Quality, not quantity. These are SUCH good tips, all of them SO important. When i first started blogging I had NO idea what a 'meme' was, linkys, or anything. I LOVE other bloggers, but I love READERS, as well! <br /><br />It is SO true about commenting, and commenting often. It's THE best way to meet other bloggers, and one of the single best ways to drive traffic back to your own blog. I sometimes struggle with it... I used to reply back to EVERY comment I received, and while I find I literally CAN'T now (if I do, it means I don't read, or I don't write a review, or I don't actually READ other blogs and comment then!), but I always try... and well, ultimately, I love books. I love talking about them, and I love reading other people's reviews, so it's not exactly a chore ;D<br /><br />Oh, seriously, these are FABULOUS tips--thank you so much for sharing! xxSarah (saz101)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08936602748682093150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017872740008673059.post-86260543156065045982012-04-18T04:24:01.096-04:002012-04-18T04:24:01.096-04:00Thanks for commenting on my TTT :)

This is...I LOVE your take on Tips for Old Bloggers! This is just what I needed. <br /><br />I've been book blogging for just over 3.5 yrs and sometimes we forget this stuff. I think I'm doing pretty well, but I'm not sharing my knowledge. I don't think anybody wants to know! If I'm asked though, I'll be sure to help out! Maybe I should do a few posts? We'll see what I can drum up.MARY IN SCOTLAND https://www.blogger.com/profile/04390613561715464322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017872740008673059.post-17738062749140509632012-04-17T16:38:40.526-04:002012-04-17T16:38:40.526-04:00Megan, your blog is not too simplistic!

And I especially like your tip about blogging for readers- it took me ages to figure out what an ARC was or what DNF meant when I was just a lurker. Then again, I am guilty of using jargon on my own newbie blog, so I guess this is good advice for all of us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017872740008673059.post-71253396592436406052012-04-17T13:28:27.938-04:002012-04-17T13:28:27.938-04:00Great tips.

Yes, we...What a brilliant post! :D Love your tips. Yes, we sure need to keep the blog tidy, accessible and simple enough for everyone... How about reciprocating? Like if we have someone who's taking the time out to comment on our blogs, we should at least let them know we've read it and appreciate it? That's for someone who isn't very very busy. Though many don't care or expect much, but it's always nice to know the other person's acknowledging you. You agree on this?Ashna https://www.blogger.com/profile/12736664196142668981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017872740008673059.post-50522537704082871512012-04-17T12:45:48.218-04:002012-04-17T12:45:48.218-04:00I agree about keeping your blog tidy.

My blog may be TOO simplistic but I don't like clutter so I'd rather have it that way! <br /><br />I agree with all of your points though, and sharing your knowledge is important to me too.
