![Parenting should be easy - копия (200).jpg](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1514893002/iyhp3ml1cwesnujqiqle.jpg)


I would like to tell three things that all bloggers should before they hit the publish button on a new post.
1. Read over and spell check the content. I know that blogging is an informal medium, but spelling and grammar errors can make you appear less intelligent that you actually are, and a quick proofread only takes a few minutes. Besides, once you’ve invested the time in setting up your blog, writing posts, and participating in the blogging community, what’s a few more minutes to ensure that you put your best face forward? Spelling errors on a blog are the equivalent of going into a job interview in track pants and a t-shirt - in a perfect world, appearances wouldn’t matter, but in the real world, they definitely do.
2.Make sure that your post is tagged properly and assigned to the correct categories. You want to make it as simple as possible for others to find your blog and use your content, so careful tagging and categorizing are essential and easy things to do.
3. Link to any other blogs or outside sources you mention. It helps your readers find out more on a particular topic if they are so inclined, and giving some link love to fellow bloggers is generally a good thing. Besides, citing your sources lends your blog credibility (well, this may depend on what the sources are, but in general citing can’t hurt).
3.5. The one thing bloggers should do after they hit publish is to check how their post looks in the context of the rest of the site - is the layout okay? If there are images, are they are sized and placed properly? Are any of the links broken? Did you forget to mention anything really important? Go back and edit anything that’s not right - one of the many, many excellent aspects of blogging is how easy it is to edit and fix errors.
*An aside: blogging round-ups, contests, and carnivals are excellent way to get the word out about your blog to other bloggers and new readers, so keep an eye out for similar goings-on in your niche.
