i dont know how to use wordpress. but blogger is good then wordpress 😀
Great list Daniel. Fantastic resource for bloggers.
All 101 points to be followed still in 2011.
Thanks Daniel!
I have printed up business cards with my blog address on it and I pass them out all the time to people and ask that they share the blog with their friends. I also share my blog on my Facebook page for people to link to it.
I find that people will subscribe to your blog if you ask them — it just has to be interesting and enjoyable and useful information. : )

Nice list . I like how short each entry was. If I made a list, one would be so long . about 5 lines by the time I stated exactly what I wanted to say, that the list would be actually boring instead of intriguing kind of like this post! lol . nice list, I’ll check out your blog since someone said it rocked
I definitely mention my 101 list here too, however I don’t know when I will come up with a the list that I’ve learned. Coz I have a lot to learn first. 😀

Hello Daniel,
I’ve been following your blog since the beginning…when you had less than 3000 followers.
But it’s still very informative for me to go back and re-read some of these classics.
I was wondering…..do you have an update to this beauty?
Warm Regards,
David.

I especially like the last one. 101 list do great on social bookmarking websites.
good list of tips i can now apply this thanks for those tips!
My first thought when I saw the title of 101 Blog Tips was that the list would be overwhelming. But the tips are short and to the point. I was glad to see that I am already doing some of your tips . I plain on gradually implementing more tips until I work my way through your list.
Just use Blogger for newbie and then WordPress
Great 101 list.
Write and write that’s what I need now. I only have 85 posts as of this time. I agree, problogger is a great reference too.
Number #3: Before buying your own domain make sure that you have been had much knowledge about wordpress, html, or php programs
