Everything we do now should start with creating and staying active on a blog, but not just being active and typing new content but by being engaging, entertaining, rewarding and relavent.
Be active by interacting with the people reading the material and commenting. Everyone loves comments and most people love being responded to when they leave comments. By engaging with new visitors it helps create new friends, relationships nad new business and I think that's why most of us are here veiwing, typing and reading.
Try to be entertaining with your blogs and the will become viral. Write about something your passionate about and people will come and subcribe to your blog and share it with others. By writing about what your passioante about will bring out your emotions and the emotions of others. If you can bring out emotions of others they will find it interesting whether they agree with you or not they will respond and share it with others.
Be rewarding to other through your blog, give credit to others, respond to comments, post comments on other blogs. Be genuine and positive, don't flame someone for poor spelling, grammar or anything else trivial. I feel its O.K. to be critical in a polite fashion, cronstructive criticism can and usually does good for the individual your critizing and othe reading the blog.
The last part of this blog states try to be relavent, I think if you accomplished the first three items I mentioned above, I feel the blog will be relavent. U sually blogs are on current events, statistics, helping others or selling something. All of which are relavent but some times don't fit any of the 3 other categories.
I have been reading some info from Charles Helfin which brought out these thoughts. He eled me understand the importance of blogging and have a positive presence on the web.
