Thanks for a very informative post. But as Jerry writes above I, too, would love to know “where I can put the needed tags into the template”

A really useful article and a really good website.

I’m new to blogging and there is SO MUCH to learn if you want to do it properly. I’ve started a blog & I’m trying to lay out all the steps required while at the same monitoring the progress in terms of site views and traffic.

I’ll certainly follow the good advice here.

Thanks, Nigel

Hi Lee
Thanks for such a comprehensive article on blogging. I can see holes in my game plan based on the steps you have outlined. There is clearly more to this than just posting articles and hoping to get traffic
Thanks
Steve

Great info, though I think only the socializing is really necessary (and having great content!)

Lee,

I initially started my blog to learn about blogging and SEO. Later I found a passion for social media which has led to the majority of my content. Through the guidance of some experts I now use my blog as an outlet for my own person knowledge that I’ve learned. As with any blog or social media tool putting your readers and followers ahead of yourself is key to your success.

Hits the nail right on! Education through the bloggin experience is whaat people want to read. Not to be SOLD. we have found through educating our clients and sharing what we know as an internet marketing firm, that we have a constant pipeline of referrals.

Why? Simply because we take the time to share, educate and link to solid resources such as this blog to help them understand that we are not the only ones explaining how important blogging and SEO really is to their company.

Thanks Lee!

Socializing is very important. My rule (which I’m practicing now) is to spend as much time on other people’s blogs as I do my own. Thus if I spend 10 minutes typing a blog post, then I need to spend 10 minutes reading and commenting on others.

To follow up on earlier comments, I think companies are becoming more and more willing to jump into the social media discussion without specific ROI tracking abilities. They know they need to be part of the discussion and are willing to jump in without a fully thoughtout plan (even though that would be preferrable). It is up to the PR professional to show how a blog can work and what it takes to make the blog work. Even for business blogs, communication must be a two-way street. Companies hae to get out there an engage their customers.

I just started a blog to try and lead customers to my outdoor games website. The tips are great. I am not very familiar with WordPress yet. I was hoping to find answer to where I can put the needed tags into the template.

Nicely thought out article Lee.

As a proof in point about your comments on using social media to promote your blog, I actually found this post through someone I was following on Twitter.

You seem to always have something good to share, Lee. This is no exception.

I was given a tour of Techrigy a couple of weeks ago and am extremely impressed.
