“Ten Things I Believe Bloggers Do Wrong”
Wednesday, Feb 23, 2005 - Posted by Rich Miller Raw360 has some very good advice for all of us who are doing this blog thingy. 1. Only link to what we’ve already read and only say what we’ve already heard. Most bloggers will go through this stage at some point, but ask yourself why they should be reading you instead of InstaPundit if you’re taking all your links from IP and why they should be reading you instead of RightWingNews or Daily Kos when your point of view is virtually identical. The rest of it is very good and I found myself cringing a couple of times. If you blog, or even if you read a lot of blogs, try to take a minute to look at the entire post.

Thanks for the link.
One thing I strive for that I wish others would do is to establish a niche of expertise or specialization.
I appreciate Illinoisans blogging on national issues, but if you’re not saying anything about state and local stuff, why wouldn’t I just go to the big national blogs?

Exactly.

I wonder if there’s a good ratio to go for.
One post on state or local stuff for every post on national stuff?
