#postaweek2011

I will be blogging my face off today and tomorrow.  I know I signed up to do a blog post a week in 2011 - and wow, today is the last day of this week.  Blogging regularly and consistently takes major commitment and dedication, no doubt.  Lord knows that life gets in the way sometimes ...  and I won't let that happen to me.  I can do this.  I can do it - #postaweek2011. 

Few tips I've picked up so far for my fellow blogging friends that might help:

1. Store up a queue of blog ideas and articles.  Write the post when you feel inspired, or when you have the time.  Save them if you don't want to post right away, it's ok.
2. Keep posts short and under 500 words.  No one wants to read a novel, regularly.  Readability is important.
3. Be real.  I get that blogging is great for self promotion and making one appear uber cool and all that - but at least for me, those are exactly the blogs that I avoid reading.  If you're not a professional writer and I'm following your blog - I want to get to know you (the real you).  ---> This opens up another post probably around how difficult it can be sometimes to put yourself out there for the world to judge...  It is difficult.
