Starting Out: What to Do and Not to Do!

Posted by Dr.D | December 2, 2007 .

Here is a couple of good articles that I found on Daily Blog Tips with suggestions which should be helpful to those starting out.

The first article comes from DailyBits: "8 Bad Decisions When Starting a New Website"

While this article is keyed to websites in general it is valid in most cases for blogs, particularly points # 1,2,3,5,6,& 7. Some good advise here!

The second article is from Daily Blog Tips: "What’s Your Long-Term Blogging Strategy?"

Most of these suggestions are about content. While #5 might not be part of your reasons for blogging, the other points are important to consider and really are excellent advise for those starting out and good even for folks like me who have been around a while.

Those who have been in blogging for the long haul have all found it necessary to evaluate their goals and blogging strategy from time to time. It is really important to establish some ideas and reasons for blogging right from the start. Then develop a regimen and strategy that meets those goals.             *Top

    I haven’t left a comment in a long time, but I do appreciate your work here. Blogging is something that has really grown on me, but I found out how easily it is to stray from my original intent for blogging. You are so faithful to keep the rest of us up to speed w/the ins and outs of blogging and how to do it better. Thanks.
