Today, I'm participating in the Blogger Ball going on through SheWrites.com. So welcome all you SheWrites bloggers. Please feel free to look around while you're here. And let me welcome my wonderful followers as well. It's always nice to see you all.

Because of the Blogger Ball, I'm going to share some blogging tips I've learned.

Be consistent I have a set Monday, Wednesday, Friday blog schedule, and I try not to break that pattern so my visitors know when to stop by for a new post.Respond to comments Replying to the comments people leave on your blog is easy and doesn't take a lot of time. Get a conversation going with your readers so they'll come back again.Start a discussion I like to make sure my posts start discussions instead of being one-sided. I'll usually pose a question at the end of my posts to spark a discussion. Again, it's about starting a conversation with your readers.Keep it short People are more likely to read your post if it isn't too long. Get to the point and keep it brief.Visit other blogs If you want people to stop by your blog and even becoming followers, then you need to stop by other people's blogs and do the same.Those are my blogging tips. What are some of yours?
