Advice for New Bloggers: Nothing is Too Trivial

Posted on April 1, 2008

Advice for New Bloggers is a new regular feature here at Sarah’s Cucina Bella. Inspired by Dine and Dish’s Adopt-A-Blogger event, and written with my adoptee in mind (Hi, Rachel! Click here to check out Fairy Cake Heaven), it appears every Tuesday.

Blogging is a community, so I opened up Advice for New Bloggers to all of my readers. See below for details and the cool prize you could win by submitting a tip.

Our first tip comes from Vikoria of Cool Swede:

Nothing is too stupid to write about.

Sometimes it is the little things that people want to hear about, the things people can connect to. You don’t have to think about a topic for a week before you blog about it. The randomness can make it more fun. Think about the sitcom “Seinfeld.” It’s supposed to be a show about “nothing,” and it turned into one of the most popular shows around in the 1990s.

With this comes another advice: Don’t be scared to make fun of yourself. It shows that you don’t take life too seriously. Pick some of your silly mistakes and put a happy spin on them. (It is easiest if they happened some time ago).

It’s YOUR Turn!
