Jay Rosen's Blogging Tips

Jay Rosen dropped in at Poynter today to participate in an online chat about blogging. He fielded questions for almost an hour. You can watch the replay here, but here are some highlights:

  • “It’s easy to learn to operate a blog. What needs teaching is how to succeed at it.”
  • “Blogging software can be used for anything. Blogging as a form of publication is best distinguished by Dave Winer’s formulation: a person, talking.”
  • “One of the first things I would have [a new blogger] do is their blogroll, and on their blogroll I would ask them to place the “community of sites” that their site is supposed to enter into.
