This is a great post. Too bad you didn't post this a month ago. Very
helpful advice not just for newbies though, it's also a great reminder to everyone here.

mystic,
not quite sure what you mean...most bloggers write with their readers in mind, i.e., writing things that others would like to read...but they also write things they have a desire to write about. So it's a balancing act.

I found your blog advice interesting and informative. I do have one question, do you write to the blog audience or write to yourself?

Your points seem to be good ones. Lord knows that as a newbie, there are things I need to know. My lack of patience at times have led me to do plenty of foolish things so I will take your advice to heart. I'll also see about shortening up my posts. I have a tendency of writing a lot longer than I originally planned. So here's to sticking to the original plan.
Ciao for now
Matos

Quirkaroni - very good advice. You night mention stalking as a tool also--
worked for me. Also--making Ariala's pc go on the blink for a few days works.
Seriously--very good post about posts. BTW - I thought that little beer mug was a fist cause Wiley kept using it when he commented to Billy Cargo--you know how two guys butt fists?
I'm kind of an emoticon idiot.

I don't understand this one:
-- I mean, I know what it is but why would anyone put that in a comment? Also, I didn't know what
was for months--I thought it was an upside down hand, lol.
