Yes, it’s really important Dee, especially as so many people are pinning to Pinterest now too and your images are great.

Thanks Tim, I’ve been meaning to edit how it puts up Write on Track twice, must do it now! Glad to hear you liked the post, many thanks for the comments and the shares.

Lorna, just one thing if I may. When I went to retweet it was too long and I had to mess about editing it. Just a heads up as many people simply won’t bother

Very solid advice for aspiring bloggers amongst a sea of mediocrity. I have shared with the Life Coaches I train in a private group. Thanks

Easiest way to check past posts is to pin them and see what comes up as the description. This is how I check my students’ blog posts

Great check list Lorna. I admit I get lazy sometimes when it comes to some of these. Like Tric, I am not self-hosted which is ok for personal blogging, but when it comes to business blogging, there is no room for complacency.

Excellent points. Must check that I’m using my keywords in my images, something I don’t think I do!

Thanks Tric, yes, the plug in ones mean that you need to be self hosted but I’m pretty sure you do all the others. You can get around the related posts one by linking with hyperlinks (which I think you do pretty well).

Great check list. I sailed through the first few getting more confident about how good I was, and then it came to number 4. Oh dear, I am not self hosted and never give a second thought to any of this, and in truth would need to google some of it! Maybe next year, but at least you have woken me up a bit.
I only write for myself, not a business, so I think that is why I don’t focus on number 4, but I should at least educate myself a bit better.
Thanks Lorna. Very informative post.
