I came across two excellent posts recently which I think can be very helpful for anyone who owns a blog. Some aspects of these posts apply particularly to Wordpress blogs, but many points are far more universal.
It doesn’t take time to read these. They give some basic tips that:
- Are easy to remember
- Can be very useful
- Can help you a lot to generate more traffic and readers for your blog
Here are the posts:
23 Elements of Sharable Blog Posts
40 Most Wanted Wordpress Tricks and Hacks
I won’t waste a lot of time talking about these posts but let you read them. I have found quite a few points I could improve in my own blogs as well 
I hope you find this useful.
Hi Anna,
That’s a lot of tricks and hacks. My head’s spinning!
Some of the tricks/hacks I wanna try are:
Protection against hotlinking
The peel-away thingy
Stripe Ad..(It could look like a navigation bar thus generating clicks I think)
Highlighting admin’s comments
And A LOT more…
But sadly I have to do give it a closer look another day because as you can see, I’m way too busy spreading the word about our business. Hopefully business picks up so that I can set aside some time to trick out our company blog.
P.S.
And this comment is only about the tips/hacks. Catching my breath before I read the 23 elements of a great blog post.
I never fail to be amazed at the hints, tips and tricks people give away for free on their blogs, I am also really grateful to people who provide technical assistance in forums for free. These tips and hacks are great – i’ll look at using the custom front page and also highlighting author comment tips on my sites – thanks alot!
Tom´s last blog ..Herbal Fiberblend (colon and parasite cleanse and natural constipation relief)
Thanks Anna – I am using one of the tips to create an author bio box like you have on this site! I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Holly´s last blog ..How to Set Twitter on Autopilot & Profit
Thanks for your points but i have already implemented it and it giving me better results. Anyway thanks. I’m desperately awaiting your next post..
@Terry – I know what you mean. People shouldn’t try to drop everything to go and implement these. But perhaps scan for any answers to current problems, and otherwise save this as a reference for the future.
@Tom – Very glad you found something useful!
@Holly – Glad it could help! Some themes have this integrated, like this one, where you just need to fill in your bio in the user area. But for those that don’t, its good to have a hack
I’m a novice in blogging and I really want to improve myself in it. Your points have been very helpful to me. I’ll try to implement them one day at a time. Thanks a lot.
