9:16	ttennheat:  A1: No. 20. You're doing it wrong. So is everyone else. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:16 ttennheat

9:16	Denise205:  @NickiinNY Tweetchat? It's a bit goofy for me too tonight, so I moved to Tweetdeck. But the transcript will be an option. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:16 Denise205

9:16	singingcarolyn:  T1: Step 1. Get a blog. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:16 singingcarolyn

9:16	rev_david:  RT @Denise205: T1: Which rule from the list do you think is the most helpful advice for #chsocm? [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:16 rev_david

9:16	ohxjulie:  T1: SPELL CHECK. Seriously, if I'm reading a blog and come across typos too often, I unfollow that blog. #ChSocM [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:16 ohxjulie

9:17	MeredithGould:  T1 Rule #4: start by planning to publish 1 post/wk. Most bloggers over commit and then crash. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:17 MeredithGould

9:17	iamepiscopalian:  T1: 2. Pick an area of focus, but one that has broad sides. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:17 iamepiscopalian

9:17	rev_david:  T1 - The best way to write better is to read more. Second best: write more (often). #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:17 rev_david

9:17	LuckyCharm333:  T1: I'm leaning toward #12. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:17 LuckyCharm333

9:17	jonassink:  @Denise205 No. 10 is a HUGE pet peeve. Presumes people are hanging on your every word. Chances are? No. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:17 jonassink

9:17	ohxjulie:  T1: Also, "You're doing it wrong. So is everyone else." Takes away the pressure of thinking there's some formula for blog success. #ChSocM [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:17 ohxjulie

9:18	MeredithGould:  @iamepiscopalian Bad spellers of the world untie! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:18 MeredithGould

9:18	rev_david:  @iamepiscopalian Yes! Speling is so very imporant! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:18 rev_david

9:19	Denise205:  @StacieSuedkamp Yes, I was just explaining that to a blogger the other day! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:19 Denise205

9:19	iamepiscopalian:  T1: 17. Pictures are a great place to start a post idea. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:19 iamepiscopalian

9:19	VAis4lovers:  T1: 2. Picking an area of focus seems like a good idea but I'm not sure what an area with "broad sides" looks like. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:19 VAis4lovers

9:19	EMarieAH:  T1: Start writing. It's intimidating to many ppl. Me - hard to find my writing voice. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:19 EMarieAH

9:19	skenow:  T1 - Best advice for bloggers "Do NOT get hung up on the tech. Get hung up on passion." #ChSocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:19 skenow

9:20	MeredithGould:  @LuckyCharm333 That works! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:20 MeredithGould

9:20	ohxjulie:  @Denise205 My mom is an editor, so I grew up with a deep-seated fear of and respect for the red pen ;] #ChSocM [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:20 ohxjulie

9:20	rev_david:  If you're blogging about tech, shouldn't you get hung up on the tech? I mean, isn't that the passion? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:20 rev_david

9:20	StacieSuedkamp:  @VAis4lovers I think of this like a food blog. Green/Healthy Eating vs. a blog that's Healthy Desserts made with only 3 ingredients. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:20 StacieSuedkamp

9:21	MeredithGould:  @ohxjulie Mine too -- my mother was a copyeditor & my father a copywriter & marketing guy. What chance did I have?? #ChSocM [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:21 MeredithGould

9:21	DioFW:  #1 Get a Blog. Anywhere. But it has to have social share buttons. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:21 DioFW

9:21	Denise205:  RT @VAis4lovers: T1: ..not sure what an area with "broad sides" looks like. #chsocm >What say you, fellow chatters? [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:21 Denise205

9:22	StacieSuedkamp:  T1: I think my favorite is #12. Do NOT get hung up on the tech. Get hung up on passion. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:22 StacieSuedkamp

9:22	jonassink:  @DioFW If it doesn't have social share options it isn't a legitimate platform. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:22 jonassink

9:22	iamepiscopalian:  @rev_david I think he means the tech of the blog platform, settings, etc. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:22 iamepiscopalian

9:22	MeredithGould:  T1 Contrarian view: Get hung up on the tech, if the tech is clarity in writing & design that makes stuff readable. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:22 MeredithGould

9:22	paulsteinbrueck:  @rev_david OK, there's your exception & excuse to break that rule. :) #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:22 paulsteinbrueck

9:22	LuckyCharm333:  @rev_david To me that means don't obsess over fancy formatting, getting just the right margins etc., but focus on content. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:22 LuckyCharm333

9:22	VAis4lovers:  @LuckyCharm333 @StacieSuedkamp Try to avoid being either too narrow or too broad. I get it. Thanks! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:22 VAis4lovers

9:22	EMarieAH:  @DioFW Very important!! #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:22 EMarieAH

9:22	LuckyCharm333:  @Denise205 I think it means not being too narrow, giving yourself a little latitude while still having some sort of theme. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:22 LuckyCharm333

9:23	rev_david:  @iamepiscopalian @luckycharm333 Yes, I figured. I just thought that was an odd rule for, you know, a tech blogger. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:23 rev_david

9:23	WilGafney:  @EMarieAH Do you mean for the layout? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:23 WilGafney

9:24	Denise205:  @jonassink Say more about why not? #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:24 Denise205

9:24	ohxjulie:  @EMarieAH For churchy people, maybe things like theology from a feminist POV, reflections on seeing God in pop culture, etc. #ChSocM [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:24 ohxjulie

9:24	RevEverett:  Hey team! Greetings from the subway in Boston. I'm Laura a UCC pastor serving a council of churches. Glad to be here with #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:24 RevEverett

9:25	MeredithGould:  Writing for the web is not the same as writing for print. Anything online (blog, website) is also a visual medium, so design counts. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday June 19, 2012 9:25 MeredithGould

The topics:
T1: Which rule from the list do you think is the most helpful advice for #chsocm?
T2: What would you add or subtract from the list? Why?
T3: What deters you from commenting on a blog or inspires you to comment?
T4: How can we apply the blog primer advice to other forms of social media?
T5: What action steps will you take this week to kick your blog into gear or take it to a higher level?
