I came upon the edublogger site and found the last two posts to be quite interesting. The first post was titled Five Tips for Writing Better Blogs. The five tips are all great strategies that I have found helpful as I am still in the early stages of blogging.
1)Use short paragraphs
-This is helpful to break up the content and not have one overwhelming long paragraph that people are less likely to take the time to read
2)Use headings to show importance
-If the reader is just skimming the post it will be helpful to provide them with easy to find bullets that show what the different sections of the post are about
3)Remember to hyper link
-When someone is reading your post, if you relate to an article or another blog, it is always helpful to link to that post so that the reader can see for themselves and make their own comparisons
4) Comment back to readers that post on your blog
-Taking the time to respond to comments is essential because this is how you build the community of your blog and encourage people to continue to read your blog
5) Subscribe to your own blog feed
- It is important to see what your blog looks like to others as to make sure that font size and appearance are clear
I have found these five tips to be very helpful. They are very simple things that you can do to make your blog more eye appealing and readable. I hope to increase the amount of comments that I respond to. This is one area that I believe my blog has been lacking. In hopes of increasing the size of my blogging community, it is important that I show people my interest in their posts and also their responses to mine.
