I like the idea of splitting it into praise and criticisms. Read in one for confidence and the other for a sense of humility. The Vanity folder seems like a great idea.

I was surprised just how quickly he responded to my post. I love his site http://www.scoutblogging.com/ still want to go back and read some more. Its very professional, which I guess it has to be since its for company executives. :D Funny how he commented so quickly to my post and the other guy that writes about the "Vanity Folder" hasn't said anything. I want to go back on Stephen Turcotte's blog and tell him how much I enjoyed reading it, but didn't see an appropriate place to comment. Glad that you all enjoyed my info. Oh and about the "Blog in a Box" guy, like Johnathan said it is kinda more for someone who wants everything handed to them. I think in a way there will always be a market for that, because their are a lot of people, whatever their reasons may be, that prefer to have things done up for them. Time is a very important thing and some people prefer to spend theirs on other things. Yeah, lol. I was surprised just how quickly he responded to my post.

There are people out there who don't know how to search. I'm serious. It may seem silly to us, but there are people who pay companies to search for them (my boyfriend almost got a job at one of those; they pay you about $15 an hour to use Google - cushy job, huh?). That "box" guy is just trying to capitalize on a popular subject. He's apparently one of those that doesn't like to give their information freely. Exactly! Your last sentence puts it all so succinctly. Blogging is all about giving fresh content, interacting with the readers, and being passionate about what you write. All the blogs I've found that are popular are entertaining and have good information. Hey, we used some of the same resources. I guess they're just that good, huh?

With all of this free information out there it seems that companies like "blog in a box" wouldn't really have much of a market. Except for the type of people that want everything done for them, which definitely would not be something that would draw me to them as a reader. I wonder how many do-it-yourself services and instructional publications will still be left in 10 years when everyone can find any information they are looking for by searching wikis or blogs on the subject.

I like that it explains all the things you need to do in order to maintain a successful blog, ensuring you follow through with people who read your blog and possibly rectify problems before they get worse. It was good that the author explains that the "vanity" he's talking about is not the true definition of being vain, but rather being diligent about what is being said about your blog. The Corporate Blogging article also provides very useful advice, including building relationships with people who read your blog (which they seem to be doing with the comment above :).

You highlighted "Bloggers Relations" as being the "most important tip". The reason this is so important and valuable is because it's not something that can be churned out on a production line.
