Sports Blogging and becoming a better Blogger
Blogging Sports blogging (I run a football (soccer) blog, in case you’re interested) is a difficult business – being opinionated can work against you, you get thrashed from all ends and the people who like what you do rarely speak up (mainly because the people you’re pissing off – you’ll always piss people off – are so vocal they drown everything else out). In some ways I’ve found sports blogging to be the litmus ...

Blogging Hello all, I am Chris and I am a new blogger here. You might have seen it mentioned recently that I am going to be joining this blog. As well as this blog you can find my articles on a variety of sites such as my own blog about blogging and online marketing, posts about writing at copyblogger, and web2.0 and productivity at Codswallop.

Video Blogging A decision that all video bloggers need to wrestle with is how to host their videos. Conventional branding wisdom would dictate that you host them yourself. On the other hand, viral marketing doctrine suggests that you upload your content to as many channels as possible. With about a dozen decent alternatives to YouTube, however, deciding how to host you video content can be tough. At the end of the day, video bloggers should strike a healthy ...

Blogging, Making Money I work as a journalist, a music critic, a copywriter, an event planner, a travel writer, a teen magazine writer, and a professional blogger. Believe me when I say there is no better writing gig than getting paid to blog. I can use an informal, personal style. I can crack jokes. And most of my blog editors (including Kevin; thanks, Kevin!) give me a tremendous amount of freedom when it comes to choosing topics and crafting a “voice.” As ...

Writing WRITE SEARCH ENGINE HEADLINES SHORT AND TO THE POINT When a spider crawls on your blog pages looking for content, it is looking for specific keywords in your headings and sub-headings that web surfers use most often. Title length should have no more than 85 characters in all, and when you do put your keywords in the title, you have to make sure that the headline still stays dynamic and attractive to the reader. Because the search engine readers ...

Around The Blogosphere One of my favourite blogs, North X East, is up for sale at SitePoint. The auction started off very low so I placed some bids myself but the auction price quickly went higher and higher (and rightfully so).

Writing There was a fantastic post on Daily Blog Tips last week entitled ‘Are You Prepared for a Blogging Emergency?‘. The irony is the post was published on a day I had a bit of a blogging emergency, not a major one but one which definately caught me off guard. As you guys know, BloggingTips has brought in a lot of full time writers in the last month. Due to the number of people writing for the blog I have had to set times and days for ...

Blogging Selecting a domain name is pretty confusing these days isn’t it? Seen those options thrown out to you while regsitering a domain at godaddy? They give you 101 additional options to chose from apart from your primary selection. Many end up buying what they really don’t need. Selecting a domain itself is tedious, when all the hot-shot domain names are already taken and you have to compromise with all those weird combination domains. ...
