I am referring to your blog content. People who read blogs are scanners, not in-depth readers. (That is they scan with 2 “n’s” not scam with 2 “m’s”.) They glance over what you’ve written to see if it interests them.</p>
<p>If your topic is interesting, they will read a bit more-in depth; however, keep these tips in mind when writing for the web:</p>
<p>1. Short paragraphs work are better than long.<br />
2. Bullets and numbered lists (like this one) keep information organized and easily readable.<br />
3. Numbers in titles are effective too.<br />
4. Forget your high school English Rules. It is okay to fracture occasional sentences and put prepositions at the end of a sentence, if it makes your writing easier to read.<br />
5. Write in a conversational tone. Write with simple and clear words. It is good to use “you” and “we” in your copy as well.<br />

6.  Have a purpose for what you write. (My purpose with this blog entry is to help you more easily write a blog article of your own.)<br />
7. Have an interesting title. (This is one that I personally have to work on. So if I write an article that has a boring title, comment on it. I’d love suggestions.)</p>
