Each of us has a voice and something important to share. I have learned more from reading blogs this past year than any subscription from a professional magazine. You'll pick up hints here and there. Here is one from me: make sure you add tags to each of your posts and include your name as one of the tags. Register your blog with Technorati and you can see who else links to your blog. Good luck. You are now officially on my RSS radar! After a year blogging for homework for my MA in Ed Tech and reading edtech blogs – I too am ready to enter the world of “professional” blogging.

So link when you feel the love, not just because you think you should. Then it will come back to you. That's the magic. For me, blog love has to be just that, love, not yet-another-gimmick.

Soon you'll be so addicted to your reader you will winder what email is.... I spread some blog love to some of the newbies from BLC two weeks ago. I wanted to make them feel welcome and needed. Everyone needs an audience once in a while. Best, Cathy Nelson Welcome to a new way of thinking too. Soon you’ll be so addicted to your reader you will winder what email is….

I think I actually got some good advice too. I think maybe I'm trying too hard. I think it will just come. I will have to advertise my blog to my teachers and people in my workshops. I just hope I have something to say that they will want to read and respond to. Thanks again Sheryl,

As you can see, it's exciting and motivating to receive comments and to reach an audience beyond the typical audience of one in our classrooms. So spread the word where you work so that teachers will start employing tools like this which are motivating for our students (and ourselves! I LOVE comments on my blog as well. It makes us feel like we are making a difference). Welcome to the world of blogging!

Engagement, replies and conversations are the hooks for me. Enjoy. SNB pointed your blog out to us at Twitter, another great social networking too.

I think the key is to any of the things you mention in a genuine way. It's good to learn (or be aware) that commenting on others blogs and providing what <a href="http://cogdogblog.com/" rel="nofollow">Alan Levine</a> calls "linktribution" (attribution via a link) is good netiquette, but I think people can smell someone who's fishing for a link or comment in return (not unlike giving compliments face-to-face). You'll find the best results when your comments and homages are genuine, too. In any case, I too am here on account of Sheryl's tweet, and I suspect she may have done that (at least in part) because you linked to her - and she was genuinely moved by your very transparent post. ;) -Mark Hey, Tech Ed Guy.
