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 catchy title 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 simple shorthand like Bryan Veloso'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'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!
