Blogging Tips Meme

Lovely Stephanie at Stephanie's Confessions of a Book-a-holic tagged me with a meme I hadn't seen before, and which is a lot of fun--the Blogging Tips Meme. I don't really feel I'm qualified to give blogging tips, but I must say I feel I am learning so much from other bloggers, and that's what's fun about this meme.

So here are some helpful tips from a bunch of great bloggers:

-Start Copy-


It’s very simple. When this is passed on to you, copy the whole thing, skim the list and put a * star beside those that you like. (Check out especially the * starred ones.)


Add the next number (1. 2. 3. 4. 5., etc.) and write your own blogging tip for other bloggers. Try to make your tip general.


After that, tag 10 other people. Link love some friends!


Just think- if 10 people start this, the 10 people pass it onto another 10 people, you have 100 links already!


1. Look, read, and learn. **-http://www.neonscent.com/

2. Be, EXCELLENT to each other. **-http://www.bushmackel.com/

3. Don’t let money change ya! *-http://www.therandomforest.info/

4. Always reply to your comments. *****-http://chattiekat.com/

5. Link liberally — it keeps you and your friends afloat in the Sea of Technorati. **-http://chipsquips.com/

6. Don’t give up - persistence is fertile. *-http://www.velcro-city.co.uk/

7. Give link credit where credit is due. ***-http://www.sfsignal.com/

8. Pictures say a thousand words and can usually add to any post.*-http://scifichick.com/

9. Visit all the bloggers that leave comments for you - it's nice to know who is reading! *-http://stephaniesbooks.blogspot.com/

10. When commenting on others’ blogs, a few kind words go a long way. –http://shelflifeblog.blogspot.com/



-End Copy-


Now I'm supposed to pass along some of the link love, and tag 10 more bloggers. I'm not tagging some of my fabulous blogging friends because I saw that you've already been tagged. But of course for those I am tagging, if you've already been tagged, or don't have time to play, no worries.

What fun! And nice tips - like the ten commandments of blogging! Thou shalt love thy blogging neighbours and it's nice to say so every once in a while, etc.

Thanks for participating! Your tip was great. The full list of blog tips are here: http://neonscent.com/blog/2007/07/19/blogging-tips-web-meme/
P.S. You should turn the links into actual links so they are clickable. This adds exposure to you and the other participants!

Gentle Reader said...

Thanks for tagging me. I'm still lagging behind, so I might give this particular meme a pass. I'll let you know, if and when I get to it. I love being tagged. I'm just a bit of a party pooper, right now. :)
