I was elated to see your card drop in my inbox. I had lost your email a while back and remembered how enjoying your blog was - I just couldn’t find my way back! I have the RSS feed now
Thank you Michelle. You’re very kind.
I ask my readers to pay a visit to Michelle’s Lady Language blog. She has exquisite taste.
Came here dropping entrecards. You belong to a few who just plainly enjoys blogging. Some are in it for money. I on the other hand am into blogging because of the challenge.
Thank you for dropping by and sharing your thoughts.
Profit and challenge are important to me too.
This is a great, comprehensive list. Well said.
Brilliant Larry. I especially like #26 and #27.
This list articulates everything that I thought about blogging. Honestly, I started regular blogging way back in January (and got my own blogging site), experimenting how somebody could earn money from it. At the same time, it did gave me one thing I never expected from it - meet and network with people from all corners of the world and made lots of friends. I think this is priceless and worth all the time and effort - plus I did earn some few amounts however I did not expect to earn a lot though. My other sites are bringing in the desired revenue - but blogging will continue in the spirit the way you ‘inked’ this list. Good luck and more power! (and thanks for ‘faving’ me on Technorati.
)
Looks like you are gaining quite an influence already! Thanks for stopping by The Net Fool Dot Com.
Love the reason: “It builds my writing muscle,” how true.
Great list and I like the site a lot! Keep up all the hard work, and if you have any technical issues… You now know where to go!

How about - building that special community?
If you’re referring to the blogging community at large, it’s rather vast. Perhaps each blog is a community or part of a small community of blogs.
Larry!! Nice to see you on here, I enjoyed reading your blogs on your Yuwie profile. I think I would enjoy writing my blogs more if I had something to write about, LOL. I’ll work on it.

The more articles posted to your blog, the more pages you’ll get listed in the search engines. The more the merrier!
It is like with fisherman. Pages in the search engines represent hooks with live bait on them in the water. The more you have, the better your chances of catching fish will be.
Likewise, the more quality content you get posted on the web through your blog, the better your chances of attracting traffic and customers to your site!
Always remember: The more articles you add to your blog, the more hooks you’ll have in the water working to pull in a steady stream of traffic and profits for you.

I am a web designer and find that blogging is a useful tool for increasing a company’s seach engine rankings. I consider # 18 to be very important for my web design clients.
That’s excellent Kim.
I find that too many websites are no more that online brochures or business cards.
Your clients are very fortunate to be working with somebody enlightened.
