Good Blog Writing Style There are already too many “good blog writing” articles out there but I find that Phillip does a very good job of putting together some good ideas. I try to follow almost every one of these (except for #1) and found myself nodding in agreement as I read through. Most of it also reminds me of stuff in the manual of style and of advice from teachers, professors and authors that I have tried to adhere to. The first link is the one most people click on, so it should also be the main link for your article. and Credit your sources with a mention and link. are golden.

Feedvertising Text-Link-Ads has released the beta version of their advertising service for feeds. I am a huge proponent of Text-Link-Ads and Feedvertising makes it easier for bloggers (especially bloggers using WordPress) to display ads in their feeds. Not only can you offer ads from advertisers, you can also reserve spots to highlight your own links and sites.

Business of Blogging, Cool Scripts

OPML browser: Grazr Online, AJAX and free OPML browser for your blog or webpage. Interesting concept with an extensive writeup on TechCrunch. The interface is still quite fast and it seems to respond and load quickly even after being TechCrunched. I still have a problem with the actual use of such a tool on any blog. The general public will not find it very useful and without significant indentity management and it is quite useless as an actual feed reader. Marshall from TechCrunch suggests the New York Times RSS page as an example of a page that could benefit from Grazr but I have to disagree. I personally would visit that RSS collection to pick and choose feeds for my feedreader and rather like the granularity it provides. Notwithstanding the usability of the NYTimes RSS page, Grazr would just be confusing. In addition, I still have to figure out how […]

Blogcamp India Sounds like the Blogcamp India and the Blogging unconferences were a success. I wish I could have been there. Dina has blogged quite a few details on the conference and it sounds like they are doing something right.

10 Ways to Eliminate the Echo Chamber Chris talks about ways to reduce the “Echo Chamber Effect”. Darren has a good writeup on this list and there is some buzz in the blogoshpere following Chris’ post. My sarcasm might be lost to everyone but I really do like his advice, especially “Say something original at least once a day”.

SixApart Vox So where is VOX? I remember a bunch of hoopla on the original Comet hosted blogging platform and remember thinking to myself that they are following the same path as WordPress.com with a small and private group of users with plans expanded to a larger audience while they learn the ropes of their new software. Most of the stuff looks like a web 2.0 rehash of most things cool put together with LiveJournal. Anyone use VOX? PS: I wonder if FeedBurner had to fix their “xx readers” script to accomodate TechCrunch’s cool 100k.
