Post your advice on blog writing here

Post  Admin on Sun Jun 07, 2009 9:25 pm

We want all your compiled advice on writing blogs.

Here's some off the top of my head:

- Think about your audience. Who are you writing this for? It helps when making writing decisions.
- Think about the purpose of your blog post. What are you hoping to achieve with it? Persuading people of your opinion? Getting people to read til the end? Having a rant because you enjoy it? All purposes are valid here.
- Use paragraphs. Breaking up long blocks of text makes it easier to read. Also consider subheadings to help break it up visually.
- Proofread and check your spelling. Your credibility as a writer soars when you have written in a clear, readable way.
- Love what you write. Be proud to own your blog post and your enjoyment and sincerity will show.

Got any other tips? Please share them with Vox Pop authors and NZ Smile
