Definitely LinkedIn profile is relevant and quite useful to have in email signatures.<BR/><BR/>@Jeff - good suggestion.<BR/><BR/>@Ken -<BR/><BR/>1. On the name, I agree making it catchy is good, but so is a name that helps a little bit with SEO and quick recognition what the blog is about. In other words, it's good to have a term or terms that relate to your topic.<BR/><BR/>2 & 3 Your suggestion on titles and headers for searches is good. However, I would focus more on title.<BR/><BR/>4&5 - great points.Tony Karrerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408035995182843336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-67261413201367857862008-12-18T03:08:00.000-08:002008-12-18T03:08:00.000-08:00Kia ora TonyA great list.

But I might add a few more items, though you may not follow <I>some</I> of this advice on principle:<BR/><BR/>1 -<BR/>Choose a catchy blog title, like <B><A HREF="http://newmiddle-earth.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Blogger in Middle-earth</A></B> :-)<BR/><BR/>2 -<BR/>Write (interesting?) posts and give them catchy titles that are likely to get picked up by searches (not unlike your No12 but with a bit more focus on what's catchy).<BR/><BR/>3 -<BR/>Use headers for sections with catchy titles that are likely to get picked up by searches.<BR/><BR/>4 -<BR/>Write posts <A HREF="http://newmiddle-earth.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-friendly-commentsphere.html" REL="nofollow">about the commentsphere</A> and the people in it - people like to read stuff that's about them.<BR/><BR/>5 -<BR/>Approach post writing from <A HREF="http://newmiddle-earth.blogspot.com/2008/07/5-explanations-of-zen-proverb.html" REL="nofollow">the story point of view</A>, incorporating personal stories into your range of post topics - I just learnt about that one :-)<BR/><BR/>As I said, there are principles that may be breached by following a pattern of post writing that addresses these points above. It's a bit like the singer who'd rather sing her own stuff than stuff that people ask to hear.<BR/><BR/>Catchya<BR/>from Middle-earthBlogger In Middle-earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722634477041121797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-85264801278887835792008-12-17T19:23:00.000-08:002008-12-17T19:23:00.000-08:00Blog carnivals are new to me thanks.Another idea, ...Blog carnivals are new to me thanks.<BR/><BR/>Another idea, add a blog widget to your Linked In or Facebook profile. This will display your latest posts within your profile. FYI: Keep your profile open for anyone to view, allowing all/more to see your blog posts within Linked In or Facebook.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-2551420229936392112008-12-17T06:25:00.000-08:002008-12-17T06:25:00.000-08:00Thanks for this refresher and I'll admit new ideas...Thanks for this refresher and I'll admit new ideas for me. I did not know about blog carnivals, I also didn't think too highly about putting my blog link on emails...seemed a little too high on the self-promotion scale. I am going to give both a try to see how these options work for my blog.<BR/><BR/>TracyTracy Parishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15928341626976025937noreply@blogger.com
