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.
