The New York Times recently published an article providing a number of tips for aspiring bloggers - whether business or social. Although there are plenty of websites and resources offering lists of tips on making blogging work, this list stands out as it offers some realistic and practical advice.

What it also states is that time can become one of the main factors in developing a blog - firstly from finding the time to post entries on a regular basis and then, should it become successful, having the time or resources to maintain and develop the blog, including moderating or responding to comments. Before even starting out with a blog, be clear on the objectives and don't lose sight of that, even when the blog begins to take on a life of its own!
