All great points…

I would add that a good blogger shouldn’t be afraid to have strong opinions, even if they may not be popular.

BTW, I’ve been reading your blog for a while, but I think this is my first comment…

A good blog takes TIME. A lot of time.

I’m obviously not the same level of blogger (not even anywhere close) as those you’ve linked to, but even when I start thinking of how to make my blog better I realize it’s something that’s going to take time.

And maybe this doesn’t belong here, but ultimately you must write for yourself. Don’t write for traffic. It may well come, but it may not. But if you write for the sheer joy of it, I think you will find much more pleasure in the whole blogging experience.

Wow.

Good’n, keith.

(Thanks again to Kat who recently greatly reduced the length of my blogroll and made it random and rotating.)

Another one from an observer: avoid sidebar overload.

Welcome, Casey. I knew kissing up to Boo Mama and Shannon would pay off someday.

Thanks for the link.
