Blogging Starter Checklist

Blogging Starter Checklist on Squidoo:

Things to do on your blog
1. Enable search on your blog

Again, search should be a standard feature for any website. Your blogging provider would normally provide the feature. You just have to find out how to enable it for your blog.

2. Link to your profile

Write up your introduction "elevator pitch" and link it from your blog. People want to know who you are. Celebrity bloggers can ignore this comment :)

3. Provide a way to contact you

Other than posting comments on your blog, provide a way (email, phone or both) for your readers to connect with you. I have made quite a few new friends from all over the world.

Squidoo is the kind of list that might be useful to novice users of the Internet, like your old Aunt Carol going online for the very first time. It's not particularly enlightening, but I suppose that this list could be useful to some people.
