How-to’s: Blog - Make Money Online! - Atomic Your Blog!

"9. Make sure your RSS feed is valid
At feedvalidator.org, you can check to see if your feed passes the test. If it doesn’t, you may find that it doesn’t update properly on MyBlogLog. Take the time to make sure it validates so the visitors to your profile will see what you are all about, rather than have them think you haven’t blogged in weeks.

10. Apply to be a hot member
I’m tight with the person that picks hot members (grin) and I can put in a good word for you. However, you stand a much better chance at getting picked if you send me an email along with your picture (must be at least 2”x 3”) and what you are doing that is cool. Try to stand out from the crowd. What are you doing that will knock my socks off? Here’s a rare time that a little bragging is a good thing.

11. Watch what’s Hot in Your Communities
This list includes all the sites that you either write or read. If you joined a community or own a community, that site is one of Your Communities. The Hot part refers to the hot stories in all those communities. To really see what is hot in your area of the blogosphere, keep an eye on that box. It’s a great place for story ideas and inspiration for future series, and it is a brilliant way to know what resonates out there."
