Blogging 201 – for after you’ve gotten your blog posted

Posted on August 20, 2007 by Gandalfe

The Coding Horror blog site lays out some very nice rules to consider in the piece ‘Thirteen Blog Clichés‘. I personally don’t agree with all of these but really like the observations about not using the ABOUT the author and turning COMMENTS off. I know some people that do this and actually, they are generally not very nice people anyway so they may be doing us a service. The observations about the excessive flair, blogroll, and ads ring true too. Although I know one very nice lady who only blogs with pictures and it is a very popular site. I don’t get it, but that is a fact.

Hey, and since it’s my podium, can I just say leave a comment or two? Bloggers live for comments from the blogosphere. I have a wonderful blog posse who are so good about this. And I often add to my very selective ‘friends’ list based on comments left on other blogs.

Enjoy.

    Interesting 13, not sure I agree with all of them either but a few of them did make me think….hmm, maybe I should be doing that (or not). Thanks for finding an interesting read.
