Jason, some changes are much more palatable than others == when we embrace that which does us good then the initial pain of change fades away.

Thanks for the tips. I have the most trouble with the last tip–I hate change, even though I know it is vital.

Larry, it is a double-edge sword when it comes to blog comments. I agree that if comments are not being moderated frequently, then it isn’t very fair to the person leaving the comment. That is why I try to moderate the site throughout the day — I get email notifications when they come in — and I’ll pop in on weekends to see how things are going.

Let me know what you think of the Entrecard — I haven’t done it yet.

As always, good stuff Matt. I think I need to step out. Been contemplating EntreCard for a while, maybe I’ll take a peek at it tonight!

Not sure if i agree on moderating comments though…I personally don’t like it when blogs do that, especially when they don’t review them frequently and it takes hours (and even days) for your comment to show up.

Also, learn to write many post in one short and get them auto posted. This way, you fight less writers’ block and get some writing inertia to write more posts.

In short, write from your heart

Thanks Matt, it works well once you get to grips with it, and it’s a nice layout for those who come to the front page first

Stirlyn, I appreciate your comments and welcome your return. BTW, I like the Mimbo theme on your blog, something I have considered for other blogs that I manage.

Finding your voice is very good advice especially for those new to writing. It distinguishes you from every other blogger and will become the reason why people will want to visit your blog often.

I have just found your blog and will be back again.
