I was astounded today to find out that some serious internet folks I work with in blogging had never heard of a Blog Carnival. I’ve worked with Blog Carnivals since 2006. I was equally shocked when another internet type shared with me their fear about a clearly viral and well known email hoax. It brought up a good point for me to blog on here today: make sure you remember you know more things than many people. They may know other things more than you as well. This is relevant to blogging because when you write you need to assume they know hardly anything. If the goal is to get them coming back and reading more, then you need to show them the way. Assuming they get everything you’re saying can be like shooting your traffic in the foot.
Aside: I publish a Blog Carnival called “Amazing Visions.”
