Customize your error page

Posted by Ariel as Blog Tutorial, Tips Bored of the same old error page popping up when someone searches through your blog? Don't like that 404 message? The error page is pretty functional itself, you just need to customize it to make it more presentable and then some. I have to stress that this is only for those blogs whose codes can be edited, like the WordPress installation on hosted accounts. The error page shows up when there are posts in your blog that you could have deleted beforehand. Another reason is that you could have changed the permalink structure without using proper redirection. Readers might also type a wrong URL when inputting it in the address bar of the browser, or not typing the correct URL when linking something from your website.

What is your blog’s language?

Posted by Ariel as Opinion, Tips, Writing One of the basics of starting a blog is determining what your blog should be about, which would also relate to choosing your target audience or readers. However, you should also consider how you would present your blog to them---how you would deliver your "message" to your readers---and by this, I meant choosing the language for your blog. Of course, you'll have to consider the pros and cons of using different languages than using one protocol for all to understand.

Get Into The Rhythm

Posted by Ariel as Blog Tutorial, Tips, Writing Putting up a blogging schedule for your blog is not a very easy task. Starting or setting up and maintaining one are two different things. New bloggers tend to become giddy and write a post frequently, then the rate of posting drops down as time passes by, leaving the blog hanging for days, weeks, months, or even forever. I have to admit I'm guilty with this one, as I've made some blogs before, and most of them don't exist anymore. A lot of people have taken blogging for granted; they forget that it's their responsibility, as a blog owner, to take care of their blogs by keeping it updated.

Increase interactivity in your blog

Posted by Ariel as Blog Tutorial, Blogging Tools, Software and Widgets Some blog owners love to interact with their visitors. Getting feedback from them is a way of finding out the presence of their visitors (and not just lurking while surfing through the pages), or whether what they put in their blogs are interesting enough. Let's face it, people love to voice out their opinions (which is one of the reasons why blogs were created) and react to each other's thoughts. By putting up blogging tools in your own blog (or blogs), you can allow your visitors to interact with you, and comment on your posts.
