The How-To's for Blogging and Writing

► Monday, February 28, 2011 | 12:16 PM

Planning

So, you’re into blogging? We all start from a scratch. And just like blogging, we start in planning the creation of it. You can’t just create a blog immediately, not thinking of what your blog is about. Here are some tips on how to create your blog:

When planning what to blog, one should blog about something that he/she really loves or is passionate about. You can’t just blog about something because you think it’ll hit a lot of readers because in the end, you’ll get bored of it and you’ll end up leaving your blog and the readers wondering why.
When planning the layout of your blogsite, you should be considerate about the readers’ “welfare”. If possible, avoid the technicolor style blog because it really hurts the eye especially when you’re in the computer.
Your blog should be user-friendly. You should consider the scannability and the navigation of your blog. When posting some lists, you should put in bullet form or use tables.
You should have a clear goal of creating your blog. We’ll take for example our blog. Our goal is to post movie reviews and critiques of the latest movies we’ve seen. But we don’t spoil it. Some bloggers who blog things like we blog get carried away and they end up spoiling the movie. So, have a clear goal.

Editing

So before posting your articles or content, you should pass through editing first. So what are the do’s and don’ts in blog writing?

When it comes to reading the content, you should be grammar conscious. Most readers are grammar-freak and maybe with a single grammatical error, they’ll put you down.
When posting pictures, videos, statistics, etc, you should mention the source.
Your article should have a main point. Don’t get out of your way because that confuses our dear readers.
Go straight to the point. Be specific. Yes, it looks really pleasant that your blog posts are lengthy but if it’s full of twists, don’t mind posting it. It will just annoy the readers. “Just say it!” So if right now you’re on the move in editing your contents, remove the nonsense and let’s go straight to the point

Producing a Blog

So there you have it! You now own you whatever blog. But when you own a blog, you just don’t own a blog just for the sake of having or owning a blog. Creating a blog, in the very first place, was completely useless at all. So how do we produce a blog?

Be professional enough. Don’t post contents that are offensive and are controversial.

Aside from being professional, you should avoid “trash talk”. You’re not allowed to rant on someone using your blog. If that happens, it just goes to show how depraved you are.
When you own a blog, you should take the risks of owning it. Maintain posting articles in your blog because there’s no use having a blog like yours if you only post once a month. At least post something on your blog once a week.
Enjoy. Love your blog. Write passionately. You can’t just write because you had to write something. You have to write because it’s what you like. It’s what your heart tells you.
BE FRIENDS WITH THE READERS! In that case, you can know what they like about your blog and you can cater them to their wants and needs.
