What are your favorite types of posts to read and comment on when you visit Brazen? I'm not sure if you guys realize this, but it's such a difficult job to filter through our database to find the best of the best. It's all relative + there's so much to go through that I could literally read blog posts 24-7. I like original, opinionated blog posts. I'm not a huge fan of cliche personal development posts. What about you? Help make my job easier :)

Sometimes people get stingy with knowledge and only share some of what they know, and I can usually tell. I want to know what the author knows--and something of their actual experience in the real world using that knowledge.

What are your thoughts on promoting a wedding blog? Has anyone had any experience/success in doing this in the past? I keep a wedding blog at brideandjoy.wordpress.com and have so far found the best way to promote the blog is through bridetide.com and of course by commenting on other blogs. I am particularly interested in gaining more email and facebook/twitter subscribers.

How do you guys approach marketing a personal blog? I have been keeping a bridal blog since I got engaged, but today I entered it into a bridal blog competition, and of course it's the hits that count. Strangely, I don't mind the idea of people I don't know reading about our wedding plans, but it's the idea of my acquaintances reading it that sits funnily with me, so throwin a link up onto Facebook seems weird ... Any tips? Cheers
Lisa

So I started a blog of a fictional story that I am writing. Each post will equal one chapter. I'd really like to have it made into a graphic novel at some point.
Doing the blog and making it a point to post a chapter a week is somewhat of an experiment to see if it will force me to be more steady about working on the story.

I'll admit that it was my biggest concern before posting the blog. It very well could happen (if it does I guess that means my story was pretty good :P)
With that said, I decided I'd rather share this story, albeit in an unconventional method, than keep it in a drawer forever. There are other avenues to publish the work, sure. However, I want to see if I can make this work this way. I could be way wrong, but I also could be right. So in summary, yes I am concerned about it, but my sense of adventure overwhelms my sense of fear.
