fab (7) and Scrag (3).

3. Pam at PamHeggie - I'm a lucky mom of three little boys and I also somehow scored a stinking awesome husband! I started my blog to share my love of photography, digital design, interior design, scrapbooking, and some diy stuff, and in the end, somehow managed to create an entire new hobby for myself that soon became an exciting side business for me, blog design. It's no accident all of my hobbies are hermit-encouraging, as I live for days that I don't have to change out of my husband's tee shirt!
I can't wait to contribute whatever I can, and am excited to broaden my online horizons!

I live on Vancouver Island BC Canada. Along with my wonderful hard-working husband and our sweet little boy we have been restoring a 1920's Craftsman Bungalow with a farmhouse feel and coastal influences. We rely heavily on our own sweat and tears by re-furbishing, re-purposing and doing it ourselves! 

6. Shannon at Living With Umami - I write about my life, & experiencing it with my family, in the kitchen & through my camera’s lens.

7. Julianna of The Girl That Sings - is a 20-something girl who spends her time either writing, singing, or talking. If you could sum her up in one sentence it would be, a visionary idealist who wishes to conquer the world before her 25th birthday. She is married to her very own music man and their love story is a mix between soap opera and fairytale. She documents nearly everything and hopes to someday make a mark on this world. She is the writer behind the blog, The Girl That Sings.

8. Missy from Domesticated Diva Blog  - has been blogging for almost two years as The Domesticated Diva. She chronicles her transition from being a spoiled prima donna, used to being served, to a humble homemaker trying to serve her family. She shares homemaking tips and tricks, recipes, and insights that she has learned as a new mother- along with blunders and mishaps on her journey to become a domesticated diva.
