Blogging Tips
A really good article by Sue Waters gives great tips for bloggers:
Use Short Paragraphs
People are not going to read really long paragraphs. So, when I blog I am going to use really short paragraphs, even if I have to include a whole bunch of paragraphs.
Use Headings
If my post is going to be long I can make it easier for someone to read if I use headings. Headings will make the title larger and will bold it. If there’s alot of points to whatever I’m writing, then I could use the “bullet” feature to put the little dots in front of each point … that would make it easier to read.
Hyperlinking
If you are writing a blog and referring to someone else’s blog, you should give them credit by hyperlinking to their blog — specifically to the post you mentioned in YOUR blog.
Always Comment Back to Readers on Your Own Posts
When someone makes a comment on a post on on my blog site, then courtesy demands that I respond to the person who took time to make that comment.
