Sure it's not your point of view and one of your readers, but I still think it's uncalled for. There are a lot of great blogs out there about blogging. It's hard enough for bloggers starting out to make a wave in the blogging world, but with advice advice like this :( I guess to some extent it is sour grapes on my part because I have a blog where one of my main themes is blogging. But I still can't help but feel a little hurt when I see my feed subscription count drop considerably to it's lowest point in ages on the 6th of September, the day following this post. Someone even made a post on their blog saying that they were cutting back all their "blogs about Blogging" rss feed subscriptions and gave me and others that they were cutting back link love for the evil deed, at the same time saying why he enjoyed reading my blog and what was great about it. I wonder how many of Problogger rss subscribers blog about blogging? I guess it's a case of "first it giveth, then if take it away"...because I gained many of my subscribers during Probloggers "31 days to Building a Better Blog Project". So I guess I can't get too angry, but I think this goes to show the influence that an article on an A list blog can have. Cheers anyway Darren, Problogger is a great resource, and I will continue to subscribe :) I am annoyed with Point 3 if I am honest.”Cut down on reading about blogging” – where Simmons goes on to suggest he only reads Problogger now.

So I simply decided to write at the speed I can manage. I know you would say write every day. But I realized I can write a better article by slowing down. Also I am now using expression engine, and one thing I like is I can actually schedule when the article is published. So I stored a number of articles at least for the next few weeks. That helped me to manage the pressure. After 2.5 months of blogging experience, I learned how much I can write within a week. So I simply decided to write at the speed I can manage.

But I especially like the first one, about removing all distractions, including the internet. I'm writing more and more of my posts offline, using MS Word (to avoid losing posts by pushing the wrong button, which I've done more than once). But the sparse Word Doc forces me to concentrate and I shut down my internet browser. I can usually write a longer post that is better in quality than if I write a post directly into my blogging platform. I have a short attention span as it is, so if I don't remove a lot of distractions, I'd never get anything done! Thanks for all the tips! Those are all good suggestions!

My own tip here would be to carry any thing (notebook or cellphone) where you can write down sudden idea. Later you can develop it into post.

I can flip through 600+ posts each day in 5-10 minutes. I open up the articles I want to comment on (like this post), read more thoroughly or ones that have good article ideas and then spend another 15 minutes flipping through those pages and commenting, saving the notes to GoogleDocs or reading and moving on. This one tool keeps me in tune with my niche markets that I blog about or gives me the latest Rugby stats for the World Cup! It's a brilliant must-have tool for any blogger.

The tips you've included here are brilliant, and anyone following them can't fail to improve their blogging. And Rich Minx - your tip on leaving the house sometimes is invaluable. It's something I often forget to do with working indoors all the time. So, as soon as it gets light this morning, I'm off for a walk. Thank you. Thank you so much for including my tip Darren.
