Reposted...:   I'm pleased to announce that the editors of The Huffington Post are producing their first book -- "How to Blog." It will have loads of advice for newbies and veteran bloggers looking to take their blog to the next level. We want to include lots of advice and stories. If you'd like to contribute, please consider answering any of these questions (or any others we forgot) and send your responses to the writer, Laura Vanderkam (lvanderkam@yahoo.com). We'll use your name and your blog name unless told otherwise. Thanks! The book will come out from Simon & Schuster later this year (hopefully in time for the holidays).

1. Why do you blog?
2. How did you get started?
3. Tell us a great story about blogging. This can be anything – a great story you broke, a connection you made, something that affected your life.
4. What makes a good blog?
5. Any advice to rookies?
6. Have you ever seen any downsides to blogging, or had any close calls you’d be willing to share?
