notsquare: No, I believe that these tips not necessarily for blogs that run as forums. But yes, it depends on what you want for your blog. Personal blogs can still benefit in interactivity, for sure. But, it might be different for a private blog. Personal and private are two different things.

Luis: Nice to see you here again. And, I’m glad you didn’t mind my lack of Spanish. No worries about the comments. I’m happy to have ‘met’ you through this blog ad yours. Thanks again!

Actually, what I try to do in my blog is to offer my view of what happens around my world. Sometimes, the things I see affect me in a very personal way (like the time last year when 95 thousand public servants — including myself, a Biologist and Environmental Planner — were laid off two weeks due to a budget dispute), but at least I try to look for the lessons to be learned from such things.

Anyway, in recent posts of my blog I have been expressing my interest in that my friends and other people I know (especially those working in the local environmental profession) start their own blogs, since I know they would benefit greatly from doing so (like sharing their knowledge of endangered plants or animals or their environmental concerns, just to cite two examples). Every now and then I come across postings like this, which I think they would find very useful if they decided to start their blogs.

Again, thank you for the comment. I feel very honored! Take care! And good luck in all of your endeavours.

P.S. Don’t worry if your Spanish is “very limited and rusty” in order to need the Google Translator. I mean, you should see what it does when I try to translate from English to Spanish… (not that I need that, as you can see my English is OK, thank you very much!)
