Hello guys today my name is bhawesh and today i'll teach you " 16 Rules of Blog Writing and Layout" . Many people don't know how to write blogs so the visitors can attract to our blog more and more. So without wasting our times
let's get started.
And the rules are here 👇
-------------------------------------------------------------
1. Format every blog post
Careful formating will make your blog posts easier for people to scan. Write your posts with the page layout in mind or edit them to make sure they're well formatted for scan reading.
2. Constrain column width
Keep the blog post column width about 90 characters or less (you may include spaces) and your readers will thank you for it. Check out these before and after screen shots of Under the Mango Tree. I advised Bhawesh to update her blog to make it easier to read and changing the column width for the main body of text was one of the first things we sorted out. Wide columns of text are an instant turn off and very hard to read. The difference is incredible and it's such a simple change.
3. Use Headers and Sub-headers
Headers and sub-headers will break up long blog posts, help people scan read your blog and convince them to read the post. Read How to Write Hypnotic Headlines to read more about the importance of headlines and headers for blog writing.
4. Use lists
Numbered lists or bullet pointed lists help people scan blog posts fast and find the information they're looking for quickly.
5. Use punctuation
Use full stops, commas, dashes and colons to break up each paragraph into smaller pieces of information that make sense quickly. No one wants to read the same sentence several times to try to make sense of it. If you're not confident about punctuation keep sentences short. As you practice writing and start to improve you can experiment and lengthen your sentences, chucking in a long one here and there to keep things interesting for readers, and make sure they're really paying attention. Long sentences are fine but check that every sentence makes sense and the meaning is clear.
6. Short paragraphs
Because reading is harder online it's best to break text into manageable chunks. Paragraphs should be much shorter online than on paper with two to six sentences per paragraph a good guideline for blog posts.
7. Font type
Sans-serif fonts (without the squiggly bits) are generally supposed to be easier to read on-screen, in particular Verdana. Successful Blogging uses the sans-serif font Roboto (without the squiggly bits) which is also designed for easy reading on-screen.
8. Font size
Big is better. Teeny tiny writing is hard to read online, even for people with 20/20 vision like me. Make it bigger. Check out some of your favorite blogs, compare the font size they use and decide what works best for your readers. If they're older they might prefer even bigger text than the average blog reader.
9. Be bold
Don't overuse bold text or it loses its effectiveness but do use bold text to make a splash and highlight important sentencesthat will catch people's attention and draw them into, or on with, the blog post.
10. Drop the italics
Italics are hard to read in print. Couple that with on-screen reading already being challenging and banish italics from your blog writing. I hate them. If you can avoid italics please do.
11. Capital letters
Use capitals for proper nouns and at the beginning of sentences but avoid writing all in capitals because it's harder to read. PLUS USING CAPITAL LETTERS CONSTANT IS THE ONLINE EQUIVALENT OF BEING SHOUTED AT. Sorry, just wanted to get the point across.
12. White space
Make sure your blog isn't too busy or distracting and gives readers somewhere to rest their eye from time to time.
13. Background color
Most blogs and websites get the contrast between text color and background color right, but make sure your blog background doesn't make the text hard to read. It makes me sad that a white background with black text has become the default for most blogs. Bright yellow text on a black background is easiest to read but that's a confrontational look. Dark text on a light background has a wider appeal but consider using another light color for the background as white gives off a harsh glare. There are plenty of choices which look good and are still easy to read but without the glare of white: try light grey, minty green or pale yellow.
14. Use images
Good use of images will draw readers into your blog posts. Sometimes I read a post purely because I like the image. Ideally, your images will add to your blog or emphasize your message. Even if they can't do that use them to break up text, draw your reader's eye down the page and reward them for reading and spending time on your blog. Some blogs like Viperchill turn their headers and sub-headers into images which make the text look more attractive and helps people scan read.
15. Be consistent
You don't know how readers found your blog. You can't be sure if they arrived straight at your latest post, on your about page or via an archived post. You can't know which order people will read your blog in so every post you write needs to tell the same story about you, your message, your blog and your values.
16. Tell a story
Speaking of stories, every blog post needs to have a beginning, a middle and an end. Think of it as an introduction, the main information, and conclusion if you prefer. Even if you don't give use those sub-headings because, hopefully, you've come up with hotter ones, do follow the convention to avoid confusing your readers.
