Things to do on your blog

1. Enable search on your blog
Again, search should be a standard feature for any website. Your blogging provider would normally provide the feature. You just have to find out how to enable it for your blog.
2. Link to your profile
Write up your introduction "elevator pitch" and link it from your blog. People want to know who you are. Celebrity bloggers can ignore this comment :)
3. Provide a way to contact you
Other than posting comments on your blog, provide a way (email, phone or both) for your readers to connect with you. I have made quite a few new friends from all over the world.
4. Create meaningful categories and chunk content
Very soon you will have a lot of content on your blog and your readers will get confused where to go. One option is to create meaningful categories and file content appropriately. That will be a great service for your readers.
5. Put your photo on the home page
Blog is a conversation that you are having with your readers and it becomes more personal with a photo.
Will add more next time Let me know if you are interested in me continuing in this line

Sure wendy I am very much interested in you continuing this line. Though I do not have any blog at present, I am seriously thinking about starting one. At present I am thinking over a suitable and attractive subject upon which I can contribute some thing. Please carry on with providing us with more tips.
Thank you very much.

One thing you can do, is keep a spreadsheet of your blog ideas, and titles. I like the usefulness of Microsoft Excel, but that is not the only one. That way, when I want to review my thoughts, or make notes for what I want to input in my blogs, I can pull of a spreadsheet and see the ordering of my ideas. Gosh, wouldn't the early structuralists and philosophers liked to have played with spreadsheets?
