ConverStations: A Blog Posting Mantra

1. Write Post First – Sometimes we humans can get on a rabbit trail. By writing the post first, you don’t handcuff yourself to a certain title.
2. Then Title Post – By doing writing your headline after the post, you’ll have a better headline and it will match the content of the post.
3. Pick a Category – You may decide to add a new category after the first two steps.
4. At Least One Link Out – This practice extends the conversation. If you can’t find a blog, find something relevant. I also suggest to link within your sites, but don’t be a dead-end.
5. Image Above the Fold – Understand that many are reading from feed aggregators. If an image helps tell the story, make sure the reader doesn’t have to scroll to see it – they may not scroll.
6. Tag Your Post – I prefer Technorati. You may prefer something else. In any case, make sure you use tags. Think find-ability and link-ability.The easier you are to find, the better your chances of people linking back.
7. And Ping ‘Em – Use Pingoat or Pingomatic to let blog search engines know you’ve updated your site.
