Another Blawg Enters The Sphere

I have spent a lot of time over the past few months growing RailsTips, a Ruby and Rails programming blog. All the tweaks I have been doing over there, have left me wanting an outlet to share.

I didn’t want to completely change topic here on Ordered List, since Steve is doing such a great job on HTML5, so last Sunday I whipped BlawgTips together and invited my friend Chas Grundy to co-author it with me. Get it, blawwwwg? Hilarious, I know.

What it will/won’t be

I can promise you now that Blawgtips won’t be boring. It won’t teach you how to install Wordpress (or any WP plugins for that matter). It won’t be about how to use blogging tools. So what will it be about? Why. Why should you measure your traffic? Why should you think about your post titles? Why you should go from specific to general in your <title> tags. These are principles that are helpful for all websites, but we will focus on blogs in particular.

A Sampling

Below are a few articles we added last week, to kick things off and give you an idea of what is to come. I have plenty more ideas sitting in the hopper as well.

Hope you find this new resource helpful. Head on over and subscribe if you want to stay in the loop. Also, we are sure there are other bloggers out there with stuff to say, so if you would like to guest author a post (or a few), let me know.
