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

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!
