- A great article written by Alex Cristach discusses the 10 commandments of blogging. Geez! Who would have thought it was so serious. But the skill of writing a good blog it seems, is very serious business. One of his great tips is to be helpful. Share your expertise in an area and that will attract people to read your blog.
- Make sure your spellnig is corrcet.
- If you're planning to get serious with your blog find some good blogging tools, such as design templates, tracking software such as google analytics or site meter to get an in-depth overview of what is being read, how long visitors are staying, and how many visitors you have had in a day, week etc.
- Find a niche topic, which sets you apart from all of the other "I had some toast for breakfast" bloggers out there. This ensures that readers return again and again.
- Try to make it interesting to your readers. Research what they like and try to look at it from their point of view. Short, consise sentences.

Thanks for the tips Laura. You link nicely and that's one of the secrets to being a good blogger. Reading, commenting and linking. So keep it going. And it's ok to be personal and not give a rats about your readership. Sometimes that strategy works well - a bit like Howard Stern. All the best.
