I wish I’d seen this a few weeks ago when I first started this blog. Erik Barzeski has an excellent primer on getting a blog started. His article focuses on using Movable Type, but it has a lot of good advice for blogging with other software. In particular, his section on blogging etiquette is very useful for a complete n00b like myself.
Of course, now that I’ve read it and seen some of the really nifty stuff he’s doing with his blog archives, I’m going to immediately ignore some of his advice and break all the permalinks on my site. For the two or three of you who might have links to me: I apologize in advance for the mess I’m about to make. Fortunately, my blog isn’t widely read (unless it became an overnight hit while I wasn’t looking), so this is an ideal time to make that kind of radical change.
