Today, I’m taking a break from following P. Bradley Robb’s posts on the next decade of publishing (we’ll get back to it tomorrow). Instead, we’re talking blogging. I’m starting the conversation by posting over on Sylvia Dickey Smith Books.
Sylvia asked if I’d post about my blogging experience and what I’ve learned since I started blogging back in 2006. So, I’m talking about how I started and some things I see as ways to increase your own blog participation.
I have to say that I see all of you who stop by Straight From Hel as participants and friends. You are the reason I keep posting every day. You all (or y’all as we say in Texas) make it fun and a learning experience for me.
So, if you have time, click over to Sylvia’s blog (and check out her website; she’s a great author) and share your own ideas on blogging. See you there!

I'm headed over ...
ReplyDeleteCome on over. Y'all are the experts on blogging.
ReplyDeleteI consider you a friend, too, Helen. Now I'm headed to Sylvia's.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the post, Helen. As always, it's full of helpful and interesting advice.
ReplyDeleteJen, that's because there is a group of us who are aliens and we think on the same wavelength. We had a doozy planned for around Valentine's, but the mother ship has recalled us for a defective part. Turns out we weren't supposed to be blogging. Our assignment was jogging.
ReplyDeleteGood points, all, Helen. And thanks for sending folks my way. I'm excited to have them. I'll go put on the coffee.
ReplyDeleteYour post on Sylvia's blog is a great resource. I hope lots of writers get a chance to read it.
ReplyDeleteWill do!
ReplyDeleteWill do!
ReplyDeleteCoffee's on Sylvia! Yay! My pot just ran out.
ReplyDeleteHeading over...
ReplyDeleteOkey dokey, then!

I headed over to the blog where you posted blogging tips, which I appreciate, and I left a comment there.
ReplyDeleteThank you Terra. And thank you all for zipping over. Be sure to check out Sylvia's blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I found your blog a few weeks (months??) back. You always have such good advice :)
ReplyDeleteI'll head over now and take a look. I'm sure it's great advice, as always. Hope you have a terrific 2010!

Glad I found another Southern lady that knows what y'all is. Enjoy your post and I'll check out Syliva's links. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHey, Mason, I even know how to spell it. I've seen folks spell it ya'll, which Southerners know is incorrect.
ReplyDeleteHowdy!
Heading over there.
ReplyDeleteI've left you an award over at my blog :)
ReplyDeleteHi Helen,
ReplyDeleteGreat blog entry about blogging. Excellent tips. I tried to write my posts in advance when I first started blogging, but I work better under pressure.
I only blog 2 times a week. Do you think this is too little?
Thanks,
Jenn
Hi Helen - I headed over yesterday - great post and I like the blog too. Such an interesting world we have, no?
ReplyDeleteJust clicked over, great post.
