comment for something that you have posted to your blog,


Then you should read this.



I found an interesting article at Daily Blog Tips it talks about what
not to say when writing a post to your blog.

Blogging is great for reaching a wide audience.

The larger the audience, though, the more likely you’ll draw the wrong kind of attention.

Flame wars, lawsuits, bad PR, angry real-life relations… your blog can get you into all sorts of trouble.

Even worse, the more popular your blog becomes, the more often you’ll have to deal with this sort of negative attention. Thankfully, there’s one hard and fast rule you can use to keep your blog from getting you into needless trouble:

Never post anything you wouldn’t say in person.


It may seem simple, but it works in many different situations. Just imagine that the person or people to whom your post would be particularly relevant are going to see it.


Complaining about your job? Assume your supervisor and coworkers are going to read it. Reviewing a local diner?


Assume it will be read by the owner. Criticizing a fellow blogger? Assume he or she will catch wind of it. What’s the point of it all? The point is that many bloggers become so engrossed in standing on their personal soap boxes that they forget others are listening to them.


By taking the possible impact of your post into consideration, you’re less likely to say something inconsiderate or offensive.


Others may still take offense, especially if you’re saying something negative, but they’re less likely to retaliate if you phrase your remarks politely, the same way you might if they were standing right in front of you.

Note that this rule only helps those of us who would otherwise practice prudence and restraint vis-à-vis the subjects of our blogging.


If you’re the sort of person who doesn’t mind being openly rude, you’ll probably get in trouble anyway, blog or no blog

Give Your Blog A Face Lift

There are lot of little tricks that web designers use that can turn a good blog into a blog that really stands out from the rest.

Some blogs just look great, and some are severely lacking in style. here are a few tips to help give your blog a face lift.

1. Optimize the template. Make sure post titles appear in the title tag and append the title tag (hard code) with the most important phrase for your blog.

2. Add A shadow or a border to your photos.
This is probably the easiest step in adding that little something extra. Adding a border or a

shadow doesn’t look as well on every photo. For instance, I think a photo that has a white background should have a shadow and one with a black back ground should use border.


3.The color scheme of your blog is very important and critical
keep your colors simple, I find that using simple black or dark blue text with a white background works the best.

You can use any colors that you want. Just make sure that those two colors contrast well together.

And, if you are going to use the reverse technique, make sure that the fonts are non-serif fonts. Delicate serif fonts tend to become hazy and break making it difficult to read.

4. Less is more: Do not overdo the site with fonts and colors.

This may create a busy and destructive look on the page, which will serve no purpose other then frustrating your site visitors. So remember less is actually more.

5. No decorative fonts in all caps: decorative font in capital letters are worse than reading

paragraphs that are center aligned. Simple non-serif fonts are the best for headlines as they are clear and add weight to the page.

I will come back to this topic later, And give you some more tips. .
