Ei Jan, cannot find an inspiration to write? You surpassed 3-months. But it seems you were now just fond of reading blogposts than writing one yourself. Looking forward for a new post from you :)

I agree! a Blog is for human and blogging is just for fun...money comes whether you like it or not. As Google says, "Take care of your readers and we'll take care of your traffic"..blogging couldn't be more simpler that . But somehow, somewhere in the blogshere people makes it complicated.

Hmm. People want information - that's the first thing. Sure, you might start off because you need to express yourself, but in the long run you do it for your readers. When I see my blog, I can't believe that putting 30 minutes of your time a day to write an informative blog post could mean so much. ;D

That's true. Lots of things to learn. But it's the right mix of learning
and having fun. There's always this strange compulsion to learn.
Otherwise, you'd be left out. New technologies, new trends keep coming up
in the horizon. No rest at all for the wicked as they say... Thanks for
leaving a comment. Much appreciated. :)

I liked this blog. This is the first time I arrived here & i am hapy that I am here.

I want to say that learning is a never ending process & that can be done in ways that are never limited.

Thanks for sharing these tips here.

Thanks. It's a bit presumptuous but somehow it worked. :)

Great tips. However, here is the 11th lesson I learned from this post:

"Mention the name of a Popular (almost celebrity) blogger in your post title if you want to tickle the curiosity button of your first time reader". [It sure did in my case ;)]

It just goes to show that we as bloggers all have our own lessons to learn. Sure there are some similarities, but as each blogger is an individual, the lessons they learn and portray to others also differ.

I must remember not to use the term 'you suck' in my posts/comments ;)

This was an excellent post! I'm actually considering printing it out and framing it as the 10 commandments of blogging. I especially like the last point. I spend so much time on my blog that I often don't sleep at night.

Welcome, Jan. I learn much from you too. It's great to know your site as well.

Thanks, Rob. Makes for easy writing, too. ",)

Being personal is the way -- it lets us writers give perspective when we pass along a few of those hard-won points of life! Keep on!

Hi, I'm glad this sits well with you. Wow, the things you've mentioned look like a good list for future posts. Thanks for sharing with us your insights. ",)

Hi, Melvin. Yeah, I know - I've read your account of WordCamp 2009. You're a shy person? That surprised me. I've always thought of you as a gregarious, life of the party kind of guy.

That's a great lesson: never stop learning. I thought I was already done with school. But with blogging, oh boy. So many things to do and master. The gaps in my knowledge make me red in the face. LOL. Thanks, Barbara.

jangeronimo — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 08:26:04 -0000

Thanks a lot, Rob. What a great compliment. I can't be anything but personal with this. Most of those points I've learned the hard way.

I hope you did not fall asleep though. ",) The courage to be yourself - this is one of the toughest one to master. Most of the time, we tend to put up a brave front although there's nothing wrong with that of course. It's the constant temptation to manage how others perceive us through our blogging that can often lead to horrible writing. Thanks, Tracy, for bringing up a very important point.

Unexpectedly I enjoy this post a lot. Yes, it's a stumble alright. ^^

I think we all get to learn something along the way. Darren may guide us since started, but I think he knows well we will figure out other things eventually. For example, family is our priority, so are the importance of health, ethics, networking, bloggers collaborations.. and more. I learn that everything comes with a price; also, the need to be grateful for whatever milestones we hit, and numbers is not always 'everything'.

That's a great perspective on blogging, Andy. That common sense approach
spills over into other areas of life, doesn't it. And when that happens -
all on account of a genial outlook - life is enriched, and zest for blogging
becomes an endless loop. Well, almost. ",)

to me my best achievement was realizing that "it's just a blog" , once I understood that, I didn't snap at people that took time away from me posting and I started to enjoy that thing called 'life'.

turns out thought that enjoying life gives me more reason to blog.

go figure!

I've seen a number of your posts and they look okay to me. There's attribution and you make the idea your own with your own insights. Very original nga result eh - a nice mashup, that's the term, right?

So you see you'd make a poor splogger, Darbs. You've to be more unfeeling and inconsiderate of the rights of your fellow bloggers if you want to excel in that shady business. Just kidding , of course.

it is really heartbreaking pag ung mga sinusubaybayan mong blog na close. this is one of the reasons why i blog. at minsan copy and paste ung content dahil takot din akong baka one day mawala na rin. sana hindi unethical ung ginagawa kong copy and paste. mag-sosori na lang in advance.
