Use meaningful slangs

One of the first tips I caught during my first few days into blogging was how meaning slangs inserted into your blog can make you connect to your reader personally. so whether its a 'damn' of dissapointment or a 'hurrah' of happiness, the reader will see you are a human being and not a robot without emotions. peterkennedy05.blogspot.com

Read twice, post once

Like in carpentry, measure twice, cut once. Read everything at least twice, especially direction on how to do things!

My Most Important Tip

Before you hit the “Publish” button, take time to read your post – aloud. Your ears wince at mistakes that your eyes overlook. Get in the habit of doing this, and your blogs will be outstanding in a sea of mediocre. Remember, when the very best writers are reading -- their lips are moving. mcmerb2homeblog.wordpress.com

saving money on apparel & decorating

I absolutely love to shop but I don't want to pay a fortune for my clothes. I frequent about 2 stores that I consistently get coupons and discounts from. I have been known to get pants and shirts for as little as $3.00. For home furnishings and decorating, reusing what you have with a can of paint can work miracles on an old piece of furniture. As a person with a decent income, but putting children through college, I need to find ways to save money. I just can see paying more for an item that you could find for less.

Comments Go a Long Way

I believe that comments on your own blog as well as other blogs will promote you more than just sitting around and typing. You want to connect with others -- so visit other blogs to comment on their blog -- or even write a post extending what the topic was from their post to your blog. People keep track of who visits.. and they will probably check out your blog to see what you have to say. And exchange links. You may end up getting additional readers this way.

The Power of Commenting

Hi Susan, thanks for your article. One of the high yield activities that I recommend for all new bloggers is to invest 30 minutes each day to read prominent blogs on their topic and leave insightful comments. Insightful comments can draw qualified traffic, establish relationships, and increase your overall visibility. Depending upon the way links are structured in the blogs you comment on, commenting could also improve the SEO of your blog. As you can see, there are too many advantages of commenting for you to miss out on the opportunity.

Have something original to say!

Sometimes when I read blogs it seems that thinking is dead. Writers are trying to be clever by putting others down, being caustic or being judgemental. How about trying to be original and having an interesting opinion? In my blog, at www.blogeclectic.com, I have worked hard to do this. Sure, I have commented on events and developments, but not with shallow rebuttal that requires no thought. Get your readers thinking and present intelligent and alternative points of view. That's the best way to create interesting posts and have people return.

Best Tip I Ever Got fro Blogging

Tip- Write good titles that catch peoples interest. Basically take your time writing a title because it is very important. A lot of people will read your post just because you have a catchy title but more important they may not read it at all if you have a boring title.
