We're beyond excited to let you know that the Food Blogger Pro affiliate program has officially launched! Before I explain more about the program I wanted to say a big thanks to the team that helped make sure that every pixel was in place and every line of code written perfectly.
These were really incredible people to work with and we couldn't have done it without them.
Giveaways are an incredible way to grow your social media following, attract new readers, and even do market research.
In this course, we cover the basics of getting up and running with a giveaway, customizing your giveaway with pictures and additional entry options, promoting your giveaway, and closing your giveaway once it has ended.

The growth of microblogging sites like Twitter have pushed URL shorteners into the mainstream. Owl.y, Goo.gl and Bit.ly are examples of sites that offer URL shortening services.
In this course we use Bit.ly to create a basic short URL, track the stats for that URL, and then create our very own custom branded short URL.
As we say in this course, short is good!

Before talking details, I wanted to share why I feel like this is such an important part of Food Blogger Pro.
Good news from Food Blogger Pro! We're almost ready to launch the FBP forum.
Before we launch the forum, we want to get to know you a little bit better and give you an opportunity to get to know other members, so we put together a simple get-to-know-you survey.
What's the one thing that's constant with technology? Change. 🙂
Below are the Food Blogger Pro videos that have recently been updated.
Course: Akismet
Akismet is a comment spam prevention plugin from Wordpress.com (reminder: Wordpress.com is the for-profit branch of Wordpress).
Update: When signing up for Akismet you now need to use a Wordpress.com username to login. Wordpress.com is starting to require this for many of their products and plugins. We added a note to this video to notify viewers that the sign up process will first ask them for their Wordpress.com username before asking for additional information. Even if you use a self-hosted Wordpress.org blog you'll still need to create a Wordpress.com username.
The list of responsibilities you have as a food blogger can seem endless. You're the photographer, the food stylist, the author, the recipe developer, the dish washer, the IT person, the social media manager, and the marketer. Did I miss anything? I'm sure I did.
One thing you don't have to do on your own is public relations. You can use Google Alerts to help.
