Blogging Tips, Traps and Tales

1. Blogging software is easy and fast to use. Users can create and publish posts very quickly.
2. Updates appear at the top of the page, whereas if you update your Web site, visitors don't necessarily know what content was updated when.
3. Posts don't have to be long articles. You can add brief, frequent entries.
4. Blogs take on a personal, friendly style. It's a conversational, not institutional, medium.
5. Heavy use of links.
6. People can subscribe so updates are delivered to them, rather than them having to visit your site to search for updates on their own.

Leroux Miller recommended RSS as a good way to subscribe to and manage blogs. RSS readers serve as central locations for all the blog posts.
