\"\"<\/a>ProBlogger collected 29 Debates Bloggers Have about Blogging<\/a>. Some of my responses are listed below, see ProBlogger's site for the complete list. Please share your thoughts in the comments.<\/p>

RSS Feeds - Full vs Partial Feeds<\/b>
- My opinion: Full feed.<\/p>

Comment Sections – Comments vs No Comments<\/b>
- Comments always open.<\/p>

Post Frequency – Post More vs Post Less <\/b><\/div>
<\/b>- Short posts daily.<\/div>
How Many Blogs? – Focus upon One Single Blog vs Having Many Smaller Blogs.<\/b>
- I have 3-4 blogs.

Domain Names – long vs short, hyphens vs non hypens, .com vs other extensions (like .net, .org), local vs global domain extensions<\/b>
- Short names, free domain names by Blogger.com.<\/p>

Hosting – hosted vs self hosted<\/b>
- Hosted by Blogger.com.<\/p>

Post Titles – descriptive vs keywords<\/b>
- I use natural language post titles - descriptive.<\/p>

Content – Link content vs Original content<\/b>
- Mostly links and comments, I wish I had more time to write lomg-form original content.<\/p>

Design – Professional Design vs Templates<\/b>
- I modify the templates to create my \"own\" designs. It's quite enjoyable actually.<\/p>

Ownership – Use Social Media vs Build Your own properties<\/b>
- I think your blog should be your \"home\" on the web.<\/p>

Post Length – Long in Depth Posts vs Short, Sharp Posts<\/b>
- Again, I wish I had the time to write long posts but I don't.<\/p>

Topic – Niche vs Broad Topics<\/b>
- Niche topic blogs work better.<\/p>

Blogger Name – Anonymous blogging vs Using Your Name<\/b>
- Using your name is a much better approach for medical bloggers.<\/p>

Subscribers – RSS is Best vs Email is Best<\/b>
- I like RSS better.<\/p>

SEO – Writing for Search Engines vs Writing for Humans<\/b>
- I write for humans only.<\/p>

Personal Blogging – Sticking to Topic vs Injecting Personality and Personal details<\/b>
- I try to write objectively from a scientific perspective. Personal stories are probably better suited for a paper diary.<\/p>

Comment Moderation – Highly Regulated and Moderated vs Anything Goes<\/b>
- I moderate all comments and delete all self-promotional and possibly offensive material.<\/p>

Social Media vs Search – focus upon social media rather than search engines as traffic sources<\/b>
- If you write quality content, Google will find you.<\/p>

LinkBait – Anything goes (e.g.. Personal Attacks) vs Strong Boundaries Around What is and Isn’t Acceptable<\/b>
- I don't use link baits and I have never posted anything even close to a personal attack on my blogs.<\/p>

Bloggers Participation in Comments – Respond to Every Single Comment vs Let Readers Talk to Each Other and Don’t Interact<\/b>
- I don't feel compelled to respond to every single comment. Let readers interact.<\/p>

This Google video<\/a> shows that it takes about 2 minutes to start a blog on Blogger.com. Creating a web site has never been easier.<\/p>
