There could be a million reasons why you blog, but a blogger’s top concern is that a blog does what it is intended to do. Whether you are in the planning stage or seeking to enhance your existing blog, there are easy ways to make sure that it is effective. Aside from offering interesting content, your blog will benefit from a few tricks that can pave its way to becoming a must-read.

Pick the right name. The name you choose must be clear and fairly easy to remember, as well as give a clue to what the blog is about. If it is about your company, then use its name or that of a specific product you want to promote.

Write an introduction. Most blogging sites allow for an “about” section or info box. Use it to properly introduce your blog and its writers, so that readers will know what to expect.

Anyone looking to start his or her very own blog has this very basic question in mind: What is there to blog about? It is one question that can one-handedly leave a blog-writing beginner stumped, but if you are someone of a strong opinion, with a healthy interest or, better yet, a passion for one or a number of things, then right there is just one of the paths you ought to take in your new blogging life. Here are a few pointers that may hopefully inspire your first blog entry and possibly spur a whole new website that resonates with your own unique voice.

Business
If you are an entrepreneur or a member of your company’s marketing team, blogging about business activities and projects can also help you reach potential clients. It will also give them a rare behind-the-scenes look at what makes your business work, as well as lend a personality to your company that customers can more easily relate to and, more importantly, remember.

Profession
Are you one of those “people of myth” who are actually passionate about what you do for a living? Then blogging about it can be a way for you to keep the fire burning. Whether you’re a novice still learning the ropes or an accomplished expert at what you do, there is a good chance that your voice will echo through cyberspace and reach someone who can appreciate your take. Who knows, your blog may even help ignite the passion in others to become better at what they do.

To anyone habitually browsing the internet for a good read or two, a blog that simply sucks can ruin the rest of the day. You can hope that your blog isn’t one of them, or you can try some quick fixes to make your site worth visiting and attract more readers. Here are 10 indications that your blog sucks.

1. Subscriber Population: 1
Maybe in the early blogging days, bloggers find no problem in putting up their site intended for just one person, maybe a loved one or family member. It does sound romantic, doesn’t it? But when you think about it, what’s the point in blogging if you don’t want more people to read it? You can just send an email and avoid the search engines finding you.

2. Loading… Please… Wait…
When you have high-speed broadband, the latest computer equipment and best optimized web browsers at your disposal, chances are, you know just how fast the internet can get. Then it’s no wonder a slow-loading blog is such a turn-off.

3. Clutter, Clutter Everywhere
A possible cause of a slow blog is unnecessary clutter. Oftentimes, clutter happens when a blogger is a little too excited in putting a blog together. A widget here and here, picture slide show there, video here… just prevents readers from enjoying an otherwise great blog. When you want readers to focus more on what you are writing, keep distractions to a minimum. Treat widgets more like accessories that accent and add to your content.

The vast reach and content of the internet and the various available blog sites have, at a certain level, opened up all kinds of possibilities for what you can write about. Judging from the sheer number and variety of new blogs sprouting on the web daily, bloggers can write about anything and everything these days, but that does not mean they should. Similar to being a journalist, being a serious blogger has a certain sense of responsibility attached to it. When it comes to the consequences of writing your blog, a little consideration goes a long way.

Personal Details
If you are one blogger who tends to be more personal than necessary, then you should stop right there. Your main audience may be family members and friends you actually know and trust, but keep in mind that a blog can easily be viewed by strangers. Putting out too personal information out there can put you or your family and friends at risk. You never know who is reading your blog to steal that information for fraud or other illegal activities. Breaking into your house when you’ve announced you’re on vacation, for instance.

Blogging Other People
When writing about other people on your blog, it pays to be extra careful. You don’t want to reveal any information that they themselves may be uncomfortable sharing. For some bloggers, it may be better to avoid blogging about other people entirely. For instance, take those people who use their own blog to vent about people they resent. Unfortunately for them, it is only a matter of time before those resented people discover the blogs and find out what these bloggers think of them. Some cases could lead to heartache, broken families, and estranged friends, while others may spur serious lawsuits. You would do well to avoid the trouble altogether.

“The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything. Except what is worth knowing. Journalism, conscious of this, and having tradesman-like habits, supplies their demands.” – Oscar Wilde

Consider this “tradesman-like” nature of journalism, and assume that writers, in general, write on topics that the public want to read about. Relevance and urgency are what makes news what it is. When the Internet entered the equation, however, with its speed, convenience and ever-growing reach, news leapt from off the printed page to become more relevant and urgent online, leaving traditional journalism gasping for air.

Journalists behind major dailies and periodicals have taken heed of the trend, bringing broadsheet, tabloid, and magazine content online. The more visionary ones have put up blogs early on. Yet in the advent of the blogging age, when blogging tools have been made available to just about everyone, journalists are suddenly in competition with… well, everyone. On some occasions, newsworthy happenings are spread like wildfire by bloggers even before news editors hear about them. In some instances, the blogs are the news. When you think about how blogs are permeating the reading habits and overall consciousness of the public, then there is little wonder on how blogging is killing traditional journalism.
