Comments on: The 7 B’s to Effective Blogging http://www.thewritersmanifesto.com/blog/2007/10/24/effective-blogging/ freelance writing by a freelance writer that works in the freelance writing field Fri, 25 Jul 2008 17:43:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Monika http://www.thewritersmanifesto.com/blog/2007/10/24/effective-blogging/#comment-1053 Monika Wed, 31 Oct 2007 08:07:57 +0000 http://www.thewritersmanifesto.com/blog/2007/10/24/effective-blogging/#comment-1053 Hi Sumesh, its funny you mention this as I have seen a few bloggers commenting on the frequency of blogging lately and how it might be enough to blog maybe 3 times per week. As for getting on the radar, it does help by being a regular reader and commenting often. I have managed to get a couple of big boys attention like this and therefore it did work for me. But despite this, I agree 100% that content is what really matters, regardless of everything else! Thank you for telling me about my design. I'm not sure what browser you are using. I use firefox and it looks fine, all though when the page loads there is some funny line that briefly shows in the middle, but then disappears. You know what really sucks, when you pay for a template make over and then end up having to change things anyway! :-( Luckily I have the help of a really nice person right now who is helping me to get things better. It shouldn't take much longer. I really appreciate feedback like this you know, as it helps me to better my blog for you guys. ;-) Thank you Monika Hi Sumesh,

I agree with #1,2, having found it effective. However, I doubt #3 and #4. For example, how could you get to the radar of top bloggers? If you have excellent content, ok, but then, you'd get better even without such links. Also, the frequency has nothing to do - I've posted once in a week for a month, and 4times a week for 2 months. Readers come back, since the posts are not rehashed, but original tips/tricks and hacks. So, it comes down to whether you want them to read, or whether they'd want to read anxiously. I recommend finding which of those you belong to, and then making your frequency accordingly. You could do with a cleaner design. The current one has stripes all over, and distracts us from the content - which is BAD. Also, i usually disable images to load pages faster, and then your page headers dont show up coz they're white. Try something clean, white and focusing on content - just my 2 cents... Just a couple of things, Monika.
