Thanks a bunch!
No. 66 is a good one 😀
Matt
A lots of tips from this blog and thank you very much
Agreed with your thoughts.
But the first tip confused me.
if you are not ……….., start blogging today
seemed to be a fill in the blank.
Thanks for sharing these ideas. : )
I always proofread my posts in order to catch my many typos and mistakes before (hopefully) someone else does. There really is so much to learn about blogging, and I’ve only scratched the surface so far in my month and a half of blogging.
disagree with point 6.
wordpress isn’t the best for every blog. I use nucleus (not sow happy about it) but i had no choice.
nice article, now funded
thanks,nice tips nedyasafira

Hi, everybody
I browse and saw you website and I found it very interesting.Thank you for the good work, greetings
Social book marking, ping and feeds are my favorites. But the list given is quite comprehensive and learned quite a few new things. Thanks.
So, implementing these tips on my website design site should increase traffic to the site?
I don’t know why I haven’t created a blog on my website yet, but I definitely will, and I’ll be sure to go over your tips when I do. My focus is on graphics design, so these tips on the blogging aspect sure do help.
Can’t thank you enough for this post. Just when you think you are almost done, you learn that there is just about 1 million extra things you could be doing.
I guess that’s the nature of the beast though when you have to wear so many hats as a blogger. I “stumbled” on this site today and think that this is probably the most useful blogging site I’ve ever found. Thanks so much!

I had to come back and read this. I like the way it realy unfolds. These are all true and I am still in the process of learning. Maybe by next year, I can build my own list of things that I learned.
thanks ….
This is the most helpful list! I have read through it a couple times now and keep having those “aha” moments where I realize that such simple tips really do make a difference. Thanks!
Thanks for all tips.
Nice compilation.. One more site I think, you should add there with problogger is http://www.johnchow.com John Chow is writing superb articles on blogging and raising money through blogs. Also you have not learned how to make money online. 🙂
