The Tlog - a technology blog

Darren Rowse has done it again. “18 Lessons I’ve Learnt as a Blogger” is an absolutely fantastic, comprehensive post, of the kind I wish my own blogs had (they will, but not yet).

The lessons Darren speaks of (and expands on, of course) are:

1. Be Lucky
2. Work Hard
3. Use the Power of Exponential Growth
4. Differentiate Yourself
5. Provide Value
6. Target a Niche
7. Diversify
8. Don’t Spread Self too Thin
9. Have a Backup Plan
10. Be Light on Your Feet
11. Relationships are Key
12. Establish Boundaries
13. Don’t read your Own Press
14. Beware of Hype
15. Get a Life
16. Make Mistakes
17. Be Yourself
18. There are No Rules

Read it. You won’t regret it.
