You are welcome, Deborah. Your blog has actually inspired me to use pictures across my network of blogs, something that my customers seem to appreciate as well.

Proofreading is essential — I wish more bloggers would do it. I don’t take anyone seriously if their blog is full of typographical errors and grammatical mistakes.

Thanks so much for the mention Matt, I’m truly flattered

You make some excellent points. Title is key to instill interest to read an article to begin with.

As far as photos go, I would never consider publishing anything without them; it makes for a more enjoyable read, and numerous images help to maintain reader interest throughout.

I always proofread before uploading the post to the blog. Once all images and formatting are in place, I always preview the post before hitting publish as well. I never fail to find the odd typo or error at that stage. Errors reduce your reader’s trust, no matter how slight they may be.

Over-use of widgets on blogs makes me run the other way. I try to keep mine down to a minimum for a quicker load, and to maintain a ‘clean’ appearance.

Great tips Matt.

You got that right, Barry. Professionalism is the key in that recognizing that blogging is a craft like anything else that we do.

That’s a useful checklist, Matthew. For me, the underlying theme here is to be a good craftsperson. In other words make sure you do the blogging thing professionally. Anything less will cause you to lose some of your readers.

Anthony, I certainly can appreciate that! Blogging does take a lot of work including the proofreading of everything that we write. It can be a grueling, but rewarding process.
