Mae Clair has a very useful post today on how to create an HTML blog post to share on blog tours, etc. Check it out. It’s much easier than you might think. Thanks, Mae!
Hi, SEers! Mae here today with a topic I hope will be beneficial to a number of readers. Many of you may already know this trick, but I hope you’ll indulge me for those who don’t.

Thank you both! Debby, it’s amazing the things we take for granted because we think others already know. It wasn’t until my recent cover reveal when a few bloggers emailed to say “how did you do that” That I thought it would make a good share! 🙂
And Marica, thanks for sharing with the readers of The Write Stuff. It is super easy to do and also a time saver for both blogger and host! 🙂
