Today I’m going to highlight a non hockey blog, Resa Michelle dot com. She is a great source for all things Apple and offers a personal touch with stories and insights. . .
I think personal blogs should be human, one way to do this is to include an image of yourself. It doesn’t need to be fancy but a photo helps readers remember that the writer of the blog is a person. Resa did this in her header and as you can see I do this in my side bar.
**Noteworthy: The search the site button in her header is a smart move..helps you; helps readers.
Keeping with the “keep it personal” meme the “about me” section of your blog is an opportunity to highlight your favorite subjects. Some blogs can do this so well that a tag cloud would be redundant, which is the case for Resa. Reading this section I wouldn’t be suprised to see a post about classes, general marketing thoughts, SEO, apple products, fashion, or Salsa. The about me section is on the TOP of her sidebar which is very cool.
Just above “the about” me section she offers very pretty graphic links to her online locations. Your twitter page, youtube channel, facebook account, flickr account etc. are like a list of spots you hang out online. Including them helps fans find you and keep up with what you are doing.
I haven’t talked about Comments much but they are really important! If you are lucky enough to have people so engaged that they are willing to comment (less than 5% of people will) you need to respect that. Comments are like a conversation with your blog. You started the conversation by posting a blog if someone answers back make sure you engage. This doesn’t just apply to private blogs, companies could learn this lesson as well. Look at what Resa does in the section above… someone comments she comments back, and instantly she has a fan.
