Alex invited me to write another guest post on Blogsessive and I gladly accepted his offer. After my first entry on his blog, here’s an excerpt of my latest contribution to his wonderful blogging tips, Networking 101 – Building Relationships with Bloggers:

All blogs are written so that others could read them. This statement is true for both personal and business blogs. Otherwise bloggers wouldn’t take their diary online. So from the moment you publish your first post, you’ll be waiting for your soon-to-be readers and their take on what you have to say.

While waiting for readers to discover you might be a choice for some, the more impatient ones of use will approach readers proactively. And by far the most effective way to get them to read your writings is to bond with them, so them you’re worth exploring.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the matter! Besides, as my blog is only randomly accessible, I’m glad to know we can connect someplace else

I’d first like to apologize to anyone who’s been trying to access my blog and got errors instead of my posts. I know it’s really frustrating, so I’ve decided to do something about it! I initially planned to move at the end of the month, but as my site is temporarily down a few times a day, I decided my current webhosting provider is no longer a wise choice. I’ll be moving to GoDaddy.

I’ll officially start working on this tonight, but the effects might last for a couple of days. I’m sorry for all the trouble you’ll experience in the meantime. Please stay tuned as I’m sure the situation will be significantly improved after the transfer!
