While it is important for blog health to post on a regular basis, it’s equally important to not push that publish button too soon. While I usually don’t make many spelling mistakes (well, except ones like…this one), I am sort of guilty of being long winded. Sometimes I just start typing and…well, when I’m done, sometimes I’m not totally satisfied with the post. For example, episode one of “Awesome or Not” was originally about four times longer. In the end, it didn’t feel right, like I was forcing the post rather than just writing for fun.
So I scrapped it and wrote it again a few days later. This time it felt more natural. Point is, even if a post is time sensitive and you want to get it out as fast as possible, you’re better off proofreading and making sure you’re satisfied with it first. Of course, post quality is far more important than quantity.
Remember, your blog is your voice, your little piece of the net to tell people how you make money online, how much you hate Ghost Rider or whatever…that time you found clown porn on the internet. No matter what you say, you should be satisfied with how you said it so don’t try to force the words onto the page. Blogs should feel natural and personal.

ReplyHey Charles. Are you and Ed related? Do you call him “Cousin Ed”?
Replyhaaha He’s not my relative.. I would want to be his friend if he don’t mind..
ReplyI may have to break down and try a blog again - rules, demands, responsibilities….SCREAM. Good post, you make it look easy.
