Blogging - 10 tips with Blog Writing

Journal Entry 106

2 yrs and still counting and here I am ~ still blogging.

For the past 2 yrs, I have been blogging aimlessly like a chicken without head. I tend to write a lot and did not know the art of blogging. Hahaha ~ yes for amateurs like me - BLOG also must blog in style..hehehe

You see, I tend to write a lot when I blog which is a big NO NO. No guidelines and I just 'pakai hentam'. In the end, each time my topic will terpesong - 'run fire'. Came across the below - Just thought that i’d share it with you readers (if you happen to be a blogger). Some main tips for guidance la - not obligated to follow k. Out of 10, I guess I only scored er ...like 5 :(.

One thing, the writer missed out would be the illustrations and photos. I guess putting lots and lots of photos after each description is always a must. Ppl tend to be very kaypo ...they prefer to see photos and comment on it rather than reading a long winded blog. Of course, creativity is important as well- ie the linkage btw the post and the photos.
