Want to become an A-list blogger? You need a tough skin.
When other bloggers can get a boost in rankings just by mentioning your name, then your name will be used, often with outrageous tabloid-style headlines or statements, so that posts gain attention.

Content Boundaries – The other type of boundary that I wrote about back in one of my very posts in 2004 is around what you will and won’t write about. This covers things like how much you’ll reveal about your family and personal life – but I think should also extend to thinking ahead of time what voice you’ll write in, how you’ll respond when others critique you and what topics you’ll write in.
The blogosphere is a small world. Decide what you’ll write about, and what you won’t, and how you’ll respond to critics.
