Although my posting has slowed down a lot, I have had two guest posts here and I’m happy that it’s starting to take off.

Does your blog have a Contact Form?
This seems to be a straight forward question and it should have a straight forward answer, but I have seen some blogs not having a way to contact the webmaster/owner.

EasyComment to assist you in Commenting
In Essential Blogging Tips Part 2, Serradinho pointed out the importance of interacting with commentators and the building up of a community. Wordpress plugins like CommentLuv encourages commentators to comment in your blogs. Guest post by John Samuel.
