For part two in my series on building community around your blog, I want to talk about community decentralized &#8211; or community that is built on websites that you do not own or control. In the first part, we discussed community that you have by default upon launching your blog.

Pretty much every active, moderately read blog is a community. Most large blogs are large communities. In fact, forget the word blog, look at online publications in general. If they have traction, they have community. Even if they don&#8217;t have strong community features, a community manager or any of those things.

I love yearly award programs for online communities. I think the act of rewarding your members through your own version of the People&#8217;s Choice Awards is a beautiful thing and something that, when done with care, can add a nice touch to your community.
