For the past week I’ve been engaging in some high activity amongst Chris Garrett’s Authority Blogger Forums. There has been some absolutely fantastic discussions between excellent and very knowledgeable people, but now Chris has stepped up to the plate and given bloggers even more reason to make use of the community.
Guest Post Requests and Offers
Situated amongst the profile fields, you can now add your blog URL’s, blog topics and display whether or not you accept guest posts. You can also search to find blogs to guest post on that match your preferred topics.
We all know the benefits of guest blogging, but as far as I know, this is the first request and offer guest blogging feature.
By the end of October, Chris, co-author of the ProBlogger book and blogging consultant, will be looking for blogs to write guest posts for. Having somebody as established in the blogosphere as Chris write a post on your blog would be a huge honour. Chris will be using just one place to find his blogs to write for and that place is Authority Blogger.
Win an Authority Blogger Course Membership Every Month
Each month a committee of forum members comes together to select the forum member who has given the best contribution over the last 30 days. This person is chosen as the Featured Blogger of the Month and wins access to Chris Garrett’s Authority Blogger Course. The course has a value of nearly $400 and a reputation that can’t be argued with.
I highly recommend joining in the discussions within the forums. They truly are a valuable resource to all bloggers. They’re not overrun with advertising and self promotion. Just good, honest, knowledgeable people who are building solid blogging relationships.

Hey VeRonda,
Thanks for the kind comments.
Yup, that banner is a nice dig at the MMO niche. Glad you liked it.
Hey Jamie,
Thanks for the heads up. That’ll be a good resource to look for guest posting opportunities. I’ve heard a lot about Chris G and Authority Blogger… have you tried it out yet?
