My best blogging advice is not to worry.
Do what you enjoy and have fun blogging.
Even if you’re VERY strange, you’ll find
like-minded people (or other interesting
weebles) with whom you’ll want to be friends.

What is my best blogging advice?
well, every new blogger always ask question on how they their site can gain more visitors..
I always tell them to write their own content avoid copying and pasting other’s post.. posting interesting topic can make your readers more interested in reading your blog everyday.. I also suggest them to make their site user-friendly.. easy to read and navigate that’s what other bloggers want and also categorizing each post can also help their site when it comes to navigation..
very unusual answer right?.. well, ‘coz I think that’s the next step that they need to do in order to gain more visitors..

Giving advice to other bloggers or would be bloggers about how to manage their sites would have to be solicited, as I would not venture to offer any unless it was being requested. The intention or objective of he site owners can be fully known only to themselves, until they make a disclosure in their posts or sidebars.

Thus, my first advice is on giving advice: Be careful and be updated.

If I were asked how to go about blogging, this is what I’d say:

a) Respect Your Readers – be truthful about what you write; make sure your thoughts are well organized and logically flows throughout the post. Edit your post before publishing for grammar, syntax, spelling, facts, and punctuation marks. Avoid using profanities and slang. Write with feeling and empathy,choosing words that would aptly describe these without sounding so pretentious.

b) Be Open to those that Post a Comment – Welcome other bloggers’ opinions and ideas even if they contradict with yours. Agree to disagree without being disagreeable. There is no sense in generating opinions if all you want are praises for what you have written or photos you have posted. Most people base their opinions on what they have experienced or accepted as their beliefs or values. Respect these too, since chances are, your experiences are different from theirs. Allow them to express their perspectives.

c) Be Caring and Kind to other Bloggers – When posting a comment on other bloggers’ sites, consider the feelings behind the post. Focus on what in your own perspective is good about it and comment on that. You may also venture to comment on what the feeling of the author is in writing the post, but qualify that this is just how it dawns on you. Be gentle with criticism or disagreements, write it as a suggestion for improvement. Be generous with praise but don’t overdo it as it may sound contrived.

d) Reciprocate – When bloggers post a comment, acknowledge and respond, if possible, before you write the next post. Then, go to that blogger’s site and post a comment too. Try to build an open line of communication. Reciprocity is also respect for those that read your posts and make a comment. Avoid unthinking comments like “great blog”, “Way to go”, or “Let’s exchange links” pleeeeeease!!

e) Treat Every Blogger as an Equal – There is no place for discrimination in the blogosphere. There are things each one of us can do better than anybody else, regardless of what it might be; and there are things others can do better than yourself. There are things you know that others don’t; and there are things others know that you don’t. So it does not make you better than they are, nor are they better than you. That makes us all equal.

I think I’ve said enough Zhu. I hope this helps. –Durano, done!
