other peoples’ advice on blogging

November 21, 2005 by Saar Drimer

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…”, 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).
