New page: Blogging tips
Although this blog is only a few months old, I’ve been blogging for a couple of years now. I’ve picked up some tips along the way that have helped me out from time to time. I’ve written a new page on here called “Blogging tips” that you will hopefully find helpful as you continue to develop and improve upon your own blog. The link is at the top of the page, right next to the “Home” tab. There’s some advice here for writing, attracting readers, commenting, and hosting. I don’t consider myself an expert in this field, but these things have worked for me. And hey, if you’re 180 degrees away from me on a given point, or if you particularly agree with me on something, leave me a comment to let me know. I’d love to hear what you have to say about it.

Rick,
Good advice. I might add “original content” to the list. If I see a post about some news that I have just read in another blog (and there are many many on my RSS feed) I’ll blow right over it and never read what that person had to say about it. I don’t suppose it all has to be unique, but at least add a unique spin. Until you become popular enough with readers that they will read yours just to hear what you have to say about it.
Nice work on the page though. I think that will help a lot of prospective bloggers get started. I’ll admit that it becomes way more fun after the first month or so. It takes a while to really get into it and get comfortable.
Thanks for your hard work!
