20 Tips for Good Blogging
Tuesday, January 15, 2008 Edit This 2 Comments »
I read this great article about blogging that I thought I would share with you all. The 1st three are below.
1. Starting a blog is easy. There are many free blog services. Blogger.com is very user-friendly and will lead you through a pain-free set-up process. If you want to keep a specific domain (without “blogger” in the URL), you’ll need to set up your own domain and import it into another blog service, such as wordpress.com.
2. Decide what you want your blog to be. Who are your target readers? It’s important to decide from the beginning whether you’re blogging for professional or personal reasons. If you want to blog strictly as a diary or a way to get the creative juices flowing, password protect it. Think hard about who your potential readers are and what sort of image you want to portray. Announce your full vision for your blog in your first post.
3. Post one time a week at the absolute minimum. This is important, because once you develop a regular readership, you don’t want to lose it. Every day is ideal, although there’s a high burnout rate for bloggers who post this frequently. Aiming for three to five posts per week is a good goal.

2 What's on Your Write Mind?:
Hmm, well I don't think I qualify as a good blogger then - I'm so sporadic and I have no 'theme' whatsoever :)
Speaking of blogging tho', I finally answered your readers question - check out my latest post!
Hope you're keeping well Sandy...
