Proposed Q&A site for people actively involved in the blogosphere; writing their own blogs, wanting to start up a blog, or just interested in what to read.

Announcements

It could help if we broaden the scope of this proposal. Included User interactive sites (Social Networks) many of them have micro blogging features, and its not that bad of a leap. – Justin Sep 7 '10 at 21:37

I'm afraid I can't agree. It's broad enough as it is and I want it to stay focused on blogging... perhaps the odd question as such will be permitted though. – Noldorin Sep 8 '10 at 21:42

Advice may be a bit too general, but I think the question is very interesting (maybe not for individual bloggers, but maybe for startups)... – Barthelemy Oct 7 '10 at 10:05

This question does not relate to the topic of the proposal.
It was closed as part of an automated migration of off-topic to close votes on September 29, 2011.

So if I understand correctly, technical questions about blogging software are off-topic? Or is it because this one is more about theming? – Barthelemy Oct 7 '10 at 10:03
It seems this prop should be about the confluence not only of content creation but also presentation and design. Bloggers cannot afford to separate the two. Webmasters.se is a good site, but bloggers would likely learn more from each other than they would getting too far down the rabbit hole SEO. – mfg Feb 8 '11 at 17:01

Subset questions could be related to specific hosting providers: Some allow one click update (via Dashboard), while on others one has to explicitly give permissions (or update manually). – vpuri Jan 8 '11 at 13:58

In what ways do you use data from analytic services (Google/Piwik/bit.ly) to increase (and sustain) traffic to your blog?
added by vpuri, edited by WikiSpeedia hang-around May 4 '11 at 6:39
link|flag
I think this would be a question more sutable for webmasters.SE – frennky Jan 27 '11 at 11:55
hmm..I was more into analysing the analytic data for what content I write, what content draws more readers. It might be important for niche blog writers. Not the keywords or the SEO thing. Perhaps I didn't frame the question too well. :) – vpuri Jan 27 '11 at 14:37
It is a good question for webmasters. But it's also good to hear how content creators approach this problem. – mfg Feb 8 '11 at 17:05
