Check out Paul Bradshaw's list (it's really 100 things, not 1000):
#1 Blogging is not 'writing a blog'. Blogging is linking and commenting. Any writing is a bonus.
...and then there are 99 more. Which ones you agree with, which ones not? After all, blog is just a software and different people use it for different purposes, so none of those lists are applicable to all.

I will mirror this post on the Science Blogging Conference homepage. Let me know if I missed you (i.e., if you ever mentioned or intend to mention the conference on your blog). This will be updated until everyone is exhausted!
[Bumped up to make it easier for me to update, and links placed under the fold so not to clutter the front page]
You can follow the conversation about the Conference by checking in, every now and then, the Blog and Media Coverage page on the wiki.
Nice site. Bradshaw really should learn how to count though.
Fanboy posts are annoying, see Linux et al. Technology is is a tool. If you know how to use the tool, it matters very little which brand you use. Michelangelo carved David with what we would consider "primitive" tools. Renaissance painters mixed their own pigments and made their brushes. Their reliance on "inferior" technology did not hinder their progress or prevent them from producing timeless art.
Agreed, content is the prince, Layout is the king. If readers can't find the content to discuss, there will be no conversations.
Thanks for the link. I'll use it this weekend as I introduce biology teachers to blogging and other tools.

It sounds like a meme in the making.
Copy the list.
Italicize the ones you agree with.
Bold the ones you wish you'd thought of.
Color red the ones you disagree with.
Translate into Kievian Yiddish the ones you don't really understand.
Tell six other people to repeat the exercise.
