More blogging advice

Nora Carr's column in the June 2008 eSchool News added some more blogging tips:

  • write about topics you care about and feel passionate about

  • good blogs have a viewpoint and a voice

  • use an informal "Dear Mom" approach to your posts

  • keep postings short and link to other articles or sites

  • subheads, bullets, one-sentence paragraphs and other graphic organizers can help readers skim your contents

  • craft titles with care; often users may only read the titles to decide if they want to read the entire posting

  • post regularly
