I love these. I call them index pages or hub articles because they serve as hubs from which you can drive traffic to several other areas of your site. For example, in the sidebar of this site I list popular posts or series like Ten Habits of Blogging Success.

I've networked my way into some new websites and blogs and as a result of the connections made ahead of time, they've blossomed very quickly. SEO is SO important. You don't sell-out as a writer if you learn about it. :-) I promise. @Liliana – Glad you found it helpful!

I found the travel blogging community just as a prepared to start a my travel blog nearly 1-1/2 years ago. Their help and encouragement helped me get started more quickly and maintain my enthusiasm during those first few difficult months. I didn't feel alone. I'd like to learn a little more about SEO this year. I don't want to go nuts with it, but I'd like to learn how to better position my work without sacrificing quality or real content.

Lol! I am the queen of many interests. My mother said even as a little girl I'd flit from toy to toy. I usually have three or four books I'm reading at once. I am learning it's better to break things up a little bit more and FOCUS but it's my weakness of anything on this list. :- Angela < Oh yes, and how well I know it! Lol!

Marketers and branding pros often preach this one to our clients. It's a great parallel to think of a blog as someone's brand identity whether it be personal or professional. A blog must have focus or else you'll lose your community. John Sternal @sternalpr Such a great lesson in number six. Marketers and branding pros often preach this one to our clients.

I think that it can still reflect YOU without being "loosey-goosey" as my friend would say. Sometimes just giving real, good information is so valuable. There's a balance I think, for sure. I mean, we have encyclopedia's for pure facts. But they are dry, boring and stuffy. When you become the filter for that information, magical things happen. :-) That was the hardest part for me starting out with a “real blog” because my original online writing was all second or third person content production and copywriting.

Some of my series posts have been the most visited and shared of all my posts. This is because they are helpful. They have also helped me to ficus on a topic for 1-5 weeks at a time and in turn, brought organization to my writing. I need to work on #5. Too often I focus on creating how-to, informational posts. Very rarely do I insert my personality. Writing was never my gift. Talking about myself isn't easy. But, somewhere in there I need to bring myself to my posts. Looking forward to more #10Habits!
