Advice For Novice Bloggers
One of the better writers out in the blogosphere is Sister Toldjah (She has been on my blogroll for some time) who has written an exceptional bit of advice to new bloggers. If you are thinking about blogging and need a little good advice, check her post out. You won't go wrong. She has another equally good post here.
UPDATE: My friend Raven also has some excellent advice for Novice Bloggers here.

I wish that I'd had these lists of tips when I first started out. I learned most of the information the hard way.

Thanks! Information is the best kind of wealth to redistribute.
Another suggestion is to BACK UP your material. I do it monthly, probably should do so more frequently. For peace of mind, at least. I've heard of at least one blogger whose entire site crashed - lost everything.

Lost everything? I hope he was a liberal. On the other hand, he might start demanding government programs for that.

Thanks, Woody
You know we newbies are always in need of good advice, and we can never get enough of it! Thank goodness there is such a good community of people out here in the blogosphere who gain by sharing their knowledge, rather than hoarding it in a mistaken belief that it will make you seem somehow smarter.
Only through gaining and disseminating knowledge can we guarantee our continued freedom - Knowledge truly is power!

Oops! I meant GM - I was looking at Woody's name on the posting above what I was typing (I think I'm having a premature senior moment....) But the thanks are just as heartfelt!

I regularly back up my best articles. I even save some of the HTML from the template. I probably should do that latter more regularly.
