Advice To Bloggers
December 4th, 2008 · Posted in Web/Tech, Weblogs · 0 CommentsTody Brown has some good advice for bloggers. He gives what he calls come “simple rules for blogging”. These are:
1. How you present yourself in your writing is how people will see you.
2. What you choose to address in your writing, the issues and people, will affect how people react to you.
3. Your manner of presentation, if you want people to read on a regular basis, must be brief.
4. Humor is the sine qua non of blogging. Use it on a regular basis or choose another format for your public writing.
5. Your blogging must be almost brutally personal. People can sniff out a gimmick or a frustrated author a mile away. If they get any hint of that, they will not continue reading you.
6. Post regularly! Distance is death, absence is lethal.
7. People who comment on other blogs will have their own blog read. What goes around, comes around.
I like his “rules”. You can read them all here.
