I’m not sure if I would agree that these are the 4 pillars of blogging, but it is most definitely great advice about blogging.

Guiding principles

Recently, a few people have been asking me for blogging advice, mainly around getting started. This got me thinking…

What are my guiding principles for blogging?

I believe blogging is about being honest with yourself, so what values or standards to I hold myself to?

After a period of deep reflection, four overarching themes shone through. I call these my 4 pillars of blogging.

1. Be bold
2. Add something new
3. Challenge your own content
4. Formulate a 1-liner
