Just a few blogging tips!If you're a designer and you keep a blog, sometimes it can be a little baffling when it comes to sitting down and writing an update for the people who follow you and your work to read. But it is possible to craft some great updates that'll keep people interested and engaged with your designs and you as a designer.1) Don't stress yourself out about it. People are not expecting you to write an award-winning article on the incredible depth of specific areas of philosophy. People want to know what you're working on, and what you're interested in currently. Doesn't matter if you're working on a graphic novel or a new web design for partypoker.com - it's all about showing people that you're up to something, rather than firing off some new content into your portfolio and expecting people to check on a regular basis. 2) Talk about the work of others. If you've seen other designers come up with things you're really into, link to them, talk about them and discuss why you enjoy their work with the people who hang out on your blog. Not only is it a wise idea as you're essentially broadcasting that you're happy to promote the work of others (this will help you in the long run when you've got big stuff coming out), you're also showing that you have interests and thus, are interesting. 3) Offer advice. If you're knowledgeable about design, then sharing that knowledge with others is really going to help them. If you've ever read tutorials on the web (you probably have, at some point), that content you read was provided by someone who took the time to craft it. Give back a little, and you may find that people start using those posts as the basis for learning about design. So don't stress out - write, think, share knowledge, promote the stuff you love by just talking about and linking to it, and have fun updating your audience. - Posted on 10 May 2012 by Natty Rage
