Blogger and editor of Digital Filipino Janette Toral hopes to answer these questions in her latest book “Blogging from Home,” which she launched at the recent Internet and Mobile Marketing Association of the Philippines Summit in Makati City.

Toral, who has been blogging for the last five years, said that she has been thinking of coming out with a book on blogging since 2006 but realized she needed to understand the blogging community more in particular its dynamics.

From making ramen, spaghetti noodles, etc. to aroma candles, this blog offers a lot of ideas which will keep you saying, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

The blog is divided into different topics from tips (for more tips check out over very own Money Smarts), from doing business as an SME, to franchising, etc. It has already been featured by Annalyn Jusay for the Manila Bulletin and is currently among the nominees in the 2007 Philippine Blog Awards.
