Blogging Tips: Building a Better Blog

1.- We read from left to right: Taylor Davies IFB so keep text aligned to the left side, and important content above the fold.
1.-Leemos de izquierda a derecha: Taylor Davies IFB, así es que alinea el texto a la izquierda y el contesto importante en la parte superior.

2- Keep a simple white layout. No fancy colours, gadgets or popping up elements that distracts the attention from the the content of your post.
2.- Mantén un fondo blanco, sin colorines, gadgets ni elementos que distraigan del  contenido de tu post.


3.-Avoid music.
Nothing worse than opening a blog with a recurrent soundtrack.
3.-
Evita la música. No hay nada peor que abrir un blog con banda sonora.



4.-Offer original content. Make the blog your voice in a world of chatter.
4.- Ofrece contenido original. Convierte el blog en tu voz en un mundo de parloteo.

5- Check your writing and spelling before posting.
5.- Comprueba tu escritura y ortografía antes de lanzar un post.


6– Post regularly.
6.-
Postea con regularidad.



7.- Post photos with a minimum quality and size. NEVER  too many of the same outfit, 3 or 4 is more than enough.
7- Presenta fotos con una calidad y tamaño mínimos. NUNCA demasiadad de un mismo atuendo, 3 o 4 son más que suficientes.

8.- Use the Net for people to find your blog: Twitter, Facebook, tumbler, Google+, etc.
8.- Usa los medios a tu alcance para dar a conocer tus contenidos: twitter, facebook, tumbler, google+, etc


9.- If you want to be followed start  by following.
9.- Si quieres que te sigan empieza por seguir.


10.- Avoid blog overbranding.
I understand that blogging is for some a way of earning a living, and that is ok as long as it doesn´t become a narcotic diffusion that ends up boring the readers and shutting the voice of the person behind the blog .
10.- Comprendo que el blog es para algun@s una forma de ganarse la vida, y eso es muy válido siempre y cuando no se convierta en una difusión narcotizante que aburra al lector y acalle a la persona detrás del blog.

11.-  Avoid a slow loading blog                                          
A slow loading blog is a real deterrent for your readers who don´t have much time.
 - check the number of posts on your first page
The least posts the faster the loading- 3 or 4 posts top.
 -The size of the photo is important. Extremely big photos are heavy to load.
-If you are on Blogger use their own links, Widgets and Java Script.
-If you have to use outside Java Script and links place them at the bottom right hand side
11.- Un blog que se carga con mucha lentitud es un freno para tus lectores que no tienen tiempo.
 -Comprueba el número de post en la primera página. 3 o 4 post máximo.
 -El tamaño de las fotos es importante. Fotos extremadamente grandes son pesadas.
 -Si estás en Blogger utiliza sus propios Links, widgets y Java Script.
-Si necesitas importar enlaces o Java Script de terceros colócalos en el lado derecho y al final.


12-Feature and be featured in other blogs. It is a wonderful way to spread the love for other bloggers and multiply your readers.
12-Presenta y aparece en otros blogs. Es una maravillosa forma de compañerismo bloguero y de multiplicar lectores.

  2. Aww, I love this! The only point I kinda disagree with is the "keep a simple white layout." I love white layouts, but I love colourful ones as well. :) But, overall, excellent advice from an excellent blogger! PS - I absolutely adore your oufit in the post below this. :)

  6. There's so much wisdom in your words of advice dear Sacramento! I agree against enormous, slow loading photos, but I'd also argue against too-small photos, where one can't see the image clearly.

    Your blog is looking so professional and smart! Very nicely done my dear.

  10. Excellent tips! I've had to go back to allowing anonymous commenting though, as some of my loyal readers are only able to comment that way. I'll just have to be vigilant about the spam...

  12. I'm pretty new and I got some very helpful tips from Sarah @Misfits. She told me about the word verification (thank goodness! I had no idea) and she told me to actually make my photos bigger :) Blogging is tricky!! Thanks for the tips!!

  13. Muy buenos consejos, el de la ortografía para mi es fundamental y Yo lo hubiera puesto en primer lugar. la calidad de un blog se puede ir al traste por una sola falta de ortografía. Y fuera la verificación de palabra, es un engorro!

  14. un nuevo diseño más ligero y elegante, la cabecera me gusta mucho, y también la tipografía!

  20. It's always good to read a list like this no matter how many times you've heard it before or if you logically already know it. I like the last point that commenting is a two way street it disappoints me the number of "successful" bloggers who don't even engage in a bit of regular back and forth discussion through their comments or other social media avenues.

    ResponderEliminar
  21. I absolutely LOVE your new layout! It's cleaner and simpler without loosing the original character which mirrors you!

  22. Wonderful advices! Kisses x x x x

  26. I do agree with a lot of your points, especially about commenting (bloggers who post and use link up opportunities but who rarely comment are a pet peeve of mine!)
    But as far as layout and colours and background, etc, go, I think that's a personal choice, I would hate all blogs to look the same. There are preferences, but no rules, I think!

  27. Some good points I agree with but if I did a white background I'd have to change my whole blog and that's a bigger can of worms than I'm able to deal with right now!

  32. As I'm still pretty new to blogging I was really interested to read this Sacramento, though I like colourful and crazy blogs too. The advice about slow loading blogs and over large photos were things I hadn't even thought about before. xx

  33. Really great advice! I agree with all the points! Let me know if you think I need to change some stuff on my blog - I'm always looking to improve the blog!!

  44. Hola Sacramento! The tips are all perfect, have read carefully them all and I agree. Thanks for sharing, you are always helpful and brilliant! Have a nice day mia cara, mille baci!!:*

    ResponderEliminar
  45. These are great tips doll!! I have a decorated background because a plain one isn't for me, mine reflects my personality and I think everyone's should, as long as it doesn't detract from reading the content like flashing backgrounds or too dark that I can't see the font or something like that. Otherwise, express and be different. Yes to no word verification, approve the comments if you must, having to type in letters and numbers I can barely see gets tiresome. Super post my sweet. And a few great photos with different poses is great instead of the same pose in 5 pictures, haha. I hope your day is going great!! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

  46. i was talking to my best friend today only about discontinuing blogging..i am feeling fed up that the media here is really rude and especially to plus sized people..but she asked me to continue talking about a voice..i don't know if i have a strong enough one that can sustain itself..

    ResponderEliminar
  47. oh gosh, word verification! it takes up so much of my time when i have to do that. you introduced me to that and the arrow this week. you always give the best tips. outfit posts should be kept to 4-5 pics. some bloggers post wayyyy too many.

  52. Estupendos consejos, siempre viene bien recordarlos y no descuidar nuestro pequeño rincón. Bss.

  53. Totally agree. I don't have the box Comments in my Settings. So I cannot tick No.
    But for the rest I hope I comply. Have you ever had trouble loading up my pages?

  54. Great tips. However, number 8 "minimum quality and size", did they mean minimum quantity (but maximum quality!) :-)
