I agree, when we do something we like, we often shine, and with blogging it's seen in our articles. Don't you agree, readers can sense that? Hi Laura,

That is great advice. I agree, when we do something we like, we often shine, and with blogging it’s seen in our articles. Don’t you agree, readers can sense that?

If you want to start blogging you must know your objective in creating a blog, is it monetary or just a place to express your self and share information. And what ever reason you have for blogging make sure that readers would love reading it, it is something useful and interesting. One more thing don't be intimidated because your new to blogging or your blog is new, it doesn't matter as long as you enjoy what you are doing and your giving what your target audience needs then everything is fine. Happy blogging... I can consider my self an internet addict and being online almost everyday I can say that blogging is really a big hit.

It's something I try to "weigh out", however, I don't get too hung up on keywords...maybe I should. My post for tomorrow lacks a catchy title, mainly due to it's content. It's more of a "lesson" title. Stats are great for finding out how people search. If you use <a href="<a href="http://www.hittail.com/" target ="_blank" rel="nofollow">"HitTail",</a> they categorize all of that for you in a neat report. I got your email from StumbleUpon, however, haven't had the time to check into that. Commenting is something lots of people don't feel comfortable doing, however, if they have a blog, by commenting on other blogs, they will definitely see an increase in their readership. In the beginning I didn't comment, mainly due to time restraints, but as I began to feel more comfortable blogging, I made time to start leaving comments. I still find myself visiting blogs, but not leaving a comment if I am tired, not feeling creative, or am in the middle of researching for a future post. Even if my readers don't feel inclined to leave a comment, I'm just happy they are visiting my blog, and hopefully are able to walk away with some useful information. Doesn't that time poststamp work great? Tomorrow's post takes that one step further. Hello Catherine,

But, as you say, you have seconds to catch people's attention when they're using a reader. I'm finding it useful to go through my stats and try to figure out which titles attract more people. As for stumbleupon - I've tried to rejoin as things went wrong the first time, and hopefully I have invited you to join - if I've done it properly; and also Ian. Ian's point is interesting. Apparently, only a small percentage of bloggers actually comment and join in the conversation. I wonder what would need to happen to make this figure increase? And I wonder what the new blogs will be like once they evolve? Hopefully not too technically challenging for me! By the way Barbara - I tried your tip on delaying a post to a certain time this morning and it worked. Hi Barbara – It’s tough to think of good titles isn’t it?

Welcome to my site :) Thank you for sharing your opinions for those who may not yet have a blog, or are new to blogging. I think new bloggers need all of the encouragement we can provide. BTW: Your blog is amazing. I never envisioned that I would be looking at photos of Kuwait, by someone who is living there. You have a great opportunity to teach us that which we will never see in the media. For some reason, the "closer to heaven" photo moved me to leave a comment before exiting your site...don't know if it was the photo or the name. But, whatever it was, I'm happy to meet you. I'm sure we will be seeing more of each other in cyberspace. :D Hello Nicole,
