Top Ten Tips for a Rookie Blogger

I just received this email from a great friend of mine:

Hope you're well. Just wondering if you can do us a favour: as someone who [blogs (compliment deleted)], can you give me Top Ten list of blogging principles for writing good posts? We're thinking of starting one but I need help! :-)

Can you:

• Offer one tip (or more).
• Link to pages who have similar lists (Didn't Abraham Piper do such a list?)

So, I'll start in the comment section.

Sydney Bloggers to Meet on Wed May 20?

What about Wednesday May 20? From 6PM (after work)? The pub won't be full of Thursday night students, and Friday and the weekend are too complex, aren't they?

How about the The Nag's Head on 162 St John's Road, Glebe? Any bus going down Parramatta Road or Glebe Point Road should do it.

Does the night work? Would you prefer Wednesday May 27?

Speak now, because I am going away for a few days and won't pick up internet or email. I will make a decision by Monday morning.

Moffatt, Mark, Georgina and Craig S are in for that date so far...

Sydney Bloggers to Meet

My friend Mark suggested in a comment:

Can I make the outrageous suggestion that maybe someone (Justin?) could designate a pub or park in the city and once a quarter we have a live, in the flesh, Sydney bloggers meet?

I'm happy to. But what do you all think? Would anyone enjoy a quiet ale in the city, for all the Bloggers that come from Sydney Anglican-kind-of-circles?

Mark and I would be in.

Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes the bar eats you.

So:

• Who is in?
• What constitutes a 'Sydney Blogger'?
• When is a good time?
• Where?

Are there only Six Sydney Rectors who Blog?

Mike Jensen has a Blog roll of all the Moore students, teachers and alumni who Blog.

But is there a list of Sydney Anglican Rectors (Senior Ministers) who have personal Blogs?

I can find only these six who have personal Blogs:

1. Shane Rogerson -Minister at Cook's River Anglican
2. Michael Kellahan -Minister Roseville East Anglican
3. Dominic Steele -Annandale Anglican
4. Chris Braga - Summer Hill Anglican
5. Roger Bray - Macquarie Anglican Churches
6. Yours Truly - York St Anglican
   

(If it's not too forward, I'd like to see Dominic and Chris make comments outside of their specific contexts. They are good men who have so much to say. And Roger, mate, keep blogging, brother.)

Are there any others?

Begone, Word Verification! Begone.

I've taken off "Word verification for comments".

I'm done with wasting time on deciphering and typing those letters. I figure I won't waste your time either. Unless I get spam. So I'll get back to you on that.

Have a great weekend. If you are a member of a church, take joy in it. If you are at Christ Church NYC, then read, mark and inwardly digest: Colossians 3:1-11.
