31 Days to Building a Better Blog – Day 8
Today is day 8 of the 31 days to building a better blog project and I’m about to start posting a series of posts on Search Engine Optimization that I’ve been working on – hold on to your blogging instrument of choice – we’re about to go into overdrive!
Before I kick off the new series I want to highlight some great posts that were submitted by readers in the past 24 hours. Here’s what came in:
- Stuart has written a post about Writing for the Web with some practical tips to help with our blog writing
- Digital Doorway is asking people to respond to a Netiquette question – How should a blogger respond when they get a comment?
- Thom has written a post on Better Blogging with five suggestion to more successful blogging (tip 5 is my favorite)
Do you have a blog tip (big or small) to share? Don’t keep it to yourself – share the knowledge, write it up on your blog and let me know the URL and I’ll link up tomorrow so we can all learn from your experience. No tip is too small – we’re all on this journey together – we might as well give each other a leg up from time to time because as we do we all win.
Stay tuned for the SEO series.

Have you addressed RSS feeds? As a Bloglines user, I for one like reading full articles through it (vice clicking through to the web site). But as a blogger, I want people to go to my site. What’s the right answer?

I replied to Digital Doorway’s article with a post on responding to comments, if anyone’s interested.

Thank you Darren!
The post asking readers what they consider to be the proper way to respond to comments has gotten a LOT of comments – LOL!
Thank you so much for the link. The results have been pretty interesting!
(And thanks to “Gone Away” for linking as well!)

I’ve been reading all of these articles in this series, and I think that I now have enough material to start my action plan and restart my site with some success. The information here is very helpful.
Comments will be closed off on this post 90 days after it is published. Apologies to those this impacts but it's a regrettable and temporary measure to combat a growing comment spam problem. See our most recent posts where you can comment here.
