+Writing blog posts is already a hard task, imagine if you want to write for
+other people...! Let me try and share my thoughts on this, it's even a way for
+me to keep up with my writing habit.
+
+What better way to know what to do than taking a look at good blogs out there!
+I'll take some of the best that I know, if you know others please spill 'em
+out!.
+
+* A <strong>catchy title</strong> should already make your brain spark inside,
+  pretty much like this one I guess. If you have your own blog it should be a
+  subject of your interest, or if you don't but would like to start one blog,
+  now it's a good chance to start off pretty well!
+* A <strong>simple shorthand</strong> like [Bryan
+  Veloso](http://avalonstar.com)'s is a killer, I just love to know what the
+  post is all about with a simple touch of uniqueness. Like a newspaper, every
+  article always has a shorthand to let the reader know if the article is of
+  his interest or not without reading it all.
+* I don't need to say that grammar should be checked before publishing a post,
+  but more important than that is actually **providing a story line** that
+  enhances its reading in the way that readers enjoy a story more than loose
+  thoughts. This way you even create more reasonable means to actually
+  understand the post's content and it sticks in people's mind.
+* **Images / videos** support an idea like nothing else does. I
+  guess I don't need to say anything else.
+* There's also another thing that I found lately and I find of the upmost
+  importance: **the text to read should be visually appealing.**
+  - I used to have a dark purple _background_ under white text and it
+    was not the best idea I came up with because it was freaking hard to read.
+  - Not just the colors, _whitespace _should be taken into
+    consideration.
+
+These really play a big role for me. [Dave Shea](http://mezzoblue.com)'s blog
+is a great example on this matter.
+
+How about yourself? Do you have any other details you take into consideration?
+Should you have a certain blog you find readable, leave your contribution!
