More "About How To Blog" - From Me! Who Knows!

The trick on how to blog is this: go around, then see how other people blog. Do you get it? Are you getting it? If not, try commenting for a while. You'll get the hang of that pretty soon, pretty easy. So then, you cross-breed the two! Start with the commenting. Then, use that for ideas! You might be saying something hilarious on somebody else's comment queue. Well, screw their comment queue! Take that hilarious observation and blog that shit up!

That's one way.

You can leave the hilarious idea on their comments also. You don't have to worry about that - it's still your words right? Nobody reads their blog. Worry about yours, not theirs - nobody's going to call you on it, even if you post the same exact thing in like, ten places. Nobody's that obsessed - like they'd notice!

Another way is, go into your old e-mails and stuff, any amusing digressions or tangents you have? That might be expanded into full-blown posts? Copy-paste those suckers. Aw, yeah. That'll turn into a full-blown post someday! Just, you know, blow on it. From time to time. And watch for when it gets to be full-blown! Because you do not want to end up with an overblown blog post. Take it from one who's been there. Who's been there all the time.

How else to blog. Let's see. Ooh, another good one is, write some posts giving people tips on how to blog! That's easy, and people will listen! This way, you get to help people, which is in itself a sort of reward. You should be able to squeeze another five posts out of that easy.

And that's about how to blog. Until next time!

Oh man. I really, REALLY want you to write "Joe's Tips On How To Blog". Please do that. That would be the most enlightening thing I think I ever read. For real. :)

You're in luck, VA! Beginning with last week's Five F's of Blogging, I'm making an effort each Tuesday to focus on blog issues, blog tips, blog advice (giving or trying to get).

Some "bloggy Tuesday" posts will be in the "About How To Blog" format, others will branch out a bit. Next week's post will focus on AdSense!
