Regarding 96. Not sure bragging is good, no matter how well you can do something. 100. There are actually rules in blogging. 95. You should not be copying a successful blog, be inspired by them but dont imitate what they do, for example if its a money making blog, they are not making money from the things they tell you to do, what they are making money from is telling you that they do that (they dont) and having you and 20k other people follow their every word, you will bring them success. But loads of your other points i really agree with, it's good advice and does make a difference, i do plenty of those myself.
4. Blog about the Niche Till you Die and Never Give Up Absolutely important, I agree!

Remove rel="nofollow" on your Comments Whoops. Thanks for the reminder! 9. To have an About & Contact Page on your Blog I wish Blogger had easy options for setting these up. 29.

Throw in a Picture or Two in Your Post Good suggestion, I'd forgotten about this in one of my blogs. I think I'm going to start doing that. 53.

re: Sai 510's post. "Never Copy Other Blogs" is a good one. LOL it appears his link was before the one Tamal posted. I hate when that happens. I think its natural for people to be inspired from other's work, but there are too many untapped ideas to go and steal. Its unfortunate. But thank God for Copyscape for sure.
