"Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. (a shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences and hobbies) "postings on a blog are usually in chronological order"
More About Blog:
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a focused subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic.
The ability for readers to drop comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (photoblog), photographs (photoblog), sketches (sketchblog), videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting).
Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.

1. Make your opinion known
People like blogs, they like blogs because they are written by people and not corporations. People want to know what other 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.

Give 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.

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 post
Good 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.

One of the many mistakes to avoid when posting a comment is;
ReplyDeleteCommenting on the wrong post.
If you're reading a few posts in one go, make sure you post the right comments on the right posts!
Also, if you have a comment on an earlier post but you can't find it, don't try and post your comments on the latest post. Either search for the older post, or contact the blogger to ask if they can link you to the post you want to comment on.
It makes it so much easier to follow the discussion if the comments stay fairly on-topic.
