Every so often Darren Rowse at ProBlogger runs a group writing project. Lately, he’s been getting some very nice prizes donated from people.

This week’s group writing project is all about “how to” blog posts — posts that provide instructions, advice and step-by-step help. The posts can be on any topic, so it’s flexible enough for everyone to participate. “How to” posts are generally quite popular anyway, so it makes perfect sense for Darren to take this approach.

I like the “how to” format…it’s often quick, easy to get to the point and straightforward for readers.

With that said, I’m declaring this How To Week at Instigator Blog. Every post from this point forward will be a “how to” post.

I’ll submit the first one to Darren’s group writing project. I hope you enjoy the rest of the week! And I would encourage you to check out the ProBlogger Group Writing Project…
