Thank you! There has been SO SO SOOOO much buzz about this topic. I'll be checking out the links to get some ideas of how to plan for my blog launch on 6/1/13. Trying to be organized this time around. :)

Everybody talks about editorial calendar and why bloggers must have. But I still don't get any excitement with this because I basically write when I feel like. But this post gives me a lot of inspiration to start thinking seriously of getting editorial calendar for my blog. Thanks for a nice list!

Thanks for pulling all the info. together. I've always dreaded blogging, but maybe if I'm organized it will be a relatively painless process.
