Facibus On Blogging

My Top 5 from day 2 of the Problogger writing competition are:

• Top 5 glimpses into my secret nude diary: OK, I admit it, I looked at this one - and was surprised to find that the “nudes” were tastefully drawn pencil sketches from a visual diary. Really
• Top 5 beach locations for the Australian IT commuter: Like myself, Vincent is an Aussie consultant - but he’s rated the top five beach-side locations within easy reach of IT client sites. I can’t say I haven’t considered it in the past, especially now that Canberra is just sliding into the cold of winter
• Top 5 reasons not to get married: very funny, at least for those who have never been married
• Top 5 reasons for multiple blogs under a single domain: I like this because it confirms a decision that I made a couple of weeks back. People like to hear information that confirms their choices. Thanks I’ve put Facibus Reviews, Facibus On Blogging, OnWii and Faux Cuisine under the one domain name with no regrets so far.
• Top 5 ways to beat blogger’s block: I don’t agree with everything that this post says - for example, writing short posts frequently is a good way to get into the blogging habit, and it is good for google, but I know from personal experience that my longer posts are the ones that will get more traffic over time. I do write short posts too, but these are usually of the “have a look at this cool thing!” nature rather than anything weighty. All that said, it is excellent advice from a professional writing coach and well worth the read.
