I’m currently taking up CW 198: Special Problems (Online Writing) this sem for fun which means it won’t be credited (Gaaah.) but so far, it has been worth the time although I’m having trouble creating a decent character when we need to do some sort of modified RPGs.

Lately, we’ve been discussing more about weblogs (thank God) and here’s the latest piece of blogging advice we’ve discussed, taken from from We’ve Got Blog’s Weblogging: Lessons Learned by Kulesh Shanmugasundaram

Nothing in a Name: just pick one, and get on with it

Content is Everything: be original, be unique, be observant

Kiss That Design Goodbye: keep design compatible across platforms, browsers

Don’t Be an Addict: get your information from a variety of sources

10 Million vs. 10: Having ten million hits is not the game plan. Having 10 regular readers is a home run.

Simple is Success: readers will give your site 30 to 45 seconds to grab their interest

Sights, Sounds & Style: find your own style, don’t be boring

Be Nice to Bloggers: be polite commenting on other blogs

Anonymous Is Okay: no one really cares who you are, get on with what you have to say

Last January, we were tasked to come up with a special topic blog and produce 50 entries. Check out what we’ve come up with—mine’s not so kid/parent-friendly though. LOL.
