I'm a new blogger and learning my way around. I found your tips to be enlightening and will certainly be putting them into practice. I find the "Debugging XSS Attacks" particulary interesting and will be getting indepth with it to learn how to protect myself, and I've got much to learn it appears. My thing is building websites using Photoshop. Blogging is much different, but I'm having fun learning it. Thanks for the insightful information you offer here. I will be a regular visitor. -Barb I happened to come across your blog while searching and glad I found it. I’m a new blogger and learning my way around.

Thanks to Alex for making this handy list of tips. Right now, I feel kinda goofy writing about my current topic of expertise/passion, which is job hunting. I think the resistance I feel is primarily due to the fact that as Alex pointed out, it's permanent. Hopefully, I'll find a gracious and forgiving group of bloggers who like my subject matter and I'll be approving more comments to my blog than I'll be rejecting. And secondly, I'm presenting the material as myself, not an online player name that grants me anonymity. And that's still a bit unnerving still. What's more, in real life, you can usually see your audience and address questions or problems before they arise. Here, you broadcast your message to cyberspace and hope it turns out well. I know in time, I'll adjust, and probably sooner than I think. But those first few steps identifying yourself and your opinion to the world can feel a bit daring. Again, thank you, Alex. I hope my blog starts off on the right foot with your advice. -Misti *bumps a dormant thread*

Who's "we"? I for one enjoy the random non-technical posts in a technical blog. It adds a human element to the blog, making me feel like the writer is more well-rounded and real, with more interests than just in technology. :) “While we may be interested to read about your thoughts on business or technology, a discussion of your pets doesn’t fit there.”

Create separate directories or even separate blogs. It just doesn't make sense to have a blog focused on business and technology and then you start posting (even occasional) messages about your dog (or whatever).

I have a question about #2 though. Would you recommend installing a blog in your public_html directory, so your blog would be at myhome.com rather than myhome.com/blog? Would there be any disadvantages of doing it this way? Thanks! PS Thanks also for providing some great themes for wp! :) These are great tips Alex. I have a question about #2 though.
