Give the readers a good reason to visit your blog to find the information they want. When feedback is given on your blog, respond to it. However, do not let it emotionally affect you. Regardless of the topic, someone is always going to have something critical to say. Use the constructive criticism you receive to upgrade your blog. If somebody is hostile, combative or negative, write a polite, calm response thanking them for their input. Don't engage such commenters; just thank them and forget about their opinion. You will show maturity and, ultimately, grow your readership. Learn to use lists effectively in your blog. Whether you are blog posting about cooking and the various ingredients and tools you need to make a certain dish, or the parts you need to overhaul the engine of a 1967 VW van, lists are important. Lists help organize the information for readers so they can easily digest it.
