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.

If I could get even a few people to stick to this rule, I will have done the blogosphere a huge favor. In fact, do us all a favor and spread the word!

• Don’t blog with excuses about why you haven’t been blogging.
• Don’t blog with apologies for not writing more.
• Don’t blog about writer’s block.

It isn’t interesting.
