Stumble into the Weekend 11/09

Have you read any good blog posts this week? I have, and now that the weekend is approaching, I’ll tell you which were my favorites. Each one of them received a friendly stumble from yours truly. So, let’s start.

Court’s 11 Unescapable Steps To WordPress Synergy tells you which things to setup before you even start posting and two things you should consider setting up after you’ve created some content.
“Do You Have A Blog Commenting Strategy?” I don’t, but Caroline sure has. And she explains it in detail, so you can develop one for yourself.
I nearly would have missed Caroline’s post, had it not been for Darren’s “11 Tips for Getting Your Comments Noticed on a Popular Blog“. Two posts complementing each other perfectly. And who could know better how to catch a ProBlogger’s attention than Darren?
Not motivated? No ideas? Then Blogging Tune’s “15 Tips To Boost Your Productivity When Blogging” might be right for you. Give it a try.
If you aren’t sure how to structure your theme, Chris tells you “5 Items Your Blog Sidebar Must Have” at BloggingTips. Listen to him. He knows what he’s talking about.
Over at Vandelay Design Steven published his “Blogger’s Guide to Creating Better Content“. Surely something we should all take to heart (Yeah, especially me. I know *g*).
While I’m talking about taking things to heart - You should definitely read (and maybe memorize) the “12 Basic On-Site SEO Tactics for Optimized Results” at Search Engine Journal. Well assembled list.
What software do you use to write your posts? I’ve tried several, but somehow always returned to WordPress’ simple editor. In case you’re a Live Writer user, you should check out Mani’s list of “10 powerful Windows Live writer plugins for bloggers“.

I hope you enjoy reading this selection of posts as much as I did. If you do, let the authors know.

Want to be included in the next installment of SitW? Write a good blogging related post and let me know.

Btw, recent studies* have shown that active stumblers appear at least 10% friendlier than non-stumblers.
* studies performed by myself with myself and a grumpy old lady as test objects

Thanks for the link and the stumble, it’s very much appreciated. I’ve read all but one or two of the posts listed here, great collection. I’ll have to check out the ones that I haven’t read yet.

Ditto - great list. I had not spent much time commenting on blogs before I read Caroline’s post. I am fairly new to blogging and it wasn’t something I had considered. But….it’s becoming addictive and I am getting more of an idea of the powerful nature of blog marketing. Now..back to your link list and more reading.
Jack Page on November 14th, 2007 at 2:50 am

Yes, those commenting posts will come in handy, need to set aside some time to read them thoroughly later.

Commenting is indeed addicting, I do it all the time nowadays.

Breaking in your new running shoes will take some time so you might want to consider buying new shoes before your old ones fall apart. Nothing is worse that not having your old running shoes to fall back on while you break in the new ones.
