Thanks, I found this post really useful!. I’ve been blogging for about one month, working hard to pass the learning curve. But I’m really enjoying this period since as you write, it has as opened a complete new world to me.
Again thanks for your advice. I would only add basic tips to avoid plagiarism by linking correctly your sources.

Great inspirational post. A change of scenery is always always advice because it is easy to get stuck in a certain environment or pattern. Variation is important and often works very motivating.

@Jeremy Steele: Google has a ‘request for deletion’ policy if you really don’t want that one post to show up in your resume ;) But think before you speak/write is always the best advice.

What a wake up call. I often forget my choices of keywords.
I agree on blogging doesn’t have to be about one topic, but it better relates one another if any.

Great post, with many points to think about.

One area I am weak in is keywords, so on reading this I’ve decided that when I come up with a subject for a blog post, I’ll try to think how I would search for it and build some of those phrases in.

@Jeremy Steele: You said it better than I did when I said that everything you say will be held against you...ah, your blog is your resume. :D You're right.

Great post, but I know one to add to the list. “Everything you say on your blog is stuck in the tubes forever”. Seriously, if you said something really bad and then deleted it later on, chances are it is cached on some internet archive, splog, content aggregator, etc.
