What Everybody Ought to Know About Blogging - 97 Blog Tips
We are entering the last week in the 31 Days to Building a Better Blog project and I’m continuing to enjoy both writing my own tips and reading those being submitted by readers.
Today I’ve got another 97 reader tips for you (taking us to a total of 456 submissions so far) and once again they cover a wide array of topics relevant to any blogger wanting to improve their blog. If you’ d like to be included in the last lists simply follow the instructions in the Introduction to the 31 Day Project post. It’s worth doing - the last one of these posts went onto the front page of Delicious and i heard from a few readers that they had quite a bit of traffic as a result.
I hope you enjoy this wonderful array of blog tips:

Great list of posts, I’m certainly enjoying this months group writing project. It’s given me a chance to share my work with new readers, and it’s given me the opportunity to meet new bloggers.

Darren - Thanks so much for the inclusion. I’ve been a fan for some time and have learned a great deal. While my article is rather basic, it might help some of the folks just starting out to be aware of how they may impact their readers with stuff that isn’t necessarily adding value to a blog. It’s always a good idea to go through and check all those widgets and plugins that seemed like such a good idea at the time.

darren,
some of these blog post are whack (some of them, the ones I went through were only 1 paragraphs, short 2 sentences tips) I am not sure if anyone is experiencing this as well
example: Is it Easy to Make Money Blogging? not even a full page of info and its useless info

Thanks for the tips! Darren, you’re killing me here. All these great tips - a wealth of information - and not nearly enough time to read them all. This is a great problem to have, so don’t get me wrong.
My blog is seeing skyrocketing readership, thanks mostly to the tips I read here on your blog. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks!!!
