Once you've got some consistency it's easier to post more frequently if you wish or just build up a bigger backlog of posts. :)</p> Hey Jen, definitely taking it slow is what I'm doing.

One thing I had decided to do was take things slowly but consistently just as I can have a tendancy in the past to jump straight in and then burn out and I don't want to do that with blogging, as I am enjoying it so much and want it to be a long term thing. I think it's doing what's right for you, isn't it? What I really like your posts is it's all about value.<br /> Thanks Jen</p> Great post David, some great food for thought as a new blogger.

I'm definitely a fan of single images in posts. Just enough to draw readers in, but then have them completely focused on the content. :)</p> Hey Bob, thanks for the comment.

You get around. :-) I recently incorporated TwitterFeed with my blog and have told others about it. It has been well received and I'm surprised how many other bloggers did not know about it. I also tend to backlog ideas for articles and keep them in a notebook. I must say I don't have 30+. I also recently incorporated Feedburner email subscriptions but did notice that I have to be careful with multiple images or I may have a lot of white space in the email. I think one image should be sufficient for each post and may limit myself to that in the future. I do notice that you tend to go with one image at the top on your typical post.</p> <p>Thanks for the great info.</p> <p>Best, Bob</p> Great points all David.

I guess editing is something I should've considered when it comes to videos, but since I don't even have a video editing program it's just something I never actually do. Tis' fun including all the mistakes etc. Thanks for the comment. :-)</p> Hey John.

Most people use the Popular Post widget to in a way that just keeps their already popular posts advertised, which is quite counterintuitive. Better to advertise some of the less popular/newer ones that are still getting traction. :-)</p> Hey Ken, that's definitely true.

The quality side of things is definitely the hardest to manage, but those books about writing I mentioned helped me wondrously. :-)</p> Great to hear Stephanie.

"Yet Another Related Post Plugin" might be a good choice. Thanks for the comment. :)</p> Bah, that ain't good, so sorry about that :P But there are plenty of them out there.
