8 Tips For New Bloggers

It’s been 8 months since I first started blogging. I’m not a pro-blogger, but still I have come up with a few tips that I think will be found useful by the new bloggers. This is my first attempt in giving out tips. :) And that also with a bunch of links from some of my favorite blogs.

1. Own Domain: Your domain should be small (10-12 characters are enough) one and easy-to-remember. For more tips on choosing domain names, read Shaun’s article.

2. Good Host: If you have a self-hosted blog, then host it on a reliable host. Make sure your is a reliable one, has no downtimes and has 24/7 support. (If anyone has written a good article on importance of good web-hosting, please let me know below. I’ll add the link here.)

FeedBurner Glitch: Showing 0 Readers

I opened FeedBurner today to check the number of my RSS subscribers today, and to my surprise, I saw that I had 0 (zero) readers today. I even tried checking in the morning ( the time when they update the feed count daily), but it wasn’t updated. I thought the update has been delayed as it is Sunday today. When it did got updated, it shows zero readers. It is showing 0 readers for all the blogs I own.

My FeedBurner stats:

My average feed subscribers are 79, so I’m pretty sure that this is caused by some problem at FeedBurner’s end. This is the first time I have experienced such weird problem with FeedBurner.

I just want to make sure that is this just me, or is it happening with everyone else too. Let me know below.
