Gloria Filiorum Patres

“and the glory of children is their fathers” (Proverbs 17:6)

Justin Taylor posted an article which was written by Abraham Piper (son of John Piper) which pertains to The Haven’s family verse. He wrote it for those who blog and how those who blog should be blogging.

His twelve points are listed below, but read the article so you may understand why these are his points.

  1. Blog uniquely.
  2. Don’t let the importance of truth minimize the importance of presentation.
  3. Be familiar with the blog genre and write for it.
  4. Use interesting and informative titles.
  5. Write to process your thoughts, but don’t post to process.
  6. Set yourself some kind of limit as you write.
  7. Think nugget-sized posts.
  8. Syndicate your whole feed.
  9. Keep in mind that the blogosphere is not a boys club.
  10. Let the general flavor of your blog be positive, not contentious.
  11. Be both confident and reasonably open-minded.
  12. Recognize that it’s OK to take blogging seriously and to try to succeed.
