| Rules of good bog? ... are they true for you? | Sally N. | 4/14/12 4:28 AM | Hay there bloggers, tell me what you think about when people say that good blog ...- has focused topics and doesn't get off topic- keeps its post not too long- has reader-friendly design And blah blah blah I've heard a lot more. Do you agree with th |
| Re: Rules of good bog? ... are they true for you? | C.A.K. | 4/14/12 6:23 AM | I agree that staying on topic (My sons Autism in my case) is very important to your readers. The readers stop by your blog because of your content. With that being said, I have started already started writing and on an off topic because it was in m |
| Re: Rules of good bog? ... are they true for you? | Nikki24 | 4/14/12 8:12 AM | I don't think one should really stress so much on that, those who really enjoy the blog will not matter how long or short it is as long as it gets the message across.I take my blog as though I am interacting with friends, you get to hear a lot of fri |
| Re: Rules of good bog? ... are they true for you? | bagleworm | 4/14/12 8:46 AM | From a readership and traffic standpoint, it's sad but true: shorter posts and a tightly focused topic will be more successful. Some people will happily read long posts, but for the most part, people don't have the time (or attention span) to get thr |
| Re: Rules of good bog? ... are they true for you? | Sally N. | 4/15/12 12:50 AM | Well yeah that's kind of sad. I like to express my thoughts through words, so sometimes I couldn't help ramble for paragraph an paragraph haha. Maybe the best way is to balance it? Keep yourself satisfy first, of course, but don't forget the listener |
| Re: Rules of good bog? ... are they true for you? | ClareActman | 4/15/12 4:23 AM | Generally, each paragraph shouldn't be too long as people online have shorter attention spans. I'd aim for no more than 600 words. As for the focused bit - I've heard that you should always remain on topic which is where I probably fall back. I seem |
| Re: Rules of good bog? ... are they true for you? | wornways | 4/16/12 11:09 AM | It seems to me the rules for a good blog would depend primarily on the content. I post poetry and discuss poetry and poetics. Toward this end I like the clean resume look with very little clutter. Depending on the topic, the post could be long or sho |

| Re: Rules of good bog? ... are they true for you? | Conor J. Murphy | 4/16/12 9:07 PM | I'm afraid I'm bad and don't adhere to those guidelines, yet I've had much success as of late. So, I would say that those rules don't always apply. Rules are meant to be broken. Best, Conor http://www.conorjmurphy.com |
| Re: Rules of good bog? ... are they true for you? | MizZCiaraM | 4/16/12 9:23 PM | I like the idea of blogging, to me it means unrestricted writing, I guess thats how I would describe my blog. Its pretty much just what I feel like saying to the world, if there are some unspoken rules to blogging, I havent found them out yet. Person |

| Re: Rules of good bog? ... are they true for you? | Momaical | 4/18/12 3:32 PM | I write whatever strikes me as funny in my blog. I have an overall theme that I dance around - but also think it's important to establish your writing with whatever you're comfortable with presenting to the potential visitors to your site. As long |
| Re: Rules of good bog? ... are they true for you? | The Ranting Monkey | 4/18/12 5:20 PM | I write what I want to write when I want to write it. That's my structure and it works for me. To each their own. |
| Re: Rules of good bog? ... are they true for you? | Perpetua | 4/21/12 3:20 AM | The only one I agree with is the last. Making a blog reader-friendly is just plain good manners and common sense. As for the other two, they don't apply to my blog yet readers seem to like it and come back for more. I guess the focussed topic idea is |
| Re: Rules of good bog? ... are they true for you? | LucyExpress | 4/21/12 11:00 AM | My rules (which I have talked about in another discussion) is to NEVER make blogging a chore. If it's for business purposes, like to tell news updates for your product or whatever, it's fine. But if it's supposed to be a more personal thing, do NOT w |
| Re: Rules of good bog? ... are they true for you? | Some Yahoo | 4/30/12 12:19 PM | I would add "post a photo in each post" and CHECK YOUR SPELLING AND GRAMMAR. In your question above, you used "bog" instead of "blog" and "Hay" instead of "Hey". People see bad grammar and spelling as a sign of stupidity, and before you all scream a |

| Re: Rules of good bog? ... are they true for you? | Perpetua | 5/2/12 7:16 AM | That's true for my blog too. Also unbroken text can look very dull, even if the content isn't, so someone clicking in may not be hooked enough to stay and read. |

| Re: Rules of good bog? ... are they true for you? | Crazed Economist | 5/7/12 9:26 PM | A good blog is any blog that can captivate the reader and get the authors point across. Any blog can be good as long as it has a target audience and material that someone (other than the author) considers good. http://collegiate-living.blogspot.com |
