Some Blogging Tips

Both Maartje and Bucky have tagged me for the Blogging Tips meme. You are to copy the list, add your tip and pass it on. You are also supposed to add a star beside the tips that you like the best. Sounds easy enough, so here goes:

1. Look, read, and learn. http://www.neonscent.com/


*2. Be, EXCELLENT to each other. http://www.bushmackel.com/


3. Don’t let money change ya! http://www.therandomforest.info/


*4. Always reply to your comments. http://chattiekat.com/


*5. Blog about what you know & love. http://sugar-queens-dream.blogspot.com/


*6. Don’t use filthy language-buy a dictionary.http://shinade.blogspot.com/


7. Blog about something educational http://climateofourfuture.org/


8. Be yourself; others will follow http://sfgirl-thealiennextdoor.blogspot.com/


9. Don’t have too many blogs that will become a chore to maintain http://cubicledenizen.blogspot.com/


10. Keep it simple, user-friendly, interesting and organized! http://erishaling.blogspot.com/


11. Keep the blog simple and sweet!! http://www.leslieho.com/


12. Share with others your thoughts and don’t be shy!


13. Never ask for link exchange. Blog hop to increase traffic. http://www.jessieling.com/


14. Don’t clutter your blog with ads all over the place. IT’S IRRITATING. http://oliviasy.blogspot.com/


15. Don’t comment for the sake of commenting. Some looked too fake and its a big turn off! http://sashablablabla.blogspot.com


*16. Share something interesting and you will gain more readers. http://judychow.blogspot.com


*17. Show that we care to all bloggers, treat each other as friends. http://mummyinvain.com


*18. Pictures say a million words. Keep them coming! http://familyfriendsnfood.blogspot.com/


19. Blogging should be fun or you’ll get tired of it pretty soon. http://justmyrambling.com/


20. Don’t think people will come to your blog if you’re not willing to pay a visit to them. http://joshualai.blogspot.com/


21. Everyone loves read short posting and best, illustrated with a picture http://www.demoments.net/blog/


22. Try not to publish more than 5 posts in one blog a day. Even if it’s from feed reader, it’s quite hard to digest and catch up reading everything. http://montessorimum.com


23. Blog, the other window to peek into people’s life, minus the trouble. keep a certain level of privacy to yourself. http://babyshern.blogspot.com


*24. Never tell your readers that you are going on vacation. That’s basically telling them to not visit your blog for a week. Instead, write several posts, and take advantage of the timestamp feature. http://www.bloggingwv.com


*25. Try and write with people in mind that are "somewhat similar to you". Allow your audience to identify with your blog and feel "at home". http://nodirecton.blogspot.com


*26. The key to a good article is a good introduction. A joke, a question or a picture does wonders. http://behindthepage.blogspot.com


27. If you are looking to earn an income blogging read StevePavlina.com and Problogger.net, you will be amazed at what you can learn. http://www.christyscoffeebreak.blogspot.com/


*I loved everyone's tips but I put a star next to those that I actually try to practice when it comes to blogging.

I will now tag:

PurpleFrogCat
The Laid Back Buddhist
Santa Claus
Shinade at The Painted Veil

Have fun!

Wow, those are all worth considering. Good stuff.

What does it mean to blog hop?

Andrew said...

That's actually a pretty neat meme, Christy. Though I'm suprised nobody said, "Join in as many memes as you can!" Heh.

Christy said...

Hi Eastcoast dweller, it is good stuff, isn't it? It's a great meme.

Blog hopping is just like the expression bar hopping. It means going from blog to blog.

Hope you have a great weekend! :)

Christy said...

Hi Andrew,

LoL, that would definitely be a good tip now wouldn't it? I had trouble just choosing one! lol. Have a nice weekend:)

Andrew said...

Heh. I can imagine. You have a nice one too, Christy.

And I gotta say, your smiling photo (on whatever MyBlogLog widget I see it on.) always brightens my day. Though the fact you've got "coffee" in your blog name doesn't hurt either...

Christy said...

LoL, thank you Andrew, you're very sweet, and funny too:)

Joanne said...

Thanks for the tag, Christy! Hm...this is a really interesting one =)

Maartje van Hoorn said...

btw christy, you spelled my name wrong ;)

Christy said...

Hi Joanne,

Your very welcome! :)

Hi Maartje,

Sorry about that! I try to get everyone's name right but with so many friends it's difficult to remember:)

Tish said...

Nice tip, Christy! And thanks for the link!

Maartje van Hoorn said...

No problem, Christy, the fact it's a Dutch name probably doesn't help much either...

Christy said...

You're welcome Tish, have a great weekend! :)

Christy said...

Hi Maartje, true, but I know what it's like, my last name is Lithuanian and absolutely no one can get it right, lol.
