Meme-Tagged: 10 Blogging Tips

James over at Big Dumb Object has tagged me with the Blogging Tips meme that's doing the rounds... let's see... I have to copy and past such-and-such then add a thingummy... okay:

-Start Copy-

It's very simple. When this is passed on to you, copy the whole thing, skim the list and put a * star beside those that you like. (Check out especially the * starred ones.)

Add the next number (1. 2. 3. 4. 5., etc.) and write your own blogging tip for other bloggers. Try to make your tip general.

After that, tag 10 other people. Link love some friends!

Just think- if 10 people start this, the 10 people pass it onto another 10 people, you have 100 links already!

1. Look, read, and learn. ****

2. Be, EXCELLENT to each other. ******

3. Don't let money change ya! ***

4. Always reply to your comments. ****

5. Link liberally -- it keeps you and your friends afloat in the Sea of Technorati. ***

6. Don't give up - persistance is fertile. **

7. Give link credit where credit is due.**

8. Follow your own path. Do anything you want to, it's your blog. *

9. Don't put off until tomorrow what you can blog today. Backlogs are the primary cause of Bloggers' Block.

-End Copy-

My own addition may give you an idea of my current state of mind, vis-a-vis blogging... :(

Now then, ten people to tag in turn? Right then:

Joe Gordon
George Walkley
Iain Emsley
Andrew Wheeler
Niall Harrison
Brian Ruckley
Mark Chadbourn
Mark Morris
Philip Palmer
Steve Wilson

Go to it, chaps!

[Edit 26.07.07] Andrew Wheeler quite rightly points out that this sort of exercise is a blatant bit of self-promotion on the part of the original blogger and is tantamount to chain-letter spam, which is perfectly true. But then, he still joined in... ;)

Hopefully I haven't lost whatever credibility I might have had in Andrew's eyes as a result. And hey, just for the record, if it hadn't been something vaguely useful, like actual blogging tips, then I'd most probably have ignored it as well... before anyone tags me with anything too similar.

Cheers Grace - now all I need to do is find a way to follow my own advice on a regular basis and I'll be fine... :|
