Hi All - I have a question. When you compare your early days of blogging to what you are today - Is there anything that you wish, you hadn’t done?
I started blogging just an year back and today when i look back, there are certain things that i wish i shouldn’t have done. I won’t call them mistakes - but rather “Experiences”, because those are the things that taught me a lesson or two.
1 - I should’ve selected the template with care.
I was looking for free blogger templates and as…
The best thing I ever did to improve my technorati rank on Facibus On Blogging was to enter a writing competition. I know that most of the links are just reciprocal “spreading the love” swaps, but I have more RSS subscribers as a result, and more traffic through to my other blogs.

Blogging should never feel like hard work!
John Chow talks about how hard it can be to get recognition as a new blogger.

It seems appropriate that my first post on Blogging Tips should be about guest blogging.
My friend Steve Collins has a fairly well rated blog. Not to take…
I know, I know….another freaking post in the site news category!! 
Ive had a lot of reviews of BloggingTips in the last week and the main criticism has been about the design. I hate the sidebars as much as you guys haha. There have been other criticisms as well however im happy to say most comments have been constructive. I must admit i find it funny that people are only bringing up the fact the sidebar doesnt display properly in older browsers after i posted about it myself and let…
