Blogs and more blogs

This month PC Magazine’s content comes suitably “reloaded” just as my ways. Apart from being Nadia Molina’s apparently last farewell, it focuses much on Blogs’ thematic offering us advice and beliefs of what has become an interesting web phenomenon.

It outcomes too much convincing the analysis between the differences on what is traditionally known as blogging and journalism.

Eduardo ARCOS, from Alt1040 shows us 7 tips for bloggers who want to succeed, an article with nothing that hasn’t been said before but masterly summarized by someone who started his blog in 2002, that is 5 years before Geofumadas, and also launched Hipertextual since 2005; the second most important business blog network in Spanish-speaking, indeed an opinion shared by most people.  Few days ago it was also launched the so-called advertising network Q.

Here are the 7 tips for bloggers:

• Find your place, one that really interests you and write about it.
• Don’t try to do in a blog what you read in your favorite magazine
• Blogs are a different expression channel and also operates different.  View, share, say and comment your opinions. Try to create discussion.
• Writing well in a blog does not mean the same like trying to write to a newspaper or a magazine
• Link, link, and more links.  A blog that does not link is like a lost island away from the Blogosphere.
• Be constant. It has no value to publish a lot for a week and then forget the blog for one month. Again, be constant.
• If you don’t have good content, the best design of the world won’t help you. Blogs are mainly what is read on them, I mean the content, not its appereance.

Oh, I’m forgetting to tell that the stark moral (a Spanish idiom: cruda moral) in me, has already passed.
