    Best advice I think is to tell someone to hang in there and that I’m praying for them, because that person’s husband fell off from the roof of his house.

    Say whatever’s on your mind and not be afraid of your opinion.

    “I’m in” (says Graham as he rolls up his sleeves, cracks his knuckles and sharpens his pencil!), “Oh yes, I am definitely in!”

    My advice is simple….

    1) To have a truly successful personal blog, write from the heart. Be honest and write about things that truly matter to you…. things that will remind you of today when you look back on them in many years to come. Don’t write posts that are purely “traffic” seeking.

    2) Don’t sell yourself too Google Adsense. There is nothing wrong in using Adsense, but don’t saturate your blog page with Adsense advertisements… Your posts should always be the focal point.

    3) Always be polite and courteous. Respect peoples opinion, even if they are not the same as yours (and trust me, I am always right…lol!). A high proportion of the pleasure of blogging is the interaction with your readers and their blogs. If you are lucky enough, you will have the opportunity of meeting some amazing people on your journey (people like the lovely Zhu!).

    4) Enjoy yourself!

    That’s it from me! Have a great week x
