A blog involves much more than just the content posted. There are three keys to being an effective blogger:
- Writing engaging, thought-provoking, and intelligent posts that encourage others to respond. Each post should have an argument, express a point of view, and indicate an openness to conversation (often by asking a question that invites reader comment).
- Responding to those who comment, to foster dialogue
- Engaging with others in the blogosphere, in their own spaces
Make sure your own posts encourage comments by:
- Linking meaningfully. Use link text that tells readers where you are sending them, and/or gives an indication of the content. “This post” is not a meaningful link.
- Identifying people & organizations named. This is both courteous, and can let others know you’re talking about them, which can encourage discussion.
- Expressing an opinion, or at least a strong angle. Give people something to talk about.
- Asking a question. Make it clear that you are open to interaction.
- Writing clearly and correctly
- Acknowledge all comments received
- Elaborate on the person’s post or remarks
- Encourage conversation among commenters
- Answer a question, offer suggestions, link to resources
- Respect boundaries and etiquette
