Blast From the Past Week

Posted on March 17th in Blogging — 3 Comments so far. Got something to say?

This week I’m going to really busy, and the time I do get aside from priorities can not be spent on my blog. Clients paying for my time come in above readers, sorry. To keep something fresh up this week, I’m going to bring up some older posts a couple days this week.

Odds are you haven’t seen these posts, unless you’ve been reading for a while now. Normally I wouldn’t do this, but I’ve considerred quite a few things.

First, not many people hit the archives like we would like them to. I have some stuff buried in there and the only way a new reader will find this content is if I point.
It’s good content. There was a span in the summer when I was posting nearly everyday, if not twice. It was quite an inspired time.
I won’t just link off and leave you hanging. I’ll throw in some writer commentary free of charge and give you something to read, even if you don’t like archive diving.

So without further explanation, here is today’s batch. Today will focus on blog improvement.

101 Ways to Improve Your Blog

In this post I went through 101 (really 100 with one repeated) ways to improve your blog. Admittedly, I am no linkbait expert having limited social media exposure in my time, and though this failed in that regard, I think it was still a good post.

Even after looking back, there are some things in there I should start doing. You would think you could pop off 100 ways to do something different with relative ease, but that post took a while to write. You should try and see how it turns out. Who knows, you might get the big exposure I never got with that article.

12 Things to do to Your Brand New Blog

This was a post stemming from an email I received from a new blogger (didn’t last very long). I decided it made for a good post on how to get going in the right direction.

This is another article where I go and read back what I had written months ago and not only continue to agree, but make a personal note to put some of these things to action some day. Sometimes the solutions to your problems can be right under your nose.

Better Your Blog in a Week: #6

This was the next to last part in a 7 day series chronicling 7 ways you can improve your blog. The post, detailing tweaking your site’s design was the most popular of the series. Every now and then StumbleUpon throws some traffic my way, and this post still gets hits from SU today.

I’m considering doing another series of that nature, or at least another series of some sort. Whether it be a weekly thing with posts in between or a daily thing as in the past, it’s a place I’d like to revisit.

On Wednesday (I’m trying to lock into a Mon/Wed/Fri posting schedule, even though it is late Monday now) I’m going to venture design related things. These posts were never hugely popular but are useful and still get some nice Google attention.
