Tara. I think building that blog community is the most important part. One of the biggest challenges of a business blog is to remember it's about the readers, not about you :) I always ask my readers "what do you want to see more / less of?", "How would you improve this blog?" and I listen to what they have to say. For example, they want more real wedding profiles... so I've been hunting down more alternative couples to interview. They also want more posts about wedding planning, and non-wedding-related stuff, so I'm working on these too. Also, I find readers respond better in comments to my 'discussion' type posts, as opposed to my seller profile posts. It really helps to mix things up a bit - a little serious here, a little shopping there. Looking forward to your next posts! Excellent tips. Tara.
