Are good bloggers suffering from burnout or just losing interest in blogging?
Blogging In the last few weeks ive noticed a lot of blogs i subscribe to add less and less posts every week. This seems to be very common, particularly with blogs less than 6 months old. Perhaps this is a huge assumption on my part but it seems that a lot of good bloggers are either suffering from burnout from their posting routine or just losing interest in updating their blog on a regular basis (For the record, i know my posting frequency has reduced ...

Site News I have been thinking about video blogging the last month or so. Stephen Welton dropped my name when posting about an upcoming blog called Tutorial TV so i thought it was as good a time as any to ask you guys about it. Would you guys be interested in me making some videos for Blogging Tips? I’m not talking about a daily basis however it would be good to reply in person on some issues. I have to be completely honest about this though – ...

Blogging In the next few weeks or so i will be heading home to the UK after 7-8 months travelling. Currently my working routine is limited, short and very very irregular. Thankfully, when i get home i’ll be able to get back to my normal hours and get into my usual irregular routine. This got me thinking about my daily routine at the pc. Working on the internet allows me to fit my hobbies and pastimes around my work…or rather the other way ...

Blogging A few weeks ago i asked readers to try out AdGridWork. Unfortunately, i did not have the time to do it myself so i thought it was good to get readers to try it out for me and i would then in turn list the reviews on Blogging Tips. Only 2 BloggingTips readers decided to take part and due to AdGridWork taking part in that pointless Viralink campaign, searching for more reviews of the network was like finding a needle in a haystack. In brief, both ...

Blogging One of the main reasons i believe blogs are left to rot is posting frequency. It can be very difficult to juggle your personal life and still keep your blog updated as much as you would like. This is perhaps why it’s so common for blog posts to abruptly stop without any indication why. Posting frequency plays a big part in the success of a blog so it’s advisable to keep the posting frequncy at a steady rate. In practice, this can ...

Blogging Commentating is a big part of blogging, whether it be replying to comments on your own blog or on someone elses. I have spoken about commenting before in posts such as ‘Some ways to encourage visitors to comment‘ and ‘Commentating is like freakin catnip for blogs!‘. In this post i will show you how you can organise your comments much better. Most bloggers use the same email address for everything to do with their blog ...
Continue readingMovable Type is free again
Software & Programs I came across this post today which brought to my attention that Movable Type is now free again. I considered this platform a few years ago for a project but was reluctant to use it because it didn’t seem to be worth paying for. Perhaps i was wrong but i guess it doesn’t matter now because it is now free to download. Im perhaps a few weeks late with this news but im sure a few of you missed this as well. The announcement regarding ...
