Your blog is about both you and your readers and you should try, where possible, to engage with them." Or words to that effect!

Really good advice and very thorough. I like your focus on design - I think this is an aspect that often gets overlooked. Something that's also worth considering from a design perspective is how your post looks in a feed reader. I consume about 80% of blog content this way and am always surprised at how different the posts look on the actual site. Hi Lee, I just read your blog post. Really good advice and very thorough.
