Having such a mindset itself is one of the mistakes that every blogger does. You are a learner from the first day to the last in your Blogging career. Words and paragraphs dont flow out of your mind into the keyboard with perfection all the time. And it isnt a particular blog post am talking about, but the entire blog where each and every aspect including the design, the conversations, which all hold equal importance.In keeping a check on what all steps followed would be advantageous for the blog, many bloggers ignore what a ll mistakes are being done and the latter one would question the quality of the blog. One shouldnt feel low or discouraged if someone points out the mistakes they make, because Bloggers are humans and are bound to make mistakes, but a few blunders, if kept a check on, could be avoided and would make the readers feel that it is a valuable resource they have reached to spend some time reading.Here are the few Blogging Blunders that a blogger commits usually, and should try to avoid:1. Lack of promotion, focusing just on contentYou are not famous from the first day itself. Every basic step has to be taken to make the blog noticed by the readers, and the promotion has to be done for a blog to be run with good reader base and conversations. If you arent promoting your blog and the posts, and are just relying on the good content for visitors to flow in automatically, you are making a big mistake. You can use Social Networking and Bookmarking for Blog Promotion.2. No check on Typos and gra mmarMake yourself a reader and think for moment whether you would be reading any content which has got grammatical mistakes and typing errors. You surely wont be liking it that way. Feel the same way for your readers, and so have your content neat and free from grammatical errors. The trust on the quality increases with the reduction of errors in the article. Always allocate some time to proofread your blog posts.3. Re-writes are not always lovedThis is the case we have seen many a times with bloggers. A couple of news rewritten might gain some instant popularity, but the bloggers make it a trend to start rewriting all the best written material from the other blogs. This leads to saturation, and is not always suggested. Try to research on the topic you are writing, so that what you write stands high well above the others. Try to produce more creative quality content instead of reinventing the wheel.4. Blogging for money, not passionEarning money would be a passion for anyone, either that would be a blogger, a freelancer or a webmaster. Making money has got hundreds of ways, but when someone thinks to blog only for Money, the main passion for Blogging isnt there and this always would restrict you from being open-minded, which would have been a totally different case otherwise. When you are Blogging with a passion of writing and expressing yourself, the response and appreciation is totally different.5. Starting with a niche, generalizing later onSticking to a particular niche when you have opened it for the same purpose, requires some guts and determination because many a times a single niche wont bring in much traffic initially and the blogger would be motivating himself to write about the niches which are totally different, just to bring in more readers. There isnt an ethic to follow that a particular niche is to be stuck upon, but the current return visitors of your blog would never like it when they get to read something entirely different than the regular t rend on the blog. Imagine yourself finding a story about football on a health blog, thats what your readers might feel too.

Images speak a thousand words, dont forget to include oneImages are a style adding factor to the content. Content is a substance that people would read to gain the information, but to make the same interesting and stylish, and keep the users interested for more, the Images play a main role. You are jolting down thousands of words writing about something really important, but without any images, most of the readers would ignore more than half of the content just wondering how boring it would be to go from A to Z of the entire page. There are several reasons to have images on your blog and you can get copyright and royalty free images easily.7. Comment on other blogs, but stick to the nicheCommenting on other blogs to attract new visitors and b logger friends is one of the best tricks around, but if you have an intention of just keep commenting and not have a control on where you are doing that, it would hurt the blogs ranking, firstly for sometimes landing into those blog pages where there are hundreds of outbound links already, and secondly because you arent sticking to the similar niche. We always see many bloggers commenting on .edu blogs which are related to education, and the blog they are promoting in these edu blogs are related to technology. This doesnt hold any advantage, but can go the negative way sometimes. By doing these you can become a hero on blog commenting.8. Decision on choosing Blog Platform and DesignDont go with the trend. Its good to take suggestions and ask people which Blogging platform would be holding an advantage over the other, but the end decision has to be taken by you. The Blogger platform is simple, has limited options and is the best for Amateurs, and just because the probloggers use Word Press, you shouldnt use the same if you have no knowledge of how to customize the design or make changes in the blog. You could make irreversible blunders which might want you to start from the scratch.Some useful posts related to this:Blogger vs WordPress â€" Reasons Why You Must Choose BloggerWhich Suits You Better?

Each blogger and reader has their own aggression and politeness, but you should keep in mind to accept the criticism from those who dont like the way you express yourself. Try to explain, rather than bashing back at them trying to defend yourself. Doing the latter would end up making you lose your potential readers, who sometimes had an intention to teach you but in their own way.There are several other blunders which bloggers easily make, and I might be doing the same in this post but we are all learners. Trying to maintain a standard st yle of writing would help, rather than showing aggression and being too polite at times. Copying or Plagiarizing content is what many newbie bloggers do, just to fill up their blogs being confident that the readers would not find who is the original author, but if this becomes a habit, the blogger would never learn how to write on their own. Write, make mistakes, listen to the commentators and learn from it. Nothing else can make you a better blogger.
