James Joyner (Outside The Beltway) highlights a post by Dan Drezner where Drezner discusses how to be a successful political science blogger. James had these comments:

Much of it deals with the benefits and pitfalls of blogging for scholars but there is plenty of useful advice for fledgling or would-be bloggers of all stripes.

These ten points, which are explained in greater detail in the paper, are relevant regardless of your profession:

  1. Imagine your audience.
  2. Think small at first..
  3. Write clearly and concisely.
  4. Link, link, link.
  5. Remember – you are the editor.
  6. Develop a thick skin.
  7. Respect the boundaries.
  8. Expect and correct misinterpretations.
  9. Dilute the risk if necessary.
  10. If it’s not fun, then don’t do it!

Good advice.
