Episode 7 – 8/6/2007
Guest: Chris Garrett, Blogger ChrisG.com
Background: Developer, Entrepreneur, and Blogger
Total Time: 27 minutes
Chris blogs numerous places, including here sometimes, and is someone who is considered a professional blogger. He and I sat down and had a great conversation about blogging tips and strategies. Our talk actually went twice as long as it should have, but it was a great conversation and I didn’t want to cut it short! So, we rambled on and I have turned this into a two-parter packed full of great information. Chris really knows his stuff and this is a great post for beginner and experienced bloggers alike!

Good interview – Chris is definitely the right person to talk with about blogging and he seems like a real and honest guy. Anytime you put people ahead of money, as I believe Chris does, you will find success sooner or later!
Really enjoyed it, bring on part 2!
