I’ve been asked to give talks on blogging before, and I have 3 rules for blogging:
1) Consistency
2) Quality (content)
3) Commitment (over the long haul)
I’m contemplating doing a communal blog (partially for the friendship and enrichment of it, partially to take the onus off just me to write every day) in WordPress, so these are killer sources of information, Hash. Thank you!
]]>Write interesting and write often.
Let me explain… my thought is that it doesn’t really matter what you write as long as there is a call to action (something for the reader to do) or it is directly relevant to your audience. For example, if you write a technology based blog then they’re probably not going to be interested in a story about you cutting your toenails 🙂
Writing often is also important and it’s quite easy to not blog because you don’t think you have anything to write about. Not true. Your own personal view on random things is what makes you, you – therefore, why not write about them.
Of course I say this and totally fail to follow my own rules!
Oh, and making comments on other people’s blogs that interest you is also a good way of highlighting your blog (hint)
