- A blogger does not have to post everyday. If journalistic blogging is your profession, then yes, you should find newsworthy information to write about everyday. If you casually blog as a hobby however, as do most college students, the blog does not need to be updated daily. Quality over Quantity!
- Posts should include links, pictures, videos, etc. Most readers have short attention spans, so making your blog visually appealing will keep the readers' interest.
- Personalize your blog. Make your page a reflection of yourself, your interests, and let your personality shine through.
- Advertise your blog. The only way to get people to read and become interested in your blog is to market it. For example, ink your personal blog to your Twitter, Facebook, Myspace page and let your friends know when you write a new post.
