In this day and age, people write blogs for many reasons: one, to make money out of it; two, to gain popularity; three, to share their thoughts and ideas about what interests them; four, to tell their story, like what you do in a personal journal; or five, as a hobby, to simply destress themselves by expressing their hearts out.

It's interesting the way different people write about different things on the Web. Coming across some very insightful blogs and comments, I realized blogging can also be a way to learn and connect with people. I'm not a blogger myself, though I used to have my personal journal in my teenage years, but learning about some blogging tips, I thought it can be interesting if you only put your heart into it.

As part of my work as a Technical Writer, I was tasked to look into some good practices in blogging to help everyone in the company become an effective blogger. I gathered some consolidated tips and advice for new bloggers from some of the more popular bloggers on the Web to get everyone started with their own blogging.

Anyone else has a tip or two to share?
