They are really interesting. I think there are a couple of things that might vary depending on blog type and content. For instance, I don't think posting every day is necessarily a good thing. I really don't like reading posts that are more or less "I don't have much to post today." Or, "here's an update picture of my knitted socks. It doesn't really look any different than yesterday." I'd rather have less frequent posts with better quality content. Daily or more frequent posts are best when there's interesting content and/or the posts are brief and of varying topics. Also, I do think that commenting is a great way to create relationships, but just an "I like your blog, here's mine" email sometimes looks a little spammy. Instead I might suggest that a good way to increase traffic is to offer interesting tutorials or other free content. Logging your day to day activity is great but offering information that people can put to use is even better. My 2¢ Thanks again for your thoughtful notes. I really enjoyed reading them.

Wow you were really paying attention! (I'd have been racing through my brain trying to think of what to say and get all kerfuffled (sp?). Grateful to all you ladies for sharing your information. Hopefully, will get to meet you next time! Last and final side note: what's up with the bacon craze?! The bacon cups? Love 'em! (And don't get me wrong...I REALLY love the stuff.) But did you see the responses to Elaine's "Bacon: Yes or No?" post...crazy! I'm tellin' you the government is gonna want a cut of this if it keeps up ;) Okay, over and out :) Have a great weekend!
