Blog guidelines to success

After reading about the top ten mistakes that bloggers make, I found most of the information to be common sense after reviewing so many different blogs. For instance, I found it fairly obvious that in order to gather attention and be remembered, a photo is necessary. I also think that irregular blogging frequency affects the credibility of a blog. It reminds me of a news channel that only reports when there is news. That would not happen, and it would not appear as reliable. It seems that mixing topics would not be sensible unless it was the foundation of the blog. And it certainly stands to reason that all information posted to a blog should be filtered in order to ensure that it would not negatively affect one’s professional future.

I did not realize the importance of picking a catchy and proper headline for each entry. It definitely seems necessary when I consider what I choose to read in a blog. I can also see how linking should relate directly to the topic and be clear. In addition, I would agree that linking within a blog really creates a structure and increases validity. Calendars are a good way to add structure, but should not be used as a navigating tool. Lastly, I was unaware of the importance in choosing a home for one’s blog. I will certainly review the options in the future.

Overall, I believe that all of these tips will become instrumental in setting up the structure of my restaurant blog. They will help me in creating my blog and creating boundaries to adhere to during this process. It is a checklist to follow.
