What a fantastic list of tips! As far as stats and comments go, the only thing that seems to bring my stats up is being a participant on other blogs and in communities. Granted, I’m just a personal blogger (i.e. no real niche), but it really does help. I don’t comment just to comment though, I only comment when I have something to say, because I don’t feel like I’m being authentic otherwise. But building that community has been the key to my blogs growth.

Those are some wonderful tips, I’m not sure I could add any more to what has already been said except to be yourself. If you love to write, write what you know. If you love to take photographs than share them and share the reason you found beauty in a certain image – that is one thing I love about you, Dr. Cason, is that you always tell why you love something you took a photo of, even if it is something simple.

And I’ll second the part about paragraphs. I cannot read without a visual break here and there!

These are great tips Dr. Cason – and one I really feel is key – is writing from the heart. Those blogs that do – draw me back every time. As far as getting comments, I’ve found that you also have to be willing to give comments to others. And, for me, that becomes part of the connection building that goes on – and what makes this such an amazing journey…

Great post – I plan to copy and paste this for future reference, and some of the comments too.

And, in response to your post and other comments I’ve read, I changed my template on blogger so its not white on black. I think it looks better for the photos, but I also know it turns some people off.

Nikki- I find such comfort as well in creating something real, for me, for my family. I too find that once it’s down, I sometimes think that it was a bigger deal in my head than in my heart.

Vered- Hmmm SEO…There’s that word again! I’ll think about it.

Great tips. I don’t really have anything to add, except that I agree with Cath: I used to think SEO was a waste of time but it’s not. It’s important.

Also… stopping to blog and deleting one’s blog are two very different things. I think it makes sense for your reader, even if she decides to stop blogging, to take a break and think about it before doing soemthing as drastic as deleting.

Granted I like to look at my stats just as much as the next person I would still write if I had no readers at all (not much of a stretch ) I think for me writing helps me organize my thoughts and emotions. I find a lot of the time that after writing a post my thoughts aren’t actually what I thought they were.

The other big driving force for me is the idea of Danger having something to look back on when she is older. I’m not the typical baby book kind of gal but I want her to know how loved she is. I’m also hoping that when she is 23 and thinks her Mom couldn’t possibly understand what she’s going through that dammit I know, I was cool once.
