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

What method do you recommend for getting more visitors on your blog and keeping them as regular visitors?

"Followers" is Tumblr and Twitter speak. Outside that walled garden, the term is unspecific, which means that you will get a lot of answers that miss your point. Terms that are specific are (unique) hits, visitors, regulars, RSS subscribers, Tumblr followers, etc. – Kiwi Aug 12 '10 at 22:47

If a blog has no archives, but updates and only shows one post for the entire blog at any time, is it still a blog?
added by random Jul 30 '10 at 4:15

NaGE. Seems odd to be trying to define blog by presentation rather than content. But it's also very subjective in how it is asked. – mfg Feb 8 '11 at 17:03

@Sandy: Indeed it is, it's effectively asking for recommendations on style. – Noldorin Jul 27 '10 at 12:01

What is "flipping a blog" mean?
added by random Jul 30 '10 at 4:12

You would only go here if you already new what a blog was and had a specific question. Other resources are avbalble for people who need help with the generics. I would suggest a question that is less vague. Like, What is a live blog as compared to twitter?, or What kind of blog services are easiest to use? ... etc. – Justin Sep 8 '10 at 21:28

+1 for off-topic. I don't think this is necessarily a bad question, so long as not every blogging newbie spams the site with such questions. – Noldorin Jul 27 '10 at 8:51

It would be ok if it was asking for specific feedback, but "what do you think..." questions should be off-topic. – BenV Jul 27 '10 at 18:54

Down-vote why? Curious that people are mind-reading my intentions for this site. – Noldorin Jul 27 '10 at 8:49
I have no idea what SEO/SEM mean... – Noldorin Jul 27 '10 at 8:51
@Noldorin : SEO == Search Engine Optimization, I think SEM == Search Engine Monetization – warren Aug 4 '10 at 18:41
