You'll find lots of advice online on how to blog. A lot of the stuff was written to get traffic and rehashes some basic standard advice, plus a little bit of basic search engine optimisation... This post from Problogger is pretty representative of a lot of what's out there. It's OK, I suppose, but doesn't take you that far. So it's worth reading round a bit - beyond the first page of results on Google for searches on blogging. There are lots of useful blogging tips online. Here's a few to start with:
- Web Designer Depot on how to blog effectively
- Camilla Chafer - freelance journalist/blogger on how to make your blog successful
- Ex-BBC head of blogging Robin Hamman on how to get started blogging
- Todd Sieling's Slow Blogging manifesto
- Roy Peter Clark's 25 non-random things about writing short
- Boing Boing having some fun with the ten worst types of blog posts - I talked about some of these in the presentation today
- Finally - some more general stuff - Journalism.co.uk on how to write for the web
