In my last post, I wrote about Darren Rowse’s group blog writing project on habits of effective bloggers. This has grown into quite a list of interesting articles.

One blogger, who goes by the nom de blog of “The Retrospector,” actually compiled a list of blogging habits according to how many bloggers in the group blog writing project mentioned them. Great idea! And that blog design theme looks oddly familiar.

Here are a few habits from the list:

#	Habit	# and % of Submissions (out of 80)
1	Post often/regular schedule	44	55%
2	Build a community/comment/respond/know readers	38	48%
3	Read other blogs/research/newspapers/etc.	32	40%
4	Be original/creative, add value	28	35%
6	Enjoy it/do what’s fun/passionate	23	29%
9	Persistence/longevity/patience	18	23%
10	Carry a Notebook/store ideas & drafts for later	16	20%
11	Learn new things/adapt/change	16	20%
12	Link to others/give credit/trackbacks	16	20%

How many of these do you think are important and how many do you do?
