The Do's and Don'ts of Blogging

Heya everyone,
So back on the theme of blogging and I've written a little list of the do's and don'ts of blogging for all you new bloggers; there's quite a few so lets get started:

• Do interact with your readers through comments and social media
• Don't beg people to read your blog, people will find their own way to your blog 
• Do post regularly, I would say at least once a week
• Don't overdose your readers, space out your posts a little bit
• Do use easy to understand language, you want people to be able to understand your posts so don't over complicate the words you use
• Don't write essay long blog posts, a blog post doesn't need to be 2000 words long to be good only write as much as you want to so don't pay attention to how many words you've written
• Do include pictures in your posts, its always nice to read a post that has photos on
• Don't repeat yourself, this is something I definitely need to work on my self but try as best as you can to not keep repeating what you're typing
• Do get inspiration from fellow bloggers, look at what posts they have written and maybe do something along those lines
• Don't copy off the internet, people read you're posts because they want to read what YOU think and have written not what someone else has written
• Do include your personal opinions, your blog is written by you so write about you and what you think/feel
• Don't make it TOO personal, make sure you aren't revealing to much about your self and make sure you stay safe and don't share things like your telephone number or home address
• Do write about things that YOU are genuinely interested in and want to write about
• Don't just write posts that you see others doing because they have write what you want to write

I hope you've found this post helpful,
