Ali told me I’M the greatest

Today’s prompt about what makes a good blog gives great tips to newbies!  I’m still sort of new to this, and I also started a new blog over the weekend, (http://nerdflowering.wordpress.com/) and I realized, as I read over other’s thoughts on what makes a good blog, that I’m guilty of poor blogging by their standards, even by my own standards.

Something I’m interested in.

Something that’s well-written.

Something that’s funny (or otherwise engaging).

I also like the story that’s told in a blog. I don’t mean fiction, but the way a tale is told.

Here are other thoughts on what  other people appreciate in a blog.  Glean from them what you will:
