Tuning your blog: From regular to ultimate in 7 steps

"Tuning your blog: From regular to ultimate" was the best title for series of posts that I could think of. If it is not clear enough or good enough, I'm sorry. Here's the full idea.

Zillions of photos, videos, blogs and more
(Some of them have to be good)

Says Technorati homepage. And they are right. There are zillions of bloggers and about two zillions of blogs, but only some of them are good. How do they become so good and known? I don't know. But I will try to find out.

This "Tuning your blog" series of posts will take care of several things about blogging that I consider very important. They might find these topics discussed at other blogs, but I want to give my point of view. Here are the things:

1. Make it attractive (published on may, 31) - Get a nice template for your blog or do it yourself if your skilled, organize your content, make it attractive, usable and even better, give it a flow.
   
2. Promote - Talk about your blog, share it with others, make it easy to subscribe, to give comments or to contact you. Each time your blog is mentioned somewhere, it is good for you.
   
3. Be a part of community - Get a feed reader, fill it with other blogs feed, subscribe to them, read their articles and give your comments, help your name to be known in community, be part of it.
   
4. Be a writer - Hold up, you need some kind of talent here. But if you had started your blog it means, that you want to do that and that is sometimes more important than talent. Improve your writing skills, read blogs that blog about professional blogging or writing and.. read books! Novells, dramas, poems by professional writers.
   
5. Count - Count visitors, pageviews, subscribers, posts, comments, referrers do anything to know your how your blog works, who is sending you traffic, how do you get subscribers and learn from it.
   
6. Do some link love - This is modern age, hypertext age, text is not enough, we need and we want links. And not even links, we need to see that love, people need to see that you are generous, willing to share and that you know that you can do better if you join your potential enemies instead of ruining them.
   
7. Repeat steps 1-6 - That is the magic successful blogging.
   

Each of topics in this series will have an article on in next few days/weeks. You can look forward to. Hope, that it will help. Stay tuned. Good luck, for now.
