Reading time: 2 – 2 minutes
Okay, it’s been more than a decade. But shhhh….!
As part of the 31 Days Blog Challenge, I spent time today reading what some very smart people have written about blogging and business online.
They’re brilliant so I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite gems. I recommend not just these posts, but pretty much anything on their blogs (subscribe!).

This is a great post to think about as you work to get comments from your readers – think from their perspective and make it easy, inviting, and safe to comment. - How to Get Traffic for Your Blog by Seth Godin

I’d have to say that #56 on Seth’s list really says it all, doesn’t it? And I absolutely loved reading Liz Strauss’s post from 2006! What she wrote still holds true today. No doubt about it. Liz left no stone unturned and I’m sure she struck a chord with lots and lots of blog readers who DON’T post comments.

Excellent resources, as usual. You may want to shift the links to open in a new tab or window, however. Right now, people have to remember to get back for the next link after chasing how many trails.

Yes, I’m glad to be out of school and able to choose my own topics for study – assigning myself homework makes it more fun. :)
