Oh well …… I was just having some fun.  After the laughter died down, a serious conversation started between myself and the editor of Bloggers Market;  what would a bullet format for New Bloggers look like, once someone has been Blogging for six months.  So after some thought, here goes:

Bullets For Bloggers!

• If you are not using WordPress as a stand alone install on your own host or your own server …… start! If you are going to compete with the pros work like one.
• If you don’t really understand that much HTML or other Web Languages, start learning. You don’t need to “crash course” it here. A couple of points a day should do it.
• Strictly manage your media images. If you avoid the WordPress Media Library, and hard code your images, you will have much more control over them. ( Editors Note: As Of September 2011 WordPress Media Library functions have greatly improved. I’m still not a fan of the Library producing multiple images though. )
• Spend time learning and updating your plug-ins. Be on the look out for new ones that do the same thing that your present plug-ins do, but better.
• Keep this in mind. If you want to change something with your template, always look for a plug-in first, before resorting to hard coding. Chances are good that there is a plug-in.
• Use Screen Shots of your code before you make any changes. Make Screen Shots of any changes you have made to your code and keep the two together in a file folder.
• Check any changes to your code or template across at least two browser platforms, Explorer and Firefox. What works in one, may not work in another.
• Check to make sure your links provided in your content posts are working properly. If they should change in the future, you will need to add the new codes.
• Check for broken links with advertisers on your homepage. If you have any affiliates sales or ads on your site, you will be amazed how often they break or change.
• Post content relevant to your niche, everyday! Use Special categories that you update say, …… on Saturdays or Sundays to spread your content around.
