For Bloglings (and Everybody Else)
Saturday, July 8th, 2006When you’re new to blogging, just starting to peep, you wonder if anyone’s listening out there and if they ever will. That’s how I used to feel, and now, over the past couple of weeks, I’ve started to see your comments coming in. Thank you so much for that!
Today I found an excellent post that shows an understanding of how us bloglings feel while also offering some tips helpful for even high-soaring bloggers. I was checking out the SOB Cafe at Liz Strauss’s Successful Blog site and found her recommendation of the “Thoughts for Bloglings” post on Tom Vander Well’s blog, QAQnA.
The post is written with such a warm and friendly tone that you feel like Tom’s putting you safely under his wing as he gives you a nudge out of the nest. He offers great advice about topics such as how to find and immerse yourself in conversations, and tips on how to show your appreciation to folks who take the time to comment.
It’s a terrific article — definitely a great read for all of us!

Hi Tom!
I was happy to spread the word about your article. You offer both a pep talk for bloglings and practical advice for bloggers at all levels — something for everybody. Fabulous!
And it is a great conversation that we’re all part of, isn’t it? Thanks for moving it along by commenting.
Cheers!

Hi Liz!
Thanks for the welcome!
You bring up a great point, too, about us all being new to this! I hadn’t really thought of it like that before, but it’s true that there’s no such thing as a 20-year veteran of blogging (yet!)
Thanks for highlighting the excitement!
