Transforming your blog: Research

I'm currently in the preliminary stages of the Blogger book. The focus of the book will be on transforming a typical blog into a customized site that leverages Blogger and third party
tools. It will be an Internet Cinderella story. The difference is the blog should not turn into a pumpkin after midnight, unless that is the blogger's intention.

Right now I'm defining more precisely what the book IS, IS NOT, and MIGHT BE. It will not be a beginning book about Blogger or blogging. It is not a guide to every possible thing that can be done with Blogger. It's not going to be just a list of blogs that are cool at the moment.

It is going to be a book that discusses what tools and techniques outstanding blogs share, and then shows through a series of topical tutorials (say that 5 times fast) how to transform a typical blog into a more dynamic site.
