About I Teach Blogging: Blogging | WordPress

I Teach Blogging frames blogging as a constant decision-making practice. The show is about WordPress, SEO, content, and online business, but it is just as interested in the doubts behind those tools. Episodes ask whether a blogger is choosing the right niche, title, business model, workflow, or next task. That gives the show a grounded feel. It does not treat plugins as the whole problem. It treats publishing as the problem, and then talks through the systems that make publishing possible. Practical episodes cover resource pages, podcast artwork, email lists, Google Drive folders, image naming, backups, featured images, website redesigns, and the usefulness of keeping every article tied to a clear file structure. Other episodes step away from checklists and into the feelings that slow creators down. Fear of public speaking becomes a lesson in determination. A short podcast episode becomes a chance to talk about assistants, trying things, and staying authentic. A discussion of simpler blogging turns into a sharp reminder that less technical friction leaves bloggers facing the hardest job: creating the answer people came to find. The tone is loose, direct, and often self-correcting, with the speaker thinking out loud rather than presenting finished doctrine. That makes the show useful for bloggers who learn from process, not just prescriptions. Guest conversations, including Kathy Lawdansky from mysideoffifty.com, bring in examples of audience focus and email opt-ins. The show works best for independent bloggers, WordPress users, and content creators who need both concrete systems and permission to keep going while things feel awkward. Its core promise is practical blogging help without sanding off the uncertainty of doing the work in public.

Made for: Independent bloggers, WordPress users, and content creators who want practical help with publishing, organization, SEO, and list growth. It especially suits people who appreciate candid talk about nerves, mistakes, and unfinished systems.

What sets it apart: The show blends tactical blogging instruction with unusually frank process notes about fear, embarrassment, relaunching, and working through messy decisions. It feels like a working blogger documenting the build while teaching from it.
