I want to gather all bloggers together and disscuss why we care so much about our posts. After all, most of us are lucky if ten people read our posts each day. There are a few bloggers who get huge and thousands of bloggers tune in (or, click in) to read their stuff every day. [...]

I thought it would be an interesting topic for a post if I did a search with that string (minus the not). I found a few cool ones, but for the most part, it was the same old “This is my last post” on blogger, or with this University, etc. I was looking for the [...]

I’ve learned so much about the ins and outs of blogging. Almost into my third year now, I am creating posts to comprise a series on how to “Blog Better.” From starting a self-hosted Wordpress blog to getting your paragraphs together, this is stuff I have taught myself through trial and error.

Besides the elementary rules of usage, there are some elementary guidelines of composition, or writing, that can make any blogger better. If you’re reading this, you probably have a great style and just want to make it better. Let’s face it though, there are a lot of blogs out there that really need some help. [...]

Sometimes I wish I could fix all the annoying things I find on blogs. Has that notion ever filled your head? How do people think they can get blog traffic when they can’t write a cohesive paragraph?
It’s been said there is more than one way to skin a cat. That is true of getting blog [...]
