Scott McLeod this morning tweeted to a resource that provides tips for bloggers in the form of 21 mistakes.

Some of them are lightweight, and one in particular, #12: too many ads, was laughable, considering the ads seen here (half-size) are right next to the 21 “don’t do it” tips.

Some I really liked.

• Giving up too early,
• Great Posts, Terrible Titles
• Being useful,
• Not defining a topic.

What’s interesting is I follow several blogs that don’t have a topic. One is a blog called “Happy Notes” where the guy just blogs about everything he has a comment on. But he’s in the know about some interesting things, so often is links to the web take me to interesting places.

Sometimes, the person is “interesting enough” to generate their own focus.

In our effort to blog at work, some of these tips might help some of our blogging teachers. The tip about the titles, especially. It’s a good thing Tweets don’t need titles… that’d be a lot of work.
