I have an ulterior motive here which will become apparent later this week. In the meantime I want to think about what makes a good post.

In my own novice opinion  I've noticed you should:

• Have a title with something worthy in it. Anything that mentions BBC or Steve Jobs (for example) tends to get picked up I have found.
  
• Keep it fairly short. Longer-posts dodn't necessarily work better.
• Keep to the point - maybe try and make one point rather than lots in one go.
• Get it out there. Tag it using delicious and other social bookmarking sites.
• Update your blog regularly - traffic will go flat if you don't.

Here are some relevant articles on writing good posts:

• WebPublishingBlog
• FindableBlogs
• ANewbie'sGuide

Oh, by the way - there has been an update to the version of blog I am using and I have lost the spell-check facility (sorry for any typos!)
