And I loved the interactive with Darren's comments. It is easier to relate the different views together like this rather than reading a complete post with a different viewpoint. This seems more like a conversation. Thank you for an engaging read. Nice tips! And I loved the interactive with Darren’s comments.

I've been writing 2 guest posts weeks ago and I received good traffics too. It's good to get traffics and one-way link from guest posting, but be sure the post is quality and helping people. :) Regards, Lee Guest posting is good, but it takes time to write in a quality content.

I especially like that you stress getting to know the blog you are posting on. I think it is interesting that each of you differ on how to present your post. While I think both can work, I think presenting a post upfront could provide a lot of benefit. The blogger may not particularly care for the post at first, but could give some valuable insight for changes that will create a better post for the blog. I like the idea of being able to see a writing style before agreeing to allow them to post as well. @Darren, I really like that you added your POV throughtout the post. It felt as if I was listening to a conversation instead of just reading words. Like above, it is nice to see 2 differing opinions and the pro's and con's of each. I would like to see more of this. @Josh – I think the tips you give are spot on. I especially like that you stress getting to know the blog you are posting on.

I'm fairly new here and really appreciate all the great articles and advice on here. I particularly enjoyed this post too as it was very informative and encouraged me to start doing some guest blogging. Darren, I really enjoyed your comments to on this. It gave it a nice interactive and conversational feel. Although at first I was a little confused as I'm fairly new to this blog and it took a few secs to realize what was going on, but after that I really liked hearing both sides on the guest blogging issue.

A few of you have said the italics didn't do enough to differentiate between who was talking -- me or Darren. I agree, another color or some sort of indentation / boxing would make it a lot more fluid. But I still think the comments added to the experience, especially as the guest poster. I got more out of it than if Darren just hit publish! Thanks again for all the comments guys and gals!

Since I am not a frequent visitor here, I was confused at the introduction. I think it would be helpful to set off your comments not just in italics but in a different color. I also felt that in a couple of cases Darren was commenting for the purposes of commenting but it didn't bring value added - was just repetitive. One of the main reasons that I have turned down guestbloggers on my blog is that I felt that their writing was not very engaging or they did not have good images. I personally would much rather see the finished product than agreeing to a post beforehand. I found the chiming in to be a little confusing.
