5. Advice for new bloggers?
1. Write long posts and comments in a word processor first,
then copy & paste into your blog
2. Comment on other people’s blogs if you want comments back
3. Don’t be afraid to talk to yourself!
4. Use ‘tags’ and ‘categories’ to make your posts easier to find
in a search (‘metadata’)
5. When you get a good idea for a post, don’t put it off – start it
and save it as a draft to come back to later.
