Recently spent some time with some students at Carson Newman University discussing blogging and setting up blogs to be search engine friendly. To create a blog on Blogger or WordPress is a fairly easy task. Below are some of the items we focused on.
A few notes about blogs:

A few notes about blogs:
- Try to use images with your posts
- Be frequent about posting – no less than once a week
- Encourage others to link to your blog
- Encourage others to reply to your posts (always try to create activity)
- Hi-light important parts of the post
- Keep length of posts to no more than two or three paragraphs
- Keep the fonts simple and easy to read
- Blogs with less color structure have historically been ranked higher in search engines
- Drive each post of your blog from outside sources such as facebook, twitter, etc.
- Keep titles short enough that they are not truncated in url by WordPress or Blogger
