Marko Saric has created a remarkably successful blog… about how to be a successful blogger! I just discovered his website and clicked on his free e-book (PDF),  on how to optimize WordPress for successful blogging. I’ve only just started reading it, but already I have implemented one of his suggestions: to change my permalink from ?p=123 to a URL that includes the title of my blog post. Easily done in the Settings.

Next,  I plan to explore his suggestion to use FeedBurner for the RSS feed,and to offer subscribers the option to receive my blog via email.

There’s lots more useful advice on his blog.
