We recently announced the creation of a new Blog Improvement Resource List. We intend to make it the best list anywhere of resources to help you improve your blog in every way.

And now there are over 100 new resources listed! Check it out. (Note: It’s a bit messy at the moment, but we’ll get the formatting fixed up as soon as possible.)

We’d love for you to suggest new resources to be added to the list, which you can do by filling out the simple form at the top of the resource list page. We’ll gladly include a link to your website once we add your recommended blogging resources to the list.

Just published my first weekly post for The Blog Herald, “5 Ways to Imitate the 10 Most Popular Blogs.”

Check it out, leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Thanks to Thord and the gang for giving me this incredible opportunity.

Did you know you can use blog software to create an online magazine?

For whom is your blog?

Who writes the blog posts?

Who typically leaves comments?

Who’s the target reader? The target buyer?

Who your blog?

Why your blog? Why did you create it?
Why your blog? Why is it special?
Why your blog? Why did you choose the blog format?
Can a new visitor tell me “why your blog” within 10 seconds?
Can you?
Why your blog?

Did you attend the SOBCon08 business blogging conference last week in Chicago?

If so, I have an idea.

If not, I have an idea.

Let’s take a blogging/business step forward together in May 2008.

Let’s each put a piece of SOBCon advice into practice in our online efforts by the end of this month.

Why?

Well, why not?

Want to know who’s attending the SOBCon08 business blogging conference? I’ve made an unofficial SOBCon08 directory to help you learn about SOBCon08 attendees, speakers and lessons learned at SOBCon.

Please register and help me improve the list.

Last week we defined visionary blogging and named the 5 key elements of vision. (We’ll discuss each element in detail soon.)

That explains “visionary.”

But what about “blogging?”
