Wow, two great answers, thank you.

I don't see them as off topic, we are all here to better our blogs.

^ I am actually planning a blog post with this and a lot of other helpful material in it. I think that the basics can be learned or understood by everyone for the most part.

If you have questions, let me know and I'll do my best to answer.

And yes, content should drive your visitors. I like to think of my blog as my online journal (separate from my paper one) that others can read. And, if they want to read it, than that's the ultimate compliment.

Agreed. Everyone in this thread likes to blog and I am sure that many would like info from those farther along this trail.

Dearest Aurarcana
Thank you for sharing your knowlegde.
I don't think that have mentioned categories (or did I) Anyway I tried to differentiate between tags and metadata.
I have a few categories and a LOT of tags on my blog(s). I'm trying not to blur them and not have tags labelled the same as categories. I also trying to have quite unambiguous labels for my categories, whereas the tags can be more "lyrical".
Love, Gazel

I can't remember if I posted in this thread or not, but my blog address changed when I re-organized my website. It's here now: http://tarotbymelissa.com/blog/

I am trying to post more often. Really, seriously, I promise!
