The Blogger Tips Collective (Meme)

Thank goodness Amy over at Sleepy Reader tagged me for this meme, because it jolted me out of my work-induced haze and reminded me that I have been a bad blogger lately.

The bad news is, this meme is all about how to be a good blogger.

Heh.

-Start Copy-

It’s very simple. When this is passed on to you, copy the whole thing, skim the list and put a * star beside those that you like. (Check out especially the * starred ones.)

Add the next number (1. 2. 3. 4. 5., etc.) and write your own blogging tip for other bloggers. Try to make your tip general.

After that, tag 10 other people. Link love some friends!

Just think - if 10 people start this and the 10 people pass it on to another 10 people, you have 100 links already!

1. Look, read, and learn. *** http://www.neonscent.com/

9. Visit all the bloggers that leave comments for you - it’s nice to know who is reading! *** http://stephaniesbooks.blogspot.com/

10. Thrown in something humorous occasionally, to keep things fun.* http://bonniesbooks.blogspot.com/

11. Make it easy for your readers - use tags and labels and keep it simple!** http://caribousmom.blogharbor.com

12. Memes are fun and a great way to get to know other bloggers!* http://thesleepyreader.wordpress.com

13. Don't expect perfection from yourself. If you overthink your posts, it can be agonizing work. Just let 'er rip! http://literalicious.blogspot.com

-End Copy-
