		<description>I won&#039;t go in detail on how to be a review blogger here I had to learn a lot on my own but for mistakes, don&#039;t just review anything because its free. As for checking entries I check the winners entry every time and 90% of them are tweets that I click. Everything is check-able including email subscribers.

Consider joining momdot.com or another community for bloggers to get blog advice.</description>

		<description>I meant to ask if you&#039;d mind if my boyfriend and I linked to your post as well when we start reviews our blogs?

Also, How do you track if entries are legit?  I know they can paste the link for Tweets, but what about Google Friend Connect, Stumble Upon and making sure people subscribed to the sponsors website and followed the sponsor etc.  I&#039;m guessing the honor system comes into play a bit on some items?

Thanks for all your help!  I&#039;m trying to learn from other bloggers along the way.  :)</description>

		<description>What do you mean by &quot;credits?&quot;  Can you give me an example?

Can you give advice as to mistakes you made when you started out?  What do you wish you knew then that you know now?</description>

		<description>As a review blogger myself, I knew most of this myself but it is a well written post for those who have any questions.  You covered most of the bases.  Thanks.</description>

		<description>Yep Rose, I keep track in a spreadsheet! Like I said preparers do things differently across the board so even if I don&#039;t need to do anything because my credits offset everything (they usually do) I have a hard copy in case I get audited. Last year I didn&#039;t have to work as much but I have recently got the point where I am reviewing pretty much full time so I need to keep track or I get behind and messed up fast!</description>
