Five Things to Improve Your blog (plus One)

A good list of five ways to improve your blog in under an hour, by Brian Shih. The five things are: use feedburner, ping aggregators, fix your typography, use spell check (does spellbound work on FF 1.5.1?) and just write something!

I would add: write an about page with a brief bio and maybe a picture. Too many blogs are missing this, and its very annoying to not have any idea who the author is. If you can’t take the time to write a blurb about yourself, I’m not going take the time to follow your feed everday.

It has some great tips. I find the reading one to be true, although I do ask that people stop by some of my blogs from time to time.

Try out http://crimsonlight.com when you have some time to read. :)
