Christina Soong-Kroeger over at The Hungry Australian has put
together a series of
well-thought-out tips on starting a food blog. As she
writes,
"As I began blogging I had lots of questions. How did I get people
to comment on my posts? What should I write about? Do I need a
decent camera? How did I make a header on my site? What are plugins
and widgits? How do I get that 'more' symbol on my posts so people
have to click through? How do I create a collage of photos?
And the big question: how did the rockstar food bloggers -
i.e. David Lebovitz, Deborah from Smitten
Kitchen, Jaden from Steamy Kitchen, Ree from The Pioneer
Woman, Matt from Matt
Bites, Elise from Simply Recipes, Heidi from 101
Cookbooks, Shauna from Gluten Free Girl, and Bakerella - get where
they are?"
And for the proverbial icing on the cake, at the bottom of her
article, she's compiled an extensive (100) collection of links to
articles on the subject, including advice on marketing, food
photography, writing, legal aspects, and just general
tips.
Enjoy and learn!
