Thanks Ruth! And, yes, regularity is the key. Good luck with your New Year’s resolution. Are you going to do any planning, ie. an editorial calendar, to ensure your resolution succeeds?

Congratulations on the paid blogging gig!

One thing I learned (but still have yet to implement on my blog) is to post on a regular basis. That’s my resolution for 2008 anyhow

Thanks Mike! As I mentioned last night, I sense the water’s surface tension is just about to break and then who knows what will come next. Very exciting!

Blog on, Denise! It is an exciting time in history; our voices are being heard for the first time.

You summed up the blogging life well. I am just learning too, but its a fun process. I truly believe we can earn money from blogging with constant content and great connections. You have a great perspective that others need to read.

I am a slow typist as well (I type with my toes.), and patience is not my strongest quality, so I nodded along with this post.

Happy Blogging!

Isabella, I understand what you mean – never know what will pique interest in the blogosphere! In fact, the idea for this post struck while I was getting dressed yesterday morning and mulled it while eating breakfast; the idea hadn’t percolated long, like other posts have, but it has already been dugg 43 times. Go figure! Perhaps the lesson here is not over censor yourself, you never know what posts will take off.

Justin, I totally agree that posting consistently is key; readers need a reason to return and to engage. My biggest fear is running out of content to post. How do you maintain a steady flow of ideas and, subsequently, content posted regularly? Do you use an editorial calendar? That’s where I’m at the moment.

Tris, I’m glad you’ve found my blog now! Welcome. Yes, it was a pleasure meeting you in Vegas. Let’s talk some more; I’d love to hear more about Blog Nation. Northern Voices is definitely a possibility. It’d be great to get involved with the local blogging community.

Thanks Karla and Karen. The article will be on traveling with a disability; a topic I have some experience with!
