		<description>I recognize myself in some of these points.. Not that I did them, but that I DIDN&#039;T follow them up.. I was not consistent for example.. And that&#039;s one of the most important things I believe!

My English writing skills are not that great, but I have to overrule it with good content.. And that one I didn&#039;t had much either.. Yesterday I &quot;re-started&quot; my (still starting) blog and I&#039;ll post around 4~5 times a week.</description>

		<description>I find that a blog gains credability when it is consistent in its writing, and when the writer engages its readers with feedback to their comments. 

It doesn&#039;t matter if you only get one or two comments on your blog, responding to them makes you seem more real to your readership, and thats what you should be aiming to do. 

In fact this is more important for small, less popular blogs than when a blog is popular - for instance its great that Darren follows up his posts with feedback in the comments, especially when asked questions or good points are raised, but it wouldn&#039;t overly impact problogger if he didn&#039;t respond as often. However, if this blog had few comments, Darren responding would draw people into the conversation and help promote the blog as being a credible source of information.

I also much prefer to read blogs by authors who make no attempt to hide who they are, or what their motives for writing are. If you are writing to make money, fine, it doesn&#039;t (and indeed shouldn&#039;t) have any impact on the quality of the writing or the accuracy of the text, so be up front and open about it. If you are writing because you love the topic or just love writing, then be open about that as well.</description>

		<description>To me, teh first important factor is content. If you do not have useful content, then everything else is useless. For keeping a visitor coming back to you on a regular basis there is no alternate to good and high quality content.</description>
