The world was saddened to hear about the untimely death of Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter. 

Darren Rowse, proud Australian and ProBlogger, offers a few lessons that bloggers could learn from Steve’s approach to life and his subject:

• Passion
  You gotta love what you do, and you need to project this in your blog.
• Focused on Others
  “Me” blogs (blogs where people talk about themselves) are on the decline in terms of visitors and interest.  Visitors want information important and applicable to them.  A blog that’s focused on the visitor will be a LOT more successful than a blog that’s “me” centric.
• Individuality
  Steve had worked on a personal image that was unique and instantly noticeable.  Stand out from the crowd!
• Optimism
  Optimism is catching.  Take advantage of this.

I’ll end with a quote of Steve’s that Darren posted because I think that it applies to all successful blogs:

“I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message.”
