The important factor to retain your readers is to maintain your own self and stick to your topic. The readers first visit your blog being attracted by the title. The readers then come back to certain blogs since they liked the topic and want to know more about it, in that case if you write more and more fresh posts about the topic in a creative way, the readers will follow your blogs to see how the topic moves forward and how the theme unfolds. Probably this would be the best way to keep your readers engaged, as the readers are more interested the number of visitor and the site popularity will increase.

However good your posts may be, each time when you land in new topic or theme, you need to work from the beginning to get a set of readers. It again takes some time to popularize your site but by then if you again change your topic you need to start again. Doing so, you can sustain only at a moderate level and cannot move up unless you become steady. Hence always try to retain your readers which are more important than anything else.

If you are passionate about blogging then your first step is to attract people through your blog posts title. It’s all about how creative you present your post title. The post title is as important as this is the first level of interaction between you and the reader, he/she will only enter your blog if the title is catchy. The title needs to be in such a way that it should convey the entire idea of the post and exactly fit with the content, at the same time it should be as small as possible. This will create a good impression due to its creativity.

Make sure the title is not long or dry as that makes your first impression to readers. The readers should get an energy reading your title, not becoming bored. Do not write attractive titles just to bring the readers in, if the title is not relevant with the content below in the post then the readers may lose faith and will not return again, causing you to land up with very few visitors. So always make your posts title creative and attractive.

However tasty is the food, presentation attracts people. Similarly your blog can be made beautiful using HTML tags. These tags can be used to highlight important points which needed, can vary font size and do many more things as per the posts conditions. Also one can add videos or small flash games in the post through these tags. Videos alone can be added only uploading through any of the video servers and then adding its link to the post, this will enable the readers to directly view the video in the post itself.

Even though these tags decorate your blog it is not widely used, the HTML tags are not so difficult to write or to memorize, even though due to its method of handling these tags have not become popular, most of the people are not even aware of its existence. Only those who knew web designing use these tags. Not only that, too much of text variations in the posts may not give a professional look to your blog. It can be used only to highlight any mail id, important URL or few other essential things in professional type of blogs but can be used for decoration in certain personal informal blogs.

Blogging is just the views of different people all over the world in such case there is no fixed guidelines for its kind. Blogs are of many types, some of them are,

• Instructional: People uses these blogs to give instruction on certain topics on how to proceed further and so on, most of the technical or operational blogs are of this type.

One of the most important factors about the blog is its size. In general most people do not like reading long posts except those who are your blog follower who knows your blog is worth reading and other people who do not bother about the size of the content, but long posts will reduce or cut down new readers coming into your blog. Unless it is needed keep the post short, even in unavoidable cases make the post interactive or sees to that it holds the readers for a longer time. In general fix yourself to create the posts with an average of 180 words.

At extreme cases if the content of the blog is highly informative or it is a need for the reader to go through it then the size parameter does not pops up, even in such case produce the information in an interesting way. The photo size is also to be considered in the blog. Just place the primary image at the top and use any additional images within the text only if required. Based on the importance or information that the image flushes out, develop its size. It does not mean to have a huge picture if more important, maintain a optimum size, if image is not so important reduce its size accordingly. See to the there is enough spacing between the images and content so that it doesn’t look cramped.

Huge amount of new blogging sites are created everyday and it is increasing exponentially, it has become a fashionable thing to own a blogging site. There are certain essential things needed for a person to develop a blog, the person should be clear in what type of blog he or she is looking for. Among varies types of blogs, the personal blog is the best suited for the beginner as not much complexity is involved and it can be more informal.

Once you get certain experience you will come to know many things about how to move your blog upwards. Look around and try out other blog types which will give you more exposure. One of the most important technical issue about a blog site is its popularity, you can popularize only if you are passionate about blogging, don’t develop too many blogs just like that, it is of no use, it is always better to have minimum number of blogs or even single one with high popularity. The blog needs to get regular updates with fresh and real information, do not try to popularize your site through gimmicks, it will demote your site, initially you might get more readers but you cannot retain them even if you show just the truth afterwards.

Blogging does not mean just to share information and your views, there is lot more involved in it. Blogs are of many types, in which the most popular and common blog is the personal blog. The people who write personal blogs express or write everything about their life, through these blogs people are able to find other persons who are of similar interest. To many people it gives a huge support as they even get a lot of good relationship through these blogs. Certain people write few things in real life to see how others face the same issue.

These personal blogs also give hands and plays a major role in ones self development, as this blogging tool makes you address in the public area, through the comments your receive from readers which may also include certain experts words and many more things. The personal blogging covers all the areas like, social life, family, love, marriage happenings and what so ever you would like to quote. Apart from other blogs like media blog, corporate blog, etc., these blogs create a space to share your own feelings which will really help you to make yourself light hearted and relaxed if used properly.

Blogging is one of the new and fastest medium of sharing informations and views,at this level you cant keep writing essays about a piece of information.Your blog needs to be filled with information,at the same time keep it short and crisp else people will lose interest if it is long and dry.When writing a blog you need not give any huge introduction,just straight away get into the topic. People do not like long running posts where they need to wait for long time to come to a conclusion about your view.

Each and every line written should contain strong informations, do not make the readers to search for information in the blog.You need to post fresh informative and short topics to make your blog meaningful. Selecting appropriate photo itself will reduce your work of writing more words.Another important thing to notice is the title of the blog, even these should be as short as possibe but it should give the entire idea about your post. Keep posting such blogs at regular intervels which will insist the readers to follow your blog.

The photos that you choose for your posts are even more important than the content itself, once if you are done with the appropriate photo choice, it means you have already crossed half the ocean, as we all know photos speaks thousands of words. The readers needs to be attracted and given the idea about what is written inside, which will give a precise idea about your blog, this will obviously interest the readers to follow your blog as such winning readers. The tags added to the photos are more important as they direct the readers to your blog.

Don’t ever try selecting photos just to attract readers; it is of no use if it does not match the content. An inappropriate photo will mislead the readers and will create a bad impression on your blog. More over some of your ideas can be misunderstood through a wrong selection of photo. Do not add more than 2 photos for a blog unless necessary, but mostly try to restrict to have just 2 photos.
