If you're blogging for points, make it > 200 words, or make it interesting to get people to comment on it. If you're doing it for profit, blog about areas of expertise so that when people google you, they find what you know about!

Good luck and welcome to AR

Thanks everyone for responding and for all the tips. I am slowly and do mean slowly figuring this out. I am more of a trial and error learner when it comes to any type of technology. I have to read and then try several times before I get the hang of things. This should be quite interesting.
