1000 things I’ve learned about blogging

Posted on September 8, 2008 by | 4 Comments

Check out Paul Bradshaw‘s list (it’s really 100 things, not 1000):

#1 Blogging is not ‘writing a blog’. Blogging is linking and commenting. Any writing is a bonus.

…and then there are 99 more. Which ones you agree with, which ones not? After all, blog is just a software and different people use it for different purposes, so none of those lists are applicable to all.

    Nice site. Bradshaw really should learn how to count though.

    49. WordPress.com is better than Blogger

    Fanboy posts are annoying, see Linux et al. Technology is is a tool. If you know how to use the tool, it matters very little which brand you use. Michelangelo carved David with what we would consider “primitive” tools. Renaissance painters mixed their own pigments and made their brushes. Their reliance on “inferior” technology did not hinder their progress or prevent them from producing timeless art.

    50. Content is not king.

    Agreed, content is the prince, Layout is the king. If readers can’t find the content to discuss, there will be no conversations.

    Thanks for the link. I’ll use it this weekend as I introduce biology teachers to blogging and other tools.

    It sounds like a meme in the making.
    Copy the list.
    Italicize the ones you agree with.
    Bold the ones you wish you’d thought of.
    Color red the ones you disagree with.
    Translate into Kievian Yiddish the ones you don’t really understand.
    Tell six other people to repeat the exercise.
