Share 3 things you are essential tried and true practices for every blogger and 1-3 new trends or tools you’ve adapted recently or would like to in the future.
Interesting topic and I’d be interested to read what others have written. But let’s not pontificate:
Tried & True:
1) Comment on other blogs – karma’s great.
2) Personalize the posts. Sure it’s nice to hear a synopsis, but I want to also know about the person.
3) Quality trumps quantity!
New Trends and/or Tools:
1) Get your own domain – it’s affordable, professional and looks great on a business card
2) Editorial calendars are a blessing. I use WordPress Editorial Calendar
3) Read out of your comfort zone, even if you don’t like it at first it will make you a better person, reader and blogger.

I love having my own domain, and Editorial Calendar is great! I think I heard about it from another blogger a while back. I love finding tools like that through other bloggers who use and love them.
some sage advice here, especially the, Comment on other blogs – karma’s great, as is replying to comments, creating a dialogue a connection.
Sage advice. Especially love the suggestion to read out of your comfort zone- you may find a whole new kind of writing to love, and at the very least, it will get those grey cells working.
All great tips. And thanks for the heads up about Editorial Calendar! I think I need that one :)
Read out of your comfort zone - seriously, this is the best thing I've done since I started a book blog - and I've discovered a love for many non-fiction books that I may never have picked up otherwise!
