10 tips for bloggers (newbies)

I wish I could find the page from someone I am following yesterday who wrote an article containing 10 tips for Newbie Bloggers.  If you are the author and see this, please contact me so I can give you thanks personally!  My page is so much better, but i did not bookmark your suggestions and did not complete entire list.  The first thing removed was the widget for my station which was biggest culprit slowing page loading; I changed settings that I receive e-mail notifications when I receive a comment so that i will not appear rude (now I know); I changed word verification to encourage people to leave me comments  . . . :) uh-oh I can only remember three off the top of my head, but the improvement is tremendous.  thank you.
