Tech news, reviews, and a geek's ramblings

Dear bloggers,
Here is a compilation of my all blogging tips/guides series to help you out in your blogging “career”. Every blogger starts from zero. It all depends on what you do next to yourself and to your blog to make it happen.
I wrote these series based on my own experience as a blogger from zero to “not yet” a hero. I hope that you can get some insights and especially encouragement to stand the hardships during your blogging “career”.
Oh, and don’t forget to check my Blogging Tips category section as well for some individual blogging tips’ posts. As always, if my posts benefit you, I’d appreciate if you share it to other fellow bloggers.
These are some guides to Entrecard, a much more than a blogging community. At the moment, I’ve just put up the most basic guide here. More will be added in the future.

Very useful ideas! I am into blogging already and I learn as i go around…
I see that you are using Lighbreaker Theme, Right?

I tried sending you a contact form, but it did not work as it’s asking for some validation code. I guess it may be something to do with CAPTURE, but I am not familiar with it?
Sorry, there was a mistake because of a plug-in update. I’ve fixed it and contacted you personally. Thanks for letting me know
very useful tahnks
Great compilation. This made it easier for me to navigate through your site for the first time
Hi Michael…I’m a part time blogger and your blogging tips compilation will be very useful to me. Thanks for sharing and more power to your blog.
Michael
Hi! Michael, thanks for this post.. I have been blogging before but it is only two weeks ago that I started monetizing it.. Oh, good luck to me..
Cheers!
All the best indeed! I haven’t found the best way to monetize this blog yet so hopefully yours can do better!
You know what I like about going back to blogs that I usually hop to? When they have such a neat list of helpful tips like this! I love the comparison to animals, I am a fan of comparison at times. I think it was clever!
Thanks Jonha, I should do these posts more often
Lots of people loved the Turtle one
Which web host (to purchase a domain before dl wordpress.org’s software) would you recommend?
Hi Cecilia, I’d recommend highly Hostgator, the web host that I’m using now. Are you just getting a domain name or do you want to get the web hosting account as well?
If you just want to buy a domain name, might want to browse elsewhere cheaper but Hostgator web hosting package is of high quality support and speed (compared to my previous one)
Hi Michael,
I was thinking of getting a domain to fulfill the first step of wordpress.org
What do you mean by web hosting account?
Thanks for the reply.
Oh, basically if you buy a domain name, you need to point it to somewhere. You need an online storage to store your files, your website, your blog, emails, etc.
A web hosting package normally has this included with a domain name. So if you want to open a WordPress blog with your own domain name, you need the whole package, and not just a URL
I hope this is clear. If you are new to setting up your own website or blog online, I’d suggest to google around to understand the terms better
Thank you for a great Blog and some superb posts. As a new Blogger, I know that I have a lot to learn, and who better to learn than from someone like yourself who has achieved so much? Your Blog is a true inspiration, and I have subscribed to your RSS in order to continue the learning from someone as passionate about Blogging as yourself. My wish for 2011 is to have a mentor of your caliber to guide me to achieve my dreams of being a better Blogger. Have a great day.
Many thanks for your kind words and encouragement, Leon! There are many great bloggers out there (far better than me) but I’m certainly glad to hear that you’ve been blessed with my posts and guidance so far
Looking forward to write more informative posts. All the best to you
Is perfectly blog. I propose to make friends and share articles, if you’re interested
These blogging tips are very useful. For example, I don’t know anything about Entrecard. It’ll be interesting to read about it.

These blogging tips are very useful
nice post and informative too.
yes you can’t get the success over a night, so be patient and yes be a turtle

Yes, success requires hard work and making money online does not happen overnight
Happy blogging to you too!
I just started blogging a month ago and it’s really difficult to get traffic. I love simplicity. That’s what a blogger should always do first. thanks for the tips on how to blog.
Getting traffic will always be our main question (apart from how to make money I guess
)
People say build great quality contents and traffic will come, so there.. (though I still believe you need to do SEO and promotion to get the traffic, heh)
Great post with useful tips. I am new to blogging and I’m still in the process of learning something which may help to me and this tips from you is kinda helpful to me. Thanks for the share!

You’re welcome, Emmitt. Happy blogging! And there’s always something new to learn from others
hey, nice tips there, and I can understand the difficulties as a Reviewer as I also review Android/iPhone apps.
But still getting these for free is pretty cool
Well, it’s sort of a compensation of the work you did for reviewing
the time spent to use, observe, write, and market the post, etc
It’s a win-win!
Blogging gives me enough chance to work and be flexible with my schedule most of the time. I think I am turtle when it comes to blogging since I always try to find a way to improve my skills. I have tried to be product reviewer before but I guess I am sticking to blogging. Thanks for the links, which I am going to check out later.
Kristen B. recently posted..Toshiba DVR670 DVD/VHS Recorder Review
Well you can always do both. I never had a thought of being a reviewer before. You just had to grab that opportunity when it’s there
Very good tips, I hope you’ll add some articles here.

Do we really have to monetize our blogs? How often are we going to do that? I still don’t have any bog yet but I am still trying to learn and read a loot of articles that could teach me and make my business or blogs successful. But, really a very useful and great tips. I’ll be reading more from you Michael. Thanks. And before I forget, how do use WordPress to earn more? I have been trying it but can’t get all the things done.
Gray recently posted..How To Make Money With WordPress
Well you don’t have to but if you can’t earn money while blogging, why not? Just make sure you don’t put money on top of your readers, that’s all
Hi Michael. Great post. I think these tips are so great because they can be used in both a personal and business capacity. I love the part about knowing and eliminating your barriers. I think this can affect the blog negatively if not identified early.
Thanks, Michelle. I haven’t written any blogging tips posts for a while; glad you like my tips!
An excellent summarized collection !!
