We all know that for some reasons, on daily basis, blogging tools are just like utensils, we need on our daily life, at our own appliances or gadget can you go without your phone? Or can you explore internet without connection, or simply can you write without your pen? It just answer the fact that your blog is nothing if blogging tools aren't present in any way.
The appearance of my blogs are almost the same, on the center are my posts, on the left and right, are the gadgets I thought are must-have's of any blog.
The 'must-have' blogging tools I used.
1. Easy Access 'Share Tools'
When readers find something interesting to share, they split it on social networking sites they enlisted. And that's a plus factor for bloggers to add for traffic. That's even another chance for shared allocation like on Facebook and Twitter.
2. Search Box
A way of looking for something on your blog is through 'searching'. It does expand the time a reader can spend on your blog and that's another plus factor for traffic.
3. Blog Archive, Labels and Popular Posts List
This is also another way for an easy access of the entire blog, also to navigate blog according to dates, titles or the popular posts enlisted.
4. Comment Box
Comments are important part of a blog. Bloggers do tend to communicate to readers through this. Another tip I read is that bloggers should encourage readers to reply or comment to whatever post they interact or engage.
5. Linking Older Posts to Latest Post
Linking your posts to each other will add a positive reputation to your blog and for traffic. Here's I wrote about How to use LinkedWithin to your posts.
These are just my top list blogging tools I used but I also experimented on exploring other tools that I thought are really quite usefull and effective for my blogs. So, for you, what are the tools you used and brought effectiveness on the improvement of your blog? Feel free to share us your thoughts.
