What Are Your Blogging Tips?

Tomorrow night I'm speaking at the first in a series of creative writing workshops for teens. The topic I'm speaking about is blogging, and while I've created several handouts about blogging best practices for teens, I thought it would be fun to create a sheet with tips from other people who also blog.

To participate, please leave a comment below with your number one tip for blogging. I will include the best ones along with your name, a link to your blog and Twitter handle if you leave the information in the comment section.

Thanks!

I just posted a quick post on some blogging tips for people who are unfamiliar with this little world http://www.eatsloveandhappiness.com/2011/02/blogging-for-dummies.html.

But I think my #1 tip would be to comment on other blogs. Commenting not only drives traffic to your blog, but it creates conversation and forces you to explore other blogs regularly. My blogging has changes dramatically from interacting on other blogs. (A little thing I've noticed, too, is that if you are one of the first few to comment on your blog, your site visits increase).
