In your learning log, record your ‘top five tips for new bloggers’ :
- Make your content useful and unique to your readers. Constantly ask yourself, is the blog useful? This content could include - education, entertainment, information, debate, news or communtiy.
- Post Length. Keep in mind the reader and their attention span. Studies have shown that the typical web reader has an attention span of 96 seconds per blog.
- Use titles effectively. First impressions count - to people and search engines. Slow down their scanning and grab their attention with meaningful, simple titles that use key words.
- Make posts scannable. Web readers scan for content and dont read word for word. Use lists, bold writing, headings, sub-headings, pictures, borders and spaces to make your content stand out.
- One topic per post. Keep the post to one topic. This prevents you from getting off the subject and rambling on about anything that comes to mind. Keep focus.
