Sauron's Eye on Internet has posted some handy blogging tips (part 1). My favourites are:

2. Write about something that you love a lot

I agree. If you have an actual interest in the topic, it will help keep you motivated.

3. If you are serious about blogging buy your own domain

Good advice . It's risky to rely on a free third-party blog platform.

17. Backup your blog

It's a pain to do, but essential.

27. Write ?How to? articles

There are always newbies looking for information.

33. Use sense of humor

I like humour!

39. Put an RSS subscription icon on every single page

Good way to make sure readers don't forget about your site!

Do you have any blogging tips?

Good tip, thanks RaghavK. Do you implement SEO on your own, or do you hire an SEO company?

I usually hire a company..I used to do it on my own previously..but I was good at it back then..and now I do not have time to keep up with the new stuff that keeps cropping up everyday..so I would suggest you to hire someone who knows the in and out of SEO today..
