Mini-Session 10: 5 Things I Look for in a Blog

Filed Under Guest Writer, Successful Blog | 26 Comments

Guest Speaker: Terry Starbucker

5 Things I Look For In a Blog –

  1. Fine Style – The look and the “feel” of a site on first glance sets the tone for the reading to come; if the presentation is messy, than the writing probably is too.
  2. Good Headline Writing – I like to be “grabbed” by pithy and oftentimes whimsical headlines that pull me into the post
  3. Positivity – Now I couldn’t call myself a “Half-Fuller” if I didn’t prefer a positive take on your subject matter, would I?
  4. Subject Matter Passion – Care about what you are writing about, put that on the page, and I’ll gobble it up
  5. Simplicity and Elegance of Prose – I can’t help it, I paid attention in English class – I love the proper and concise use of the language (including punctuation and spelling.

Thank you, Terry!

Should I submit this to be an official SOB? I’ll have to ask myself whether I participate enough in the dialogue . . .
