Great checklist, Cassie. I found this blog through the link in your comment on Alice Seba’s, and I’ve really enjoyed reading all your timely and valuable tips and information. Especially the RSS link – I’m still struggling with figuring out RSS.

As for timely graphics that grab attention – LOL! That skunk certainly got mine! Very cute.

Will be adding your blog to the very few “can’t miss” ones on my daily read.

Thanks!

One thing, the dated posts – I like to leave the actual date up that the post was written, but I try not to use any info in the post itself that could be outdated after a few weeks or months. It’s not always possible of course, such as talking about programs that are just released, or time sensitive prices, etc.

Thanks for the comments! You have a happy weekend too

You have some incredible valuable points here! Awesome post.

Most definately a few things I forget about that you have reminded me of…. “hiding in shame here”…

#1 dated posts. I don’t usually use dates in my permalinks just because I think its easier to remember the title, however… if you are not aware of the date published, then FOR SURE there can be some discrepancies. Never really thought of it as an issue.. but things change sooooo much on the internet its nice to know and understand whats relevant and whats not! Dates can make or break you when someone links to your posts for sure!

And #2 related posts (and the plugin) work super well. Perfect reminder there to push people into realizing that there is more!

Super post and awesome checklist… WOW! Thanks for the reminder and kick in the butt to remember this stuff!

Happy Weekend!!!!!!

Thank you! And no problem. The time you spend choosing photos definitely pays off.

Hey, thanks for the link!

Images *are* important. They convey emotion and help drive home the message. We spend a good deal of time choosing the right photo and I’m glad to hear people notice them.

Nice list!
