Interested in blogging or already blogging? PROBLOGGER.net has some excellent advice to get you started and keep you going. I really love ‘A Tortoise’s Guide to Blogging‘. This article gives great advice and inspiration to post day after day. Here is an example under Rule 4 - Be Patient:

It is easy to get caught up in counting ‘unique visitors’ etc. instead of just enjoying sharing. My main problem is that there are SO many great books, Websites and other resources that I’d like to share but there is never enough time !
