This is about the first post on this blog ever. But dont be fooled because I have other blogs that actually make money. Every blogger that blogs about blogging has to start somewhere but what would be beter is if that blogger has been blogging and have a few successful ones. So here goes my list of much needed things you need for blogging.
Contact form
You need a contact form, I have had so many comments on my blogs about people trying to contact me. Having a contact form will make it much easier for your advertisers to get hold of you. As well as people asking questions.
About page
This is one thing blogged about constantly by most bloggers so I guess I dont have to give to much detail here since you might all know without a about page people will not know who you are. Sort of like this blog that does not have a contact page yet.
Footer
A Footer is not always needed but it makes your blog look complete. You can also ad your advertise links in your footer since many people who wants to find out about advertising immediately goes to your footer to find it.
Rss feed button
You must have a rss feed button. People are so lazy and most of the time they dont even know where to find the button.
Working comment section
If your comment section does not work your blog is basically none existant. That is what sets a blog apart from a normal website. The fact that people can leave comments and that its easily available and readable is one of the most important thing about your blog.
Thank you for reading, please leave some comments.

I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you.

Buddy..!! I think “Advertise” page can be taken into consideration. Even we are not crapping about making money online, perhaps that by putting the page, exposure of your site as a professional blog would be better. Am i right?
