Great link Judy. The point that made the most sense to me was:"Don't write too much or too little; if it starts feeling like an essay, stop. Short and punchy is better than long and drawn-out, unless you have a lot of material. I have trouble with this myself! In truth, a lot of people won't read it all anyway... but they might not come back if there isn't much substance." It's all about substance and content; not the pretty bells and whistles.
A great article, with lots of helpful tips for us newbies. I tend to go on and on, so that 'short and punchy' advice is very helpful. Also, the suggestion of self-promotion on Twitter is something I never thought about. I put it on Diigo so I could reference it at will. Brian
