I wonder how many bloggers actually realize that. Well, there's a wide variety of readers who may come across one's blog but what's important is CONSISTENCY, as you mentioned. It'll make a good impression if you have it. -Costa Rica HQ It’s a very nice post. I wonder how many bloggers actually realize that.

I got stuck for awhile in planning what we wanted the goals and elements of our company blog to be (we make mobile reference software for libraries) that I couldn't come to a decision on how to get started. In the end it was just about picking a targeted area, thoughts and commentary on working with libraries, new technologies, etc. Things have started, everyone knows what they need to do to contribute and all is set up for success. Implementing these tips will make it even better. These are great tips, thank you!

You are sharing some valuable information however one thing I did not notice is "Commitment" I have seen many blogs with a "gone fishing" sign. Basically the person looses interest or they have not updated since 2003. I have a variety of blogs & I try to post at least twice a week. Having a blog simply to monetize is where (imho) people go wrong. Again thanks for sharing your info. The beauty of writing your own blog is you are the boss.

Very helpful. Just a few questions: On #2 on design. Can you give me some examples of blogs that have "simple" and/or "unique" designs? And I'd also love to know who you consider to be the outliers in the blogging world. Adam, Thanks for your post. Very helpful. Just a few questions: On #2 on design.
