Joe,

You’re very welcome. I’m sure you’ll find some use out of the links within the article. I certainly did.

My biggest mistake was making 100 of sites without knowing how much time it will take to maintain them. Now I work all day updating as much as I can, I have my employees working on SEO, because I simply don't have any time to build links. I think the biggest blog mistake is to own many blogs, and under estimate them, because at the end you will be canceling domains which is just like throwing your cash away. <em>Vlad's last blog post...<a href="http://www.megan-fox.mobi/megan-fox-business-modeliphone-3g-on-the-streets/" rel="nofollow">Megan Fox Business Model/Iphone 3G on the Streets!</a></em> I own about 100 blogs, and that was my biggest mistake.

(I'm standing and cheering over this one). As you can see by the website, I still have a lot to learn. I've been around the block more than once and think that I have a lot of information stored in this head of mine that would benefit a lot of people. However, getting it from between the ears to the internet is what's troubling me most, or maybe I should say, the understanding of the mechanics of it. So as I stumble along, I'll have your comments pinned over my computer for reference. <em>John Shriver's last blog post...<a href="http://scribe1944.blogspot.com/2008/06/america-in-trouble.html" rel="nofollow">America in trouble</a></em> Bravo!!

Rita,

Have you tried StumbleUpon? If you’re interested purely in pictures / photography etc., it’s an excellent source of inspiration.

Several of the blogs I have read appear to go one of three directions: 1) Rambling thoughts of the writer about their personal life, home, family, etc., 2) An avenue for someone to place a rant and thus instigate postings from other ranters or opposition to a point of view - I personally HATE these and wish they wouldn't take up band width - 3) As a "web site" for a professional or company who likes the layout of what is usually used as a blog but has converted everything into a website. For me, I don't personally care if anyone EVER comments on my blog. I have records to show how frequently it is "hit", what people are searching for as queries to land on the blog and thus read what I've posted. I see people are consulting the blog for the most interesting of reasons and frequently they DO click out to my main website (SITUSeattle.com or CostumingInSeattle.com ) for additional information or photos. I prefer to look at blogs that have lots of pictures. I don't have a lot of time to surf the web on private time, so I want info, pix, quick run-down/411 on what I'm reading. Maybe that's just me. I'm heading over next to the article about writing headlines. I'm always amazed how many times my own headlines are showing up in Googles searches. Guess they like what I write or it's easy to find. Not sure about this. Anyone have thoughts? Rita About the time committment thing - I tend to agree.

I usually don't name blog posts until I'm done putting them together. That way I know that the title sums up the post. <em>Rob's last blog post...<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ivman/~3/315772951/" rel="nofollow">senior personals</a></em> I especially like your 5th point about the title of the article.
