I spend a lot of time traveling the blogosphere, meeting other bloggers, reading posts and I guess you could say monitoring the competition. There is a lot of reasons I do this, the biggest of course being networking, which is important and vital to the success of you and your blog.
As part of my regular rounds I stopped off to see what Darren was up to the other day and he had written a short post titled Your First 10,000 Blog Posts are Always the Worst, which briefly touched on…
