Here are some links to the best and the brightest blogging advice and my own two cents thrown in.

The Basics

Select a good useful topic, easily broadened to be useful to a large number of readers.

1. Prepare for your topic.

Gather a group of keywords you’d like to use in your topic area. Select 10 or 20 for your general topic area. Go to Google’s Keyword Tool which will give you an idea about the number of searches and competition for various key words and give your suggested related terms. A keyword tool that combines Google and Overture tools, and a newer resource called Keyword Discovery. When time allows also use one of these tools to focus in on a Keyword phase for each post. Review your statistics, how many people are reading what posts or topics.

2. A relevant engaging title
3. An appropriate photo, graphic, chart or drawing - a good idea when ever possible.
4. Use subheadings, lists and bullet points - more than 5 items or if ordered in priority use numbered lists
5. Link to relevant resources and use track back notifications, leave a comment on the posts you refer to and let the author know you did and why. If you used their post to expand on the topic maybe they will link back to you.
6. Edit, edit and edit again - generally shorter is better, interesting and active is essential.
7. Once they are engaged, welcome readers who post comments and post responses designed to continue the conversation.
8. With Apologies to Copyblogger
