102 Blogging Tips

Solomon Rothman has put together a quick list of tips to consider when blogging. The list has 102 items, but I noticed a few “fluffy” ones that looked like they were thrown in to get the list to 102.

Here’s the first ten…

Make sure a new visitor can discern the who, what, where and why of your blog within three seconds
Write original content
Make your posts scan-able
Use pictures and other visual content
Use a custom theme
Have easy and multiple subscribe options
Include blog author information
Donâ€™t use too many categories
Reference old posts and topic history
Use spell check

Despite that, it’s a great list and won’t take you more than 10 minutes to read. Feel free to share any that made you go “doh, why didn’t I think of that before.”

Hi Andy,

I’m glad you enjoyed that post and thanks for the link, it’s very much appreciated. It looks like you really were reading those rss feeds from your “I want your rss feed” post, unless of course you discovered my blog before / after that. I’ve got some more ambitious content planned as well (video), but it’s a lot of work getting everything executed correctly. Thanks again for the mention / link.
