Blogpost essentials – a checklist. Do you have anything you would add? (22 posts)

Topic tags: Blog, blogging checklist
  • When I first started blogging and tweeting I was usually so eager to get stuff up that I forgot to cover all the bases before pushing the ‘publish’ button.

    As a reminder to myself I wrote up a checklist of essential pre-publish tasks here

    http://jonhartley.com/blog/the-essential-social-media-checklist-for-blogs-and-twitter/

    Do any of you have more to add? 

  • I wonder why you do not post your article in here

  • @jon-hartley  – Morning. Checklists are great. Thanks for sharing. Here’s another one – How many times have I left the ‘uncategorized’ category checked?

    Perhaps make note of Hootsuite an another auto scheduler too.

    BEST!

  • Yes, Hootsuite – making sure the post goes to your FB page, your Google+ page and any of your appropriate Linked In groups.

  • @jon-hartley — Good idea to make a list, Jon! So many things to remember … so many things to screw up!

  • @jon-hartley This is one of my favorites, but I agree with  @kathybernard on this one.  PerfectBlogPost

  • Excellent Infographic! Thanks.

  • I have a question having seen the infographic….. I have not been using images and I am sure that my pages are not well liked by the spiders and seeing this infographic tells me that I had better start.

    My question is…. How many words would be in the square opposite the image, and  does the image have to relate specifically to the word section?

    Thanks for your insights.

  • @geoffrey-gordon

    Ok, Geoffrey. Spill the beans. How did you get your infographic to show in a post here. I’ve been wishing for that for a year,but YOU are the first lol. Pray tell…

  • @atlantarobin It helps that you are a website design and know coding a little LOL. There are actually several answers to this question:

    1. Often the info graphic will actually have the coding just below it so you can cut and paste.
    2. If you can’t find it, then message me and i will send you the code to cut and paste.
    3. Learn a bit of basic html. :)

  • @geoffrey-gordon  Thanks for the infographic!

  • I am getting an education already.  My business is a little different, in that I do not have a tangible product.  I teach writing.  But I am learning from a lot of you how to describe the benefits of writing, and what I do, to make my business attractive to the masses.

  • Very interesting list!

  • Excellent!  Thanks for sharing everyone, I am soaking this all up :)

  • Wowww so nice what @Geoffrey Gordon  post there.thank for sharing with us, this will help me to improve my website as well.
    Checklist is a must do..

  • You have done good staff! @Geoffrey Gordon.It is pretty helpful. :)
    —————————————————-
    I have made a list for me. When I go to press “Publish” button, I check my list. However, I think all of you will be agreed with me that there is nothing relax-able like pressing the “publish” button.  :P

    How do you feel that ?

  • Forgot the most important thing: Have fun.

  • Don’t forget to add a video and related posts to your blog post. I use a plugin to add related posts and ALWAYS add a video. There are four or five great video plugins that I’ve used, but they’re many more available. Most curation software easily adds video to your post.

    You’ll find the video in your post will get ranked higher and faster than your original post, even though the video was created by someone else. Both of you benefit from that. They get the view counts on YouTube no matter where their video is embedded and you get the benefit of higher and faster rankings for your post. A win-win.
