Blogging 101: A Series for Blog Newbies
2007 April 13
Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about blogs and how to blog. I’m going to do a series of posts with intro information for those that are new to the blogosphere.
Topics will/may include things like:
- How to blog
- Why blog
- What is RSS and how do I use it
- Figuring out what people are talking about on blogs
- Figuring out if bloggers are talking about you
- What to blog about
- Doesn’t blogging take a lot of time?
- and much more I’m sure
They may not be posted in that order but those are are the topics that I want to get to.
Did I miss anything? Are there questions that you guys have been getting that should be answered? Do you have questions about blogging? Let me know.
Are there good resources that you use to intro people to blogging?
It may be useful to do something about ‘when’ to blog.
I don’t mean in the time sense, I mean in the context of ‘when is Blogging an appropriate medium to leverage, and when is it not’.
I look forward to following and participating in your thoughts and the ensuing conversations they may bring.

Thanks Chris! I will add that to my list. A good article that parallels my thoughts is the one on “The See-Through CEO” in the latest issue of Wired Magazine.

I really believe in “radical transparency.”
If i was to write something like that (and by no mean should my work by THE only industry standard), but i would qoute/organize what is allready written.
There are LOTS of material out there which attempted this topic, some of them are classics within the blogsphere.
Good luck on it, looking foward reading it
@mozey, what are your fav. articles on the blogging basics?
Here is a good one without digging TOO deep.
