\u2018Bad blogs have got to go, blogging could be really cool if done properly, maybe even with a pinch of love.\u2019 <\/p>\n
There\u2019s a lot of blogs out there on the Web, most of which don\u2019t entice one to go back regularly to read updates. What is missing from these on-line journals that would essentially make them \u2018good\u2019 blogs? Well, the answers in life usually come down to simplicities. So let\u2019s look at the problem like we were children. Children don\u2019t complicate life with miscellaneous information, and when they speak they tell you straight to the point exactly how they feel and think about a subject. <\/p>\n
First of all, we should ask the questions,\u201d Why do blogs exist? And what are they here for?\u201d Well, in an ideal world \u2018good\u2019 blogs would help people connect, sharing knowledge and feelings about issues in life. As they are journals written by individuals we would hope that they\u2019d be readable and open to comment by all other people, not just a select group of friends. The key is speaking in a way that is understandable by the masses, get rid of acronyms and local slang that only few will comprehend. Keep the sentences grammatically simple and generally short and concise. <\/p>\n
Try to write in your blog as often as possible because if people enjoy reading your thoughts and ideas they\u2019ll want to communicate or at least be filled in regularly on \u2018your world\u2019. Ask questions, comment on other blogs of similar content, start communities with others you\u2019ve never met, based on your interests. Keep focused; if your blog is about thoughts on war and peace, keep your thoughts on the latest movie and how hungry you are for somewhere else. The idea is to incite intelligent communication so that in time our collective stockpile of knowledge and wisdom will gradually grow like a tree in fertile soil. <\/p>\n
I think of most importance is the fact that you want this journal to be \u2018good\u2019 reading. Of course we all have ideas about what genres and styles we like, but writing from your heart and soul is imperative for the connection with others that you\u2019re looking for. Share yourself; don\u2019t hide behind walls of fear of ridicule and judgment. In real life relationships trust, respect, intimacy, and unity are all necessary for a bond to form. It\u2019s the same in the \u2018virtual\u2019 world; people want to hear from real people-not just one-sided, highly opinionated arguments from egos that don\u2019t want to hear the \u2018other side of the coin\u2019. <\/p>\n
Now, in my last article I really tore apart most writers out there, and here I\u2019m giving some pretty complex ideas on how to fix the problem of \u2018bad\u2019 writing. In my next article I\u2019ll attempt to go back to the simple basics of how to write for beginners. I hope I haven\u2019t come across as too judgmental, I just truly believe the \u2018blog world\u2019 could become a real asset to humanity, and at the moment it\u2019s missing the mark. <\/p>\n
Ideas about sentence structure, grammar, paragraphing, using a thesaurus (varying terms used so as not to sound repetitive), whether or not your blog is suitable for a personal or professional approach, are all important to creating a simple and enjoyable read for the blogging visitor.
