The post 18 Lessons I’ve Learned about Blogging appeared first on ProBlogger. In November 2002 I first heard the word blog after a mate e-mailed me a link and said I should consider starting one. Within 24 hours I’d created my first blog (a blogspot blog that doesn’t exist today). Since that time I’ve run 20+ blogs (most have survived, some have not) and I’ve also transitioned from hobby blogger to part time blogger to full time blogger.

Happy release day to author Becca Kinzer! Becca’s second novel “Love in Tandem” hits shelves today. In this rom-com, Charlotte is perfectly content leading a quiet life in her small hometown. Zach is an adventurer with unquenchable wanderlust. The two couldn’t be any more opposite if they tried. But a tandem bicycle and a 500-mile road trip just might change all that.

As someone who likes to travel, I love to pick up fun tourist shirts and souvenirs. One especially humorous shirt said, “No, we don’t have kangaroos in Austria.” It’s funny how just a few letters can make a world of difference in meaning. The terms copywriting and copyrighting often receive the same mix-ups. Though, no one has made a shirt about it yet, at least that I have found.

It's a scenario as old as freelancing itself, yet remains as fresh and frustrating for every new generation of freelancers. This practice, often sugar-coated as an opportunity for exposure or experience, undermines the value of a freelancer's work and expertise.

It’s a bit of a paradox: You can’t copy other people’s writing, but you’re supposed to use their main points to back up your own.

Paraphrasing might seem like a way of avoiding plagiarism, but it can be considered a form of plagiarism if you don’t cite the original source. Citing paraphrases involves more than just mentioning the author’s name. Each formatting style—APA, MLA, or Chicago—has its own particular rules about how to cite paraphrased information, and these contrasting styles can be confusing.
