Yay! A guide on how to blog! In case you haven't read it already check out this link on Poynter: http://poynter.org/column.asp?id=31&aid=137327
On my first blog I wrote about feeling so new to the concept of blogging and a few weeks later now I am realizing that there are smart ways to blog in order to create more traffic on your page. On the site Ellyn Angelotti wrote about a conversation she heard Sree Sreenivasan, Columbia journalism professor, with David Kohn, reporter for The Baltimore Sun, on tips for blogging that she heard on Sreetips radio.
The Basics:
1) Get out there
2) Create a series that will be useful to a specific audience
3) Post frequently
4) Ask questions

Because of comment issues now there are people like Mindy McAdams blogging about comments on blogs and how to deal with weeding out the bad and insulting comments.
