1. Post regularly, but don’t post if you have nothing worth posting about.

2. Stick with only a few specific genres to talk about.

3. Don’t put ‘subscribe’ and ‘vote me’ links all over the front page until you have people that like your blog enough to ignore them (they’re usually just in the way).

4. Use a clean and simple theme if at all possible.

5. Enjoy, blog for fun, comment on other peoples’ blogs
