102 ways to make your blog not suck

102 Ways to make your blog not suck by Solomon Rothman at Social Media Systems

I don't know if I agree with all of these, but they're good tips. Here are my favorites

10) Use spell check

22) Don’t overload the site with ads

94) Check facts; they’re online and easy to find.

95) Don’t blog pissed off; remember your words are permanent, so least attempt to calm down or be rational

Lastly (though not included on Solomon's list) remember why you're interested in blogging. And don't get too caught up in the advice the pundits throw out.

Driving along in Kirkland , home of the modern yuppie, I’m passed by a new Mercedes. Lovely, silver, shiny, new, bling-bling; a part of me loaded with insecurity twinges while I purr along in my Toyota. Why? How come this is a metric of my self-esteem? Am I being unfair to myself, being upset by this train of thought and it’s influence? Consider, please, how much this viewpoint is drilled into us. Look at how often this imagery gets pushed into our faces, and how long that’s been going on. It shouldn’t surprise me, really, that I sometimes feel this way. Though my conscious values oppose this, the lingering thread of this programming has threads into the depths psyche.

Pitfalls of distraction

With great ease, I get sucked into random distractions. This frustrates me no end. Actually, the worst past of the feeling isn't due to the lingering tasks. I end up feeling distracted, fragmented and worn; I hate that sensation. I love the feeling of moving forward, accomplishing goals with a direction and focus. Of course, I adore helping people, especially those I care about. The right balance, oh how I long for thee!
