Kim from Bold. Blue. Adventure. has started a blogging tips meme – she’s started a list of great blogging tips and has challenged other bloggers to generate some more – so here are a couple from me:

Spell check your posts

Before you hit publish make sure you re-read your posts to check for spelling mistakes or typos. Browsers like Firefox or Flock are great as they will point out your mistakes by underlining words in red.

Promote your RSS feed

There are so many blogs out there in the big wide Internet that its hard to keep up with them – so help your readers by making it easy for them to subscribe to your RSS feed. You can find out more about RSS here.

Incy Wincy Spider

The large majority of my visitors find my site via Google – I use a Wordpress plug in called All in One SEO Pack to optimise my posts for those Google spiders.

Encourage comments

The best thing about blogging is meeting new people and interacting with your readers. Encourage people to comment on your posts, start a conversation with them, head over and visit their sites and leave them a comment. Make your readers welcome and they’ll come back to visit you often.

Well that was more than a couple in the end! Do you have any great blog tips? Leave me a message in the comments below to share your secrets – and be sure to visit Kim and let her know too
