Today I am going to be walking you through creating a blog post as many people have sent in letters (not emails) saying, "Wow!!!! You are such a great blogger seriouslysolo!!!! How do you do it?????" and "Seriouslysolo could you give me advice on blogging? That would be good." So I am.
1. DO NOT DO BLOGS THAT COULD PASS FOR BOOKS! A long blog is sometimes good, but nobody wants to read a novel. I know from experience. Keep it short and sweet with a picture, or medium sized to kinda big with some or none pictures.
2. MOBILE BLOGGING SAVES LIVES! If you only update from your computer, you can do great blogs, but you won't be able to pump them out as fast as a mobile blogger would. This puts me at a disadvantage right now seeing as I have a phone that doesn't email or MMS.
3. GO VIDEO CRAZY! You know what they say, a video is worth a thousand pictures, and a picture is worth a thousand words. That's like... a million words per video! Just look at Trammelocity and eric's "video a day".
4. GET A FLICKR SLIDESHOW! Or picasa or iPhoto or whatever crap you want to throw up there. A mini photo-feed is the life-blood of blogs. Although I do know some great ones without them.
If you follow all that advice, you should be blogging great solo-style blogs in no time.

*please look at section 4 sentence 3" Although I do know some good blogs without them.
You're on thin ice my blogging friend. Your "help" sure sounds a lot like "criticism". One must keep an open mind for the creative mediums such as a blog. Too much self consciousness will cause one to stifle creativity and suck the life out of a blog. I would go on, but I'm afraid that you might post a blog about comment etiquette. (of course if you do, include a line about shamelessly promoting your own blog as a no-no)
