Jakob Nielsen has written a top 10 suggestions for blog usability. The ten points Jakob are sensible and straightforward to implement, for the most part.

His suggestions include:

• Including an author biography and photo
• Descriptive post titles
• Descriptive link text
• Links to older popular posts

and so on. I have to put my hands up and say I am guilty of not having most of these points implemented on this site. I will have to start adding some of these to this blog in the coming days and weeks.

Edited to correct the spelling of Nielsen’s name in the post title – thanks Michael for pointing it out.
