My Blogging Mistake(s)

I am a relatively late entrant to this blogging revolution. This is my first blog and I started sometime in the 3rd quarter 2006. As soon as I heard about it, I immediately went ahead and got my own sub-domain in Blogger. In those initial days, I really didn't know what to write, and I started inserted pictures and videos in my blog. But nowadays, writing about a topic is not at all a problem for me.

Coming to the main topic, I have my own share of blogging mistakes. The most important one that I could think of, is not commenting enough on other people's blogs. I do make a comment, but usually its in the ratio of 1:100. I guess I am a consumer of news mostly. But lately, I wanted to change all that, and I started commenting on other people's blog. I have started commenting on a few and slowly I am growing my daily numbers now. Some other mistakes are not branding your blog by having your own domain, not running spell checks before pushing that button etc. I guess its a learning process, and hopefully things should improve in the future.

Commenting on other blogs makes you part of the conversation, it is fun and it can bring you loyal readers or even friends.

I have to agree with you. However, it seems to be a universal mistake. I think very few people take the time to leave a comment.

That's very true.

You're right. I just learned this lesson recently and have been making an effort to comment more.

I have opinions too, after all! :)
