Thanks for the article. It comes in handy! I've just started my blog less than a month ago. But the traffic was quite poor. But my contents are more like a personal diary. Does it mean that it won't attract readers?

I've developed a system where I have 3 types of posts:

1) a photo which I put up every day, 7 days a week. I haven't missed a day since I've started. I can do this weeks in advance.

2) Short posts updating my status. These are quickies to let people know what I'm doing. They take little time, I seldom use photos and they aren't very long. I try to do one a day, but sometimes can't. Never more than 3 days without some sort of point.

3) Articles. These are much longer, researched and have heavy photo integration. I try to do one a week, but sometimes can't do that.

Given the nature of my blog, I don't do too many lists and I never have guest bloggers.

Nice list...
I think I'll keep it as an easy reference and checklist for posting.

4. Try to break the news whenever possible!

this is right, that's why you must cut your post if this contains over 300 words

Thanks for the tips, they were helpful.

How long does it take (assuming the blog is worthy) for blogs to generate return readers?

Thanks again,
