other peoples’ advice on blogging
I’m light on original content today…
I keep on telling people how much fun it is to have a weblog and offer my assistance whenever they need it for setting up or anything else. So here are some good posts for beginner and more experienced bloggers. I have quite a bit to take from the advice dispensed here; things that I was aware of for a while but was too lazy to implement such as a picture of myself with an “about” page and some custom style/graphics. I’ll get to it.
“The Seven Deadly Sins of Blogging” - I pretty much agree with everything written here (except I wouldn’t go comparing JK Rowlings to Shakespeare.)
If all you post say, “hey look what I found over there (link), I think it’s great and you should look at it…â€, then you will eventually lose all your reader because you have nothing original to offer.
“7 Mistakes for your First Week Blogging” - Good advice here for beginners and experienced bloggers. I am just now — after nearly a year of blogging — getting over obsessing over my stats.
“Been blogging 6 months” - Great advice from a pure genius.
While we’re on the topic of lists, here’s a good one:
“The Top 100 Things I’d Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord”
Enjoy.

Don’t forget about EFF’s Legal Guide to Blogging. http://www.eff.org/bloggers/lg/ (probably very US-only).
