I have a post that I have been working on every now and then. One that also updates most days with more information.

In it I cover everything I can think of to do with blogcatalog. But rather than just do a series of posts I have it all wrapped into one post with a new update everyday. Its something that you can come back to again and again.

The list of things I have and will cover are as follows.

Anyway to use a shorter URL? I have a feeling many of us are going to be throwing it onto posts here on the forums.

  Not a bad idea but you get a few masking affiliate links that way

Heh, I've also wrote a report on how to use BlogCatalog to drive INSTANT traffic and how you can use it to raise your credibility, visibility of your blog plus how to build links for your blog.

If you are interested, you can download it from my blog:
