I followed you from your post on Sorta Crunchy’s Babes in Toyland post with, I must admit, some wonder on why so many people comment on her amazing post but so few on my original one. Thanks to this checklist of dos and don’ts I am now clear on all my shortcomings as a blogger! As a blogger who mostly blogs for me (a journal to chronicle life) about me and mine (a journal is after all about you!) I see the value of posting in such a way that it engages others. I might just try a few of these tips…thanks for sharing!!

All I have to say is I read your blog EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

The end.

Rules make blogs boring. Yours is just perfect the way it is!

I love reading your blog and Seth Godin’s and Michael Hyatt’s, etc… if they were all identically designed why should there be more than one!

Love your final line!

I care about you. If you stop blogging about you, I’ll be ever so sad.

Eh. I’m a pretty lousy blogger, too, according to these standards. It’s still pretty much a lot of fun for me though. So apologies all around for the lousiness!

I don’t think you should listen to that guy. I like your blog and read it everyday. So- you must be doing something right!!! Love you!

I’m exempt. Shwew.

I am finding length to be more and more important as I read more and more blogs. I love the whole story, but I think I need it in 500 word installments.

Well, he wouldn’t like me and that is just fine! By the way, I am here to hear about YOU! Why would I visit your blog if I didn’t want an update on your life? That’s silly!!

I think the last two mistakes: being off-brand and writing only about yourself are the most critical to developing a blog following… if that’s the goal. I’m working on those slowly, but I’m definitely in a transition period. I started out writing about being the mother of a child with special needs. Since she passed away a year ago, I’ve been casting around for what do with the blog now that I’m no longer that kind of mom. This year I’ve been writing a lot about grief and wrestling with God, but at some point I pray that stops dominating my life and then I have to find some new “brand.” I’m just not sure what that is yet!
