A blog is an on-line diary. So how can there be a “right” or “wrong” way of blogging? How can you make mistakes with your blog? There isn’t and usually, you can’t. Some expert bloggers have their own ideas of “dos” and “don’ts”, but a blog should be fun, or a place where you can “just let it all out”.
Friends and family are great, but sometimes you just want to get it all out without comment, advice or snide remarks. Which will NEVER happen with friends and family. They immediately think they have to help. They have to do something to make it all better.
But if you like to blog here are some points that are important to remember:
1. Never apologize. This is your blog, your personal thoughts. If you haven’t written for a while, who cares, most likely no one noticed anyway.
2. These are your thoughts, don’t just repeat what everyone else is saying. Each blog has a comment section, if you want to comment on someone’s thoughts, do it there.
3. Don’t write an essay. People are busy. It is better to write several short blogs than one long one.
4. Write like you are talking to actual people, because you are. Every person that reads your blog is a real live person.
Simple. Writing a blog isn’t rocket science. It is a fun social network where you can say what you think, comment on what other members say and meet new people with similar interests. Write as often or as little as you want. Some sites do not have any restrictions, so you can write anything you want.
