What Makes a Good Blog Post?

This week, Our Advanced Computers class has been doing some research on blogs and what makes them worth while to readers.

A collaboration of what we found:

-Think of an interesting or witty title.  Reader's are drawn to title's that make them wonder.  Think of something that is eye-catching.

-Keep your posts short and to the point.  You don't want to lose your reader's interest.

-Break up your ideas with pictures, videos, and bullet points.  This will also help with keeping the reader's attention.

-Check your grammar.  Your writing doesn't have to be impeccable, but readers are more likely to take you seriously if you can spell, etc.

-Make things interesting.  Add graphics, widgets, and maybe a comment box.  A comment box will allow you to get feedback from your readers.

-Avoid too many advertisements.  A page that is overloaded with ads makes the page look cluttered and overwhelming.

-Update regularly.  Keeping your blog up-to-date with new posts is essential for a successful blog.
