What’s In Your Sidebar?

24 CommentsBlogging, WordPress

On almost 96% of blogs that you visit on the internet, you will notice that there is a sidebar on the right side of the blog, on the left side or sometimes on both side. Even I use it on my blog.

This sidebar is a really important addition to each and every blog. It is important as the content/body of your blog and you have to make good choice of what you place inside your sidebar. You might not think that your sidebar doesn’t have that much importance, but think again.

I bet if you do a survey on your blog’s sidebar, you would be surprised on some of the responses that you get from your visitors because they take keen interest in what you place there.

Should You Force Yourself To Blog?

21 CommentsBlogging,

Should you force yourself to blog?

As a blogger, should you be forcing yourself to write blog posts?

In all manner of aspects, the answer should be no.

If you don’t feel like blogging then you shouldn’t be blogging. You or nobody should be forcing yourself to write blog posts if you are not in the mood.

When you are writing a new blog post, you should feel the passion for writing it. Writing should come naturally. You shouldn’t be going to other blogs to steal other people’s information and passing them off as your own writing, because deep down inside you feel terrible when your blog readers make a comment thanking you and thinking that you were the author of this blog post.

Don’t get me wrong, GoDaddy is a really great place to host your sites so this post is not going against Godaddy’s hosting service, but I felt the need for a change.

So, Why Did I Move The Blog?
