I am seriously behind now. Darren pop out another 3 tips while I was busy with other things so it looks like my target of meeting the problogger’s 31 blogging tips project with 31 of my own won’t be attainable when the whole thing ends. I am really amazed at Darren’s ability to churn out tip after tip, one better than the last, everyday with no sign of a dry out whatsoever. I wonder how his mind works. I am already feeling a little bit brain numb after only my fourth tip and those are even nothing close to the tips given out by Darren.
I am going to cheat a little and take a shortcut today. Darren’s latest tips are: (I am listing all his latest tips in one post) ![]()
Email an Old Timer Reader - Emailing a loyal reader occasionally does makes the reader feel special.
Plan Your Next Week’s Posting Schedule - I have never done this. Heck sometimes I can’t even think of what to write for that day, lest to write something for next week. That’s the difference between a Problogger and a casual blogger I guess.
Comment in a Blog that you have never Commented on Before Yes, I have done this many times and yes it you do make new friends this way.
Now for my supplementary tips.
Comment in a New Blogger’s blog -
Other than commenting in a blog that I have never commented before, I am always on the lookout for new blogs. It gives me great pleasure to be the one who makes the opening comment and I think a new blogger getting a comment from anyone in his first post is really a bonus. Most probably, this blogger will remember me for the rest of his blogging life.
Introduce New Blogs in your Own Blog.
When I see a new blog that is very well written, I always takes an initiative to recommend that blog to all my readers. Though I can’t say I have lots of them, at least the new guy will benefit a little from the little that I have got. When you do such a favor to others without being asked, they remember and in all probability, they become one loyal visitor.
Summing up these 2 tips, my tip for today is: Be a Generous Blogger
Be generous with your comments, be generous with your links, and be generous with your intro. Generosity begets generosity.

It’s a competitive world and people are kiasu. Scared if you link them, they’ll get higher PR ranking than you.
Kiasu mentality. But then, it’s a kiasu community. lol
Phweet, chio! chio! You want to take me for a ride or not?

It’s all about Karma isn’t it?
Good tips my friend. I always like to discover new blogs and add them to my feedreader so I can see their progression. Welcome to my reader.
Take care,
