I've seen many bloggers enter into a schedule of topics in order to produce more predictable posting patterns for their readers. Some people can hang with it, while others (me) have a major issue with being oppressed by a schedule. What I've done with some success is committed to one day where I almost always post the same topic. This topic is called Wordless Wednesday.

This is part II of the "Why Blog" series. For more from this series check the following link:

Why Blog? Part I - Obstacles to Blogging

When I first started blogging I had no idea what I was doing.  I humbly wrote amazingly hilarious articles and did little to promote them.  I thought having a site was enough.  Then, as I started go forth and examine the world of blogging I started to notice patterns, styles, interesting widgets and sidebar goodies.  I still didn’t know what all the little buttons on peoples blogs meant, but I knew that I needed to learn more about blogging and how to effectively market myself to compete with other blogs out there. 

In this post I have compiled some useful tips that will help speed you through the learning curve of marketing your blog through the internet—Joeprah style. 

Have you ever wanted to add some extra style points to your blog and just don't know the first thing about it?  I have comprised an easy to swallow tutorial for those who use Blogger, Word Press and Joomla! so that they may be able to add "Drop Caps" to their blogs.  Why?  Because drop caps in all their various forms are cool.  It's a fact.  Drop caps are the over-sized-magazine-style letters that you see in print media and online media alike.  It can take a bland post and turn it into a thing of beauty--well, maybe just a little nicer.
