Content - Whatever topic you choose to write about be sure to consider your readers. Make it interesting and valuable to them. Think about who your audience is and if they would enjoy what you've written. Always take the time to use spell check, and read what you've written outloud to pick up mistakes you might have missed.
Research - Find out everything there is to know about blogging. Every blogger starts from scratch, don't be afraid to venture into new territory and uncover the mysteries of the blogging world.
Make Friends - Communicate with your readers. Answer comments left on your blog, join communities like MyBlogLog, Yahoo or Google Groups. Spend time reading other blogs and leave comments when you like something you've read or if you think their blog is great. Think about how you can help other bloggers before asking them for help. Remember that common courtesy goes a long way. Don't be shy! Become an active member of the blogging community and show everyone what you've got to offer.
Give It Some Time - Let's face it, blogging can be tough. It's a lot of hard work and dedication, and you won't see instant results. But if you hang in there and keep working at it, eventually your readership will grow, and you will reap the rewards of your efforts.

Robin,
I think a lot of bloggers give up before giving it enough time to work, which is really sad. Thank you for your comment, and I do hope to see you back again!
Many thanks.
Thanks diogenes!
Hi, Christy,
I found your blog via Camille's space and I'm very glad that I did. Will link you and come back and have a long read as you have substantial content here. There are many blogs but not that many dedicated to helping other people grow.
