Welcome to Juicy's blog.

This is my first attempt at blogging, so bear with me. Hopefully I can post something interesting for you to read from time to time.

My main focus will be chess, which has become a passion of mine over the last few years.

If you want to find me online for a game, you can find me at Chesswold.net and Playchess.com under the nickname juicyplums.

Looking good buddy!

Thanks mate, any advice please feel free to give it. This is all new to me.

I think you're doing fine.

One thing that helped me was hunting around in the blogosphere to see what everyone else was posting. Also I didn't really hawk for visitors until I had a week or maybe a bit more posting under my belt. There are a lot of chess improvement blogs out there incidentally - these might be interesting to you too.

The big chess blogs that aren't in some sense professional are probably The Kenilworthian and Boylston Chess Club. Also take a look at the others listed by about chess dot com's list of top twenty chess blogs. (Sorry not enough time to check the url for you.)

Thanks Goran, if you can offer any advice then please do.

Btw Martin, one thing to do especially when you're new is to visit other people's blogs - see the variety of posts that come up, leave comments, link to all the ones you like, in posts as well as the sidebar, that kind of thing. It gets you attention, gets you thinking, that kind of thing.

cheers Tom I'll bear that in mind. I hadn't been trying to publicise too much in the first instance as I wanted to get the layout and all that sorted the way I want. Thanks for the tips.
