Meme: Tips On Blogging

Yay! I've been tagged again. Ben, the sweet as chocolate swirl on a sugar cone lady of Life's rollerCoaster fame, was the tagger this time around. And being such a great sport, i'm having this a go, as usual. You'll find good tips about blogging here.

Here's the instruction on this whole meme thing.


Copy the list below and star (*) five of your favourite ones, add your own tip and pass it on.

*1. Look, read, and learn.

2. Be, EXCELLENT to each other.

3. Don’t let money change ya!

*4. Always reply to your comments.

*5. Blog about what you know & love.

6. Don’t use filthy language-buy a dictionary.

7. Blog about something educational.

8. Be yourself; others will follow.

9. Don’t have too many blogs that will become a chore to maintain.

10. Keep it simple, user-friendly, interesting and organized!

11. Keep the blog simple and sweet!!!

12. Share with others your thoughts and don’t be shy!

13. Never ask for link exchange. Blog hop to increase traffic.

14. Don’t clutter your blog with ads all over the place. IT’S IRRITATING.

15. Don’t comment for the sake of commenting. Some looked too fake and its a big turn off!

16. Share something interesting and you will gain more readers.

17. Show that we care to all bloggers, treat each other as friends.

18. Pictures say a million words. Keep them coming!

20. Don’t think people will come to your blog if you’re not willing to pay a visit to them.

21. Everyone loves read short posting and best, illustrated with a picture.

*22. Try not to publish more than 5 posts in one blog a day. Even if it’s from feed reader, it’s quite hard to digest and catch up reading everything.

23. Blog: the other window to peek into people’s life, minus the trouble. Keep a certain level of privacy to yourself.

24. Never tell your readers that you are going on vacation. That’s basically telling them to not visit your blog for a week. Instead, write several posts, and take advantage of the timestamp feature.

25. Try and write with people in mind that are "somewhat similar to you". Allow your audience to identify with your blog and feel "at home".

*26. The key to a good article is a good introduction. A joke, a question or a picture does wonders.

30. Take on current issues to make yourself look smart, even if you're not.
