Read This Post and All Blog Issues Will Be Resolved

This time of year, resolution-oriented posts are all the rage (I just finished mine up, too). Giving those resolution-themed posts the right title to garner SEO, attract readers, and provide solid advice is pivotal. I bet any amount of dog kibble that the title of this post gave you pause for thought and encouraged you to read on.

There is a danger in promising something in a title that is then not delivered in the content. Did you ever buy a magazine because of an utterly compelling title and then the article itself is completely lackluster and fails to deliver? Blog content needs to deliver on the title promised.

Top Ten Ways To Nurture Your Pet Blog In 2013

Guest post by Blog Manager Robbi Hess

As the year comes quickly to a close, I usually take some time to see what I did that worked in the current year and what I can do to either make changes or make what worked even better. Here are my top ten tips for nurturing your pet blog, gaining followers and finding raving fans:

Au Revoir, Cosmo the Havanese

by: Carol Bryant, BlogPaws' PR Manager

Cosmo Havanese will forever live in my heart as furry bundle of energy, joy, enthusiasm, and one of the only other dogs to attend every BlogPaws conference, along with my little boy, Dexter.

Diane, his mom, raised such an amazing little guy who was a reflection of her: zest, fun, and memorable to be around. My heart breaks for Diane and my prayer is that Cosmo Havanese is playing with my Brandy Noel at the Rainbow Bridge.

Until we meet again, little guy, run free, and soar with the angels.

Love, Carol and Dexter Bryant
