When people start their first blog, they read. A lot. Blogs, websites, advice, news… looking for tips and inspiration. This is one habit the newbie blogger should strive to maintain.
Read More Than You Write. This is the blogging equivalent of the old saying “Listen more than you talk.” My granny used to say “This is why God gave you two ears, but one mouth.”
Read More Than You Write. More blogs. More articles. More comments. Visit others. Add to the community.
Do this, and you will not regret it.

So true! I think when you first start blogging, you can be so excited to get your thoughts out there that you downplay the participation component of blogging.
Life would be a lot more pleasant for new bloggers if they started reading and participating before or at least at the same time they start writing instead of waiting to join the community until they have a blog full of posts and no visitors, subscribers or commenters!
