9 Ways to Make Your Blog More Inclusive
Via Bev, in her new blog Phronesis comes a pointer to Darren Rowse on 9 Ways to Make Your Blog More Inclusive.
Darren has 9 (going to the post and reading the elaboration of each point is worth it) hints:1. Be Aware of the Language You Use
2. Consider a Glossary
3. Mix Up the Levels at which you Write
4. Highlight Posts for First Timers
5. Educate Users in Blogging (and RSS)
6. Create Spaces for Different Levels of Users to form community
7. Encourage Participation and Interactivity
8. Leave Room for Other Experts
9. Create a Culture of Inclusivity
Bev noted that these are the same principles that she/we use in community building. Spot on.

ANd how about
10. Respond to comments.
Some bloggers write provocative posts and then just let the public duke it out in the comments. For most of us though, NOT responding to comments people leave makes a blog colder to me.
So, unless you're Seth Godin (ha!) responding to those comments will make your blog a lot more inclusive.
Being heard is a damn good thing, Chris!
