I met with someone this afternoon and was trying to explain the whole blogging thing. I don't know whether I succeeded. Here are 12 tips for how to be a good blogger:
1 If it is not up to date it isn't a blog.
2 Remember, people believe you.
3 Blogging is performance, not real life. (But no-one who reads it remembers that).
4 You have to read some before you can write some.
5 There are communities surrounding bloggers – bloggers generate penumbrae.
6 Write for people you know and people you don't will get to know you.
7 Control, don't be controlled by what comes up in google about you
8 If it takes more than 10 minutes a day, you have lost the plot.
10 There is nothing more powerful on the earth than ideas. Content is still king.
11 Sassy is as sassy does
12 Remember, it is a very lop-sided dialogue but a dialogue all the same.
