I think that some of the above posts are right, there are no rules for writing! I think a good mix of being informative, news related and having a few word plays and a good twist help. But above all, each post should have a message for people to want to come back. Do come and have a read on my blog, I write daily, Monday to Friday, and the regular schedule really helps getting visitors returning. Best regards, Erik van Geest

Thanks for your comment, Katrina. I agree — reading blogs similar to your own is a GREAT source of ideas and inspiration! And, the best way to build a better blog is to turn it into a joy, like you said…not a chore.

That said, however, I find I don’t have enough time to read blogs about writing. I read books about writing all the time, but not blogs….

Number 5 really hits home. I enjoy reading other well written blogs on subjects I am interested in. Usually something I read will get me thinking and that will lead to another subject and a new topic and so on. It just really seems to spark inspiration for my own work and then writing becomes a joy instead of a chore.

Your comment reminds me of learning the rules for writing: it’s important to know what they are, but you have to know when to break them so your own style, voice, and content can break free!

I think it’s important to learn the rules of great blogging from successful people like Huffington, and then play with the rules until you find what works for you.

Good luck with your soft launch, Raul!

What works for Huffington Post bloggers won’t work for other bloggers. It depends on many different factors, including the topic and blog readership. I don’t read the Huffington Post but I know how popular that blog is. There’s alot to learn there, but the best way to build a popular blog is to try different things until you find what works for you, I think.
