3 Blogging Tips
A few days ago, I recommended that serious bloggers pay a visit to Divya Uttam’s blog
Her latest post includes some very useful technical tips to get your Blog motoring. There are three points that, for me, really stand out.
1. How fast does your Blog load?
In the past few weeks, I’ve moved away from Fasthosts, whose servers are not as fast as those provided by I-point Direct. There’s been a marked improvement in access time.
2. Look out for broken or dead links
This is so frustrating isn’t it? The number of times I visit other Blogs and sites and hey presto, what I’m looking for has disappeared. This is nothing more than bad housekeeping and bad manners. You must do a regular audit of your links.
3. What are your most effective articles?
I would add, what are your most read static pages? This Blog has both. Some visit to see what I’m up to at “Latest News”, others want to view my “Presenter Showreel Preview” and some just like this Blog.
Your Blog is your on-line CV or resume. It ought to look professional.

Ive also moved servers. Loading is so important. Too slow and you’ll lose out
