    Here's another mistake(hmm...debatable) i found commonly ignored by even professional bloggers(only blogger.com/blogspot.com) - To leave the links section untouched!

    Hmm...i think they are lazy to edit the code, probably busy typing in their posts.

    But i think this is something that will tear down your profile - to that of a newbie.novice

    I've seen the links category to be - Google News , then two dummy Edit - Me, Edit Me links !! how sad - It only take a while to edit it.

    Just goto the template and find a code that reads like

    <a href="http://google.....">Google News</a>
    <a href="http://....">Edit Me</a>
    <a href="http://....">Edit Me</a>

    Now, just replace the Edit Me text to the website name , and...
    Replace the http://... to yuour favourite site's webaddress.

    So, inorder to place a link to howstuffworks.com the code will look like,

    <a href="http://www.howstuffworks.com">Learn how stuff works</a>

    A small finger raised, a few clicks and it's a whole new face lift for your blog.

    Disagree? Ask your readers

    Cheers !

    Can you say 'Duh' ? ;)

    Wouldn't it be one of the very first things to change before your first post even goes up?
