Recently I hosted a thread at Blog Catalog where I reviewed a lot of new blogs.  I noticed some mistakes that kept coming up and decided to make a video explaining them. If you can avoid these three, you’ll have a much better start than most new bloggers.

What do you think new bloggers should avoid? Tune in next week for my next podcast or subscribe to my feed.

    Thanks Damien – like many writers, I find it too easy to stumble into “personality blog” territory and forget my focus, so I’m grateful for the reminder. It also served as a kick to get me to adjust my “about” page and do something about branding my site – that’s today’s work list written!
    I hope you don’t mind a little criticism – invest in a bigger white board and a tripod!
