101. Managing a Blog Bloggers Code of Conduct Take responsibility not just for your own words, but for the comments you allow on your blog. Label your tolerance level for abusive comments. Consider eliminating anonymous comments. Ignore the trolls. Take the conversation offline, and talk directly, or find an intermediary who can do so. If you know someone who is behaving badly, tell them so. Don't say anything online that you wouldn't say in person.

Tweet links to other content, use a human face instead of a logo. Pretty girls work best, however veterinarians like boys (know your audience), follow other units, departments and colleges at your institution, fail fast, fail forward and learn.

1. Make your opinion knownPeople like blogs, they like blogs because they are written by people and not corporations. People want to know what people think, crazy as it sounds they want to know what you think. Tell them exactly what you think using the least amount of words possible.2. Link like crazy.Support your post with links to other web pages that are contextual to your post.3. Write LessGive the maximum amount of information with the least amount of words. Time is finite and people are infinitely busy. Blast your knowledge into the reader at the speed of sound.4. 250 is enoughA long post is easier to forget and harder to get into. A short post is the opposite.5. Make Headlines snappyContain your whole argument in your headline. Check out National newspapers to see how they do it.6. Include bullet point listsWe all love lists, it structures the info in an easily digestible format.7. Make your posts easy to scanEvery few paragraphs insert a sub heading. Make sentences and headlines short and to the point.8. Be consistent with your stylePeople like to know what to expect, once you have settled on a style for your audience stick to it.9. Litter the post with Keywords.Think about what keywords people would use to search for your post and include them in the body text and headers. make sure the keyword placement is natural and does not seem out of place.10. Edit your postGood writing is in the editing. Before you hit the submit button, re-read your post and cut out the stuff that you don’t need.
YouTube for embedding purposes. Notice the faces, those are my friends, I think “if they like it…” peer pressure marketing.
