“There are many blogging tips that concern certain technicalities of managing a blog platform. Today we are addressing one of the most basics aspects of running one of these sites. In fact what we are discussing here today plays the most significant role in the blog building process.

The ‘ritual’ of blog posting is sometimes undervalued and overlooked since it is one of the least technical aspects of blogging. This ‘ritual’ however sets the tempo of the site and is in fact what attracts or repels the blog reader. So what is it about our blog posting habits that attracts visitors and what can we do to maintain their interests?

Although there are many aspects involved in operating a successful blog platform here are the 3 most important components that need to be maintained. We will refer to them as the 3 C’s of blogging.”

“Any Blogger knows that blogging is a lot of fun. One of the main problems you will encounter as a Blogger is those days where you just can’t think of anything to post about. It happens to everybody, it’s happened to me before too. Luckily, there are ways around this, so I thought I would post my knowledge on the subject and hopefully help a few people out.”

“When you do a guest posts for blogs, you’re doing them a far greater service than they’re doing you. You should be appreciative for the opportunity, certainly, but really, who’s getting the better deal? I think the answer should be obvious.

Think about it: You’re giving them free content for the exchange of some exposure (often very little). If your guest post does well on StumleUpon or on Digg, or attracts large numbers of comments, it is guaranteed to be a huge boon for the blog publishing it. You, on the other hand, may only receive a tiny number of subscribers and a marginal number of click-troughs. That’s just the way it works.”

“I first began blogging a little less than three years ago and I have certainly come a long way in this field since that first post. At first, it was a passive hobby, something to satisfy my knack at web and graphic design while at the same time being able to express what I was learning. Yet now, I love the passion of writing and the excitement of encouraging and challenging others.

A very large portion of my audience here at Site Sketch 101 is composed of other like-minded bloggers. Many of you find yourself somewhere along that same journey that I have been taking. Many of you want to improve your abilities to influence others through your blog.

It is important to begin with content. Many other attributes of a blog, including design and marketing, are useless if you cannot provide your readers with quality entertaining, challenging, and informative articles. In fact, you may have the neatest design in the world, yet without great posts your readership will only be mediocre. Follow these guidelines to begin transforming the quality of your blog.”

“There are times when blogging can be tough and it feels like we have just run out of ideas for our blog posts or as a freelancer we sometimes think there’s nothing else to write about.  Where does the muse go when we are feeling like this, and how can we get it back?

The muse doesn’t go anywhere, we just have to find the spark that will ignite the muse back into action and keep us writing.  There is no need to ever run out of ideas for articles or blog posts, you could write 100 posts per day and still never run out of ideas.  However, if you ever feel like your head has been emptied and you have no more ideas left, just take a look at some of these tips and you will be sure to connect with your muse again.”
