Thank you Denvy for the wonderful quick link which provided me with superb information in regards to marketing your blog. I read several of the links and have compiled a favorite list of ideas for my own use. The link for beginners was especially useful as I still consider myself a novice. I especially will take heed to two of the suggestions in that article: Thinking of your blog title as a headline (luring and enticing your readers). This kind of reminds me of that "anticipatory set" that we teachers all know about. Hooking in that audience, making them want more. Secondly, I like the straightforward language around defining your goals and maintaining a consistent design and focus. If you know who you audience is, why try to change who you are writing for. Sometimes the most basic reminders are those details that many of us forget. The fundamental skills that are the building blocks and foundations any solid endeavor.
