Taking a Breather: Say Bye to Your Blog but Not Your Readers

Posted by Jimmy as Community Building, Tips, Writing Having a blog is like having a pet when it comes to taking some time for off. If you want to go on a vacation and has declared it a â€œblog-freeâ€ vacation you should make sure that the blog still gets tended. After all if you have a baby you wonâ€™t just leave it alone at home for days on end. If going out for the afternoon or maybe overnight leaving food and water might be enough but longer than that and youâ€™ll need to make arrangements such as getting a pet sitter, asking your friends for a favor or ...

Using MyBlogLog And Blog Catalog

Posted by Jimmy as Community Building, Opinion I talked about how you can use Twitter to attract more people to your blog in the previous post; people who might not even know that you exist otherwise. There are other ways by which you can gain that much needed and much desired exposure for your blog and one of them is by joining blog directories. I think that this topic has been much talked about in the past â€“ both here at Blog Tutorials and other blogs and web sites. And this is for a reason â€“ blog directories are very effective in helping other ...

Why Use Social Media?

Posted by Jimmy as Blog Tutorial, Community Building, Opinion Very recently, I wrote a post on using social media to promote your blog. What I didnâ€™t really touch on was the main purpose of using social media. Indeed, why spend considerable time on these social media applications when you can use that time to actually work on your blog? The answer is simple â€“ social media can have specific purposes that will benefit your blog in the end. The important thing is that you identify WHY you want to use a particular social media application. Here are some possible reasons. To gain insight about a ...

How Often Do You Read Other Blogs?

Posted by Jimmy as Community Building, Opinion This question popped into my mind while I was talking to another blogger friend. We both blog a lot â€“ in fact, she maintains several blogs at the same. However, when we started talking about other blogs that we read, she gave me an almost blank look. Her unspoken question was â€œDo you really read other peopleâ€™s blogs a lot?â€ I think that this is one very important aspect of blogging. One of the basic principles of blogs is the free exchange of information. More than this, blogs exist because people want to read about the ...

Comments or No Comments?

Posted by Guru as Blog Tutorial, Community Building, Tips Having a comment section on your blog is a good idea because it becomes a venue for interaction between you and your readers as well as between the readers themselves. However, if you remember having your very first blogs with no more than a handful of readers then you probably know how lonely a blog without any comment looks. When it comes to building up your blog traffic the bad news is that a lonely looking blog does not only feel somewhat disappointing to the blogger but also lessens the readers enthusiasm for the blog. Because of this a comment ...

A Blogger’s Responsibility

Posted by BloggurlNeedzRehab as Community Building, Editorials, Opinion, Tips, Writing One of the greatest things that the Internet has brought to writers is that they had been given the freedom to express themselves, sans the strictures and the censorship that editors can bring them. But there are downsides to this freedom, too. Because anyone can very well say anything to the general public, and a lot of people tend to take everything at face value, the Internet had, at some point, needed some cleanup. While it would definitely take a discerning eye to watch out for truth vs. fiction on the Internet, there are days when I actually want to tear down some sites, because they present misleading and even downright erroneous information. That is why, as a blogger, you have the responsibility to present facts from reputable sources.
