3 basic tips to get your blog running
Create your blogging style - your blogging style is what will make your blog unique. Your style is in part your writing , in part your experiences, in part of the topics you cover and the way you write about them.
If you create it well enough someone can read a piece you write and know it’s you even if there’s no author credited.
Some more good tips about it you find at the webblogcollection.
Blogging is a conversation with other people. You can write about all you want, but if no one ever reads your words you can also write some simple lines to paper. Bloggers like to link out and are always looking for an interesting content.
Write interesting comments on other blogs both in and out of your topic. Link out to those good blogs.
Take an idea someone wrote about and carry the conversation over to your own blog, but allways with a link to the original post. Bloggers notice who comments and notice who links to them and notice who drives traffic to them.
Publish your feeds, for feedreaders best case full feeds. Not everyone will use a browser to read content on your site. Give them a chance to read your feeds also if they are not on your blog. If your content is good, they will come and start a conversation.
