the key to a succesful blog

by alecweston ^Pro @ 2009-11-03 – 20:12:45

What do you think the key is?

A new young blogger has asked for my advice. How would I know? Considering the overall high quality of Too Much to Declare (sarky, negative comments will be deleted ) I am appalled how few people worldwide read it. But anyway stats are not everything. What matters most is... blah, blah.

What does matter most?

Most of the reply I sent will remain confidential between me and my new friend, Jwjwoodhouse, except that I advised him to keep most of his posts quite short.

What else would you advise, oh wise readers?

  Yes, I've always thought "shite from the isle of wight" was one of the best straplines around. "Hang tight on, this is Brighton" doesn't really have the same ring to it.

  Shh! I am going to relaunch it properly when everything is working. He appears to have been resolving all the issues one by one all day - an hour ago, the download link didn't work even on the home page.
  
  It sure has taken time.

So I've concluded that I'll be keeping my posts short.

Like this.

  Good!
  
  Although a long one occasionally is fine. The first one, for example. And let's face it, it's hard to tell a complex backstory in three crisp sentences.
