How to be a better blog writer,

or a better web page writer. Flashy images are all cool, but anyone visiting your blog is looking for information or to be entertained. If they are looking for information and your spelling and grammar are not up to par your visitors will quickly move on to the next site served up by Google.

First consider what are you trying to say to your visitors? Your most important point should be your first sentence. Put the most important information at the beginning of the post, the least important at the end of the post.

Is there an idea or analogy that can make what you are saying clearer to your visitors? If so work it in to your post.

Can you say it with less words? If so, do so. Blog readers will skim your blog. They are not curling up with your blog and a cup of coffee. Keep to the point.

Keep your sentences short.
Keep your words simple.
