Title: Is anyone else on blogger? Hi All
Post by: stephElf on July 28, 2009, 11:17:07 AM
I'm somewhat new to blogger.. but I started a review site for all things Jacksonville in January.. anyway I am trying to get more "followers" and find more local blogs on there to follow myself.

If you have one, I'd love to know what it is.

Mine is:

If anyone has any suggestions for reviews as well, please let me know... I plan on doing 13 gypsies and the downtown library in the near future, even though I have been to both already.

You sure have some good  photos there.  Take a look at this thread: http://www.metrojacksonville.com/forum/index.php/topic,5606.0.html (http://www.metrojacksonville.com/forum/index.php/topic,5606.0.html).  Regarding blogging, I'm trying to get one started, too: http://macbethsworld.blogspot.com/ (http://macbethsworld.blogspot.com/) and I don't really know what I'm doing.  How do I get it out there so people can see it?

Thanks!

Ask people to follow it, on here, friends, family, etc... Does your town have a small printed paper? Like the Mandarin Sun for example... maybe they would give you a small blurb.

I am trying to get more followers myself... I know some people read it when I post on here.  It is more of a hobby for me, but I am hoping fellow Jacksavillians (sp?) will find it useful when picking something new to try out or something to do.

Jacksonvill'ns? Not! The word you seek is "Jaxsons," it is the title we have carried since the 1800's, it is also the root of JAX at the airport or on your ticket. Jaxson is also the name of a certain local cat with a severe dislike of horses. Now you know why.

Y'all get your blogs on an RSS feed. That alone will bump up the traffic. One can also log onto Facebook, Twitter as well as other similar sites to spread your message. It is much easier if you have a common purpose for the blog, something anyone could be concerned about. For example rather then: "Bob's life," or "Tuesdays Blog" go for some meat  "Bob's life with big cats..." or The "Tuesday Florida business blog" that's how you'll get more bang for the buck.
