4. Blogging
• Blogging is the act of posting content on a blog
(a Web log or online journal) or posting
comments on someone else's blog.
• Blogging has also become a popular search
engine optimization (SEO) tool because search
engines like Google and Yahoo know that a blog
is frequently updated with content or visitor
comments, so their spiders visit blogs frequently
looking for new content to include in their index.

way to just communicate; they become a
way to reflect on life, or works of art.

18. BLOGGING TIPS
• Post regularly, but don’t post if you have nothing worth
posting about.
• Don’t put “subscribe” and “vote me” links all over the
front page until you have people that like your blog
enough to ignore them (they’re usually just in the way)
• Stick with only few specific genres to talk about.
• Use a clean and simple theme if at all possible.
• Enjoy, blog for fun, comment on other people’s blogs (as
they normally visit back).
• Have fun blogging and remember, there are no rules to
what you post on your blog!
