+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!.

+<ul>
+	<li>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!</li>
+	<li>A <strong>simple shorthand</strong> like <a href="http://avalonstar.com">Bryan Veloso</a>'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.</li>
+	<li>I don't need to say that grammar should be checked before publishing a post, but more important than that is actually <strong>providing a story line</strong> 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.</li>
+	<li><strong>Images / videos</strong> support an idea like nothing else does. I guess I don't need to say anything else.</li>
+	<li>There's also another thing that I found lately and I find of the upmost importance: <strong>the text to read should be visually appealing</strong>.
+<ul>
+	<li>I used to have a dark purple <em>background</em> under white text and it was not the best idea I came up with because it was freaking hard to read.</li>
+	<li>Not just the colors, <em>whitespace</em> should be taken into consideration.</li>
+</ul>
+These really play a big role for me. <a href="http://mezzoblue.com">Dave Shea</a>'s blog is a great example on this matter.</li>
+</ul>
+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!
