Before I start, I must say that this post is an exception to the “nice guys finish last” rule. Not that I’m a form believer in it, but there are so many bloggers in the same niche as me who tend to build their blogs on controversy. I don’t have anything against them, and neither do I approve their ways.

So, if you’re being a controversial blogger and had used your fair share of controversy throughout your post, then you asked for negative comments - and it’s all a part of being a blogger.

If there was one factor within the headline that could capture a reader almost instantly, and even subscribe to your blog for long time reference, it would probably be the ‘inspirational factor’. Most of the time, it’s about writing a headline that everyone can relate to - and can appeal to the masses. When people check out your articles, most of the time, it’s not because they like the headline.

If I had to state the most significant difference between blogs and other CMS’s (Content Management Systems), I’d probably say that the biggest difference is that blogs are more humane. Aren’t they? For one reason or the other, blog is not just a cold and lonely web site. When you’re reading a blog, you tend to hear and feel the personality of the blogger.

So, do you know Trace Adkins? For all of the “Celebrity Apprentice” fans, he’s should be a pretty familiar face. He’s a multi-platinum country superstar and was featured in the Celebrity Apprentice (Yeah, the “Donald Trump” show) which concluded few weeks back. I’m sure most of you know the ‘hows’ and ‘whats’ of the show, so let’s cut to the chase.

Well, for starters, Trace didn’t win the show. Nope. Piers Morgan did.

You know, running a blog is like running a TV station. It’s new media for one thing and secondly, it’s one of the most powerful means of new media. Everyone has an opinion and unlike a TV station, for a fraction of that cost (or no cost at all), you’ll be running a blog. And like all interactive media, you’ll have a list of followers - subscribers for your blog.
