Is your New Year's Resolution to create a blog, but you don't know how to start? Did you recently begin blogging, but have a lot of unanswered questions?

11 of BlogHer's Contributing Editors have volunteered to give free 1/2 hour phone consults to beginning women bloggers. All you pay for is the cost of the call. Here's how you can take advantage of this special opportunity:

1. Read through each woman's area of expertise to find the best mentor for you.
2. Send her a brief email with 3-5 questions you would like to discuss during your call.
3. Suggest 3 possible days and times for you to connect. Be sure to include your time zone.
4. Once you agree on a day and time, you are responsible for calling your mentor at the time you agreed upon. If you need to cancel, please give your mentor 24 hours notice. If you cancel with less than 24 hours notice, it is your mentor's decision whether or not she would like to reschedule.

If you are a seasoned blogger who would like to offer your expertise to a beginning woman blogger, put a comment in this post with your name, area of expertise, blog(s) and the best way to contact you.
