- Include a list of related posts beneath each post
- Allow users to contact you offline
- Present your real viewpoint
- Write for your future employer
- Include a “top posts” section
- Provide an index
- Get your own URL and match it to your blog’s title
- Include a “recent posts” section in your sidebar
- Reward commenters for commenting
- Post often
