Kathy Sierra has released her slides from the conference at the SXSW conference, entitled “The Seven Blogging Virtues”. As she says:

“This is not about how you should blog. It’s about one possible path to getting more readers when you’re trying to build a Global Microbrand. You should always blog for yourself, but if you want more readers, you should also blog for them.”

It’s a little …. er … American, but good basic stuff nevertheless., especially for new starters.
An example:

“Be Patient
It’s not going to happen overnight.

Don’t be in a hurry for big numbers…it’s
better if people discover your blog after you’ve
already made a lot of useful, helpful posts.

That way, when new readers DO come, they’ll
see that there’s a reason to come back… that
you’re more than just a one-hit wonder.”
