The Writing Base

Since SLOD was off celebrating the holidays last Sunday, there'll be double the links there would have been today. And it's a good thing too! I found quite a few gems in all the yearly round ups everyone was doing! Not to mention the few I discovered through my own lazy browsing.

Write Better Content

• First up is Chris Brogan's '100 Blog Topics I Hope You Write'. Face book was at number 1. Going with the current craze though, I'd think it should be replaced with twitter.

• These past few weeks I've gone crazy looking into ways to improve my blog writing. I'm a good writer, that I know. But am I a good blogger? Problogger's '7 types of Blog Posts Which Always Seem to Get Links and Traffic' was definitely helpful in getting me thinking.

• Dumb Little Man has '21 Must Read Tips to Write Better Web Content'. Its a collection of posts by other blogs. Excellent compilation.

Improve Your Blog

• Quick Sprout listed '5 Ways You Can Improve Your Blog'. They're simple and easy to implement.

• Grokdotcom has '33 Free Tools to Make Your Website Better'. This list of tools is for the web savvy ones.

• Problogger talks about reviewing your blog before making any changes. Check out the '69 Questions to Ask to Review Your Blog'.

• Quick Online Tips mentioned '7 Ways of Making a Blog Look Professional'. While I may not understand the technical aspects of it. There are 3 points worth looking into.

• Freelance Folder had a great article about '15 Key Elements All Top Websites Should Have'. If you're starting a website, this is a must read to help give your site that added boost.

For the Fun of Reading

• I discovered this through B J Keltz blog. But 'My Kingdom for a Toothbrush' is hilarious! Having read enough historicals during my school and college days, I fully appreciated the questions raised by Angela. Heck, I don't even speak in the morning before brushing my teeth!

• Tazeen from A Reluctant Mind has sketched a horrifyingly accurate (not to mention funny!) picture in 'Updating Your Life - Online' about status updates on social networking sites like Facebook. Some of it might not make much sense due to cultural and political references but most of it is bound to hit its mark.

That's my link line up for the two weeks. I went through dozens more. But these were the ones that I though you guys would like most.

I'd love to know what you read. Found a post or a picture you laughed out loud at? Or felt passionate about?
