I’ve just added another free guide to my growing blog consulting guides area (22 and counting).

It’s called How to Improve Your Blog Community. It includes my best advice from more than three years as a blog network editor, social media event organizer and new media consultant.

Specifically, it covers the following:

• What a blog community is
• Why your blog community matters
• 4 common aspects of all communities
• 10 ways to measure blog community growth
• 5 steps to building your blog community
• How to get “unstuck” in your community-building efforts
• 6 excellent resources for further reading

Let me know what you think! More guides coming soon …

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.
