Prepare backup posts for any unexpected events
Blogging When I first started Blogging Tips I got into a very good habit of writing 4 or 5 posts in advance and saving them as drafts for future use. This was very useful at times as when I was busy or had something planned for the day I simply set one of the draft posts to publish.

Blogger One method of helping new readers read more content from your blog is to add a “recent posts” widget to the sidebar. Blogger users can do this easily by adding a “feed widget” using the default feed URL (eg: http://yourblog.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default). However, this will only return the 5 most recent posts at most; Blogger doesn’t (yet) support the ability to display a greater number of entries. Many Blogger ...

Blogging You’ve just started your blog, and heard of some new phenomena called RSS. What’s it all about and how can you use it to benefit your blog?

Writing Writing on the web requires a different "language" than say writing for a magazine or newspaper. Great web content doesn’t just appear from nowhere. It is often the result of intricate studies of reader behavior, long hours slaved over writing the right copy and a thought process that follows the need of the reader. It all starts with the title. If the title isn’t attractive enough, nobody will likely take the time and read ...
