Bad Blogs Have Got To Go, Blogging Could Be Really Cool If
Done Properly
There's a lot of blogs out there on the Web, most of which
don't entice one to go back regularly to read updates. What is
missing from these on-line journals that would essentially make
them 'good' blogs? Well, the answers in life usually come down to
simplicities. So let's look at the problem like we were children.
Children don't complicate life with miscellaneous information,
and when they speak they tell you straight to the point exactly
how they feel and think about a subject.
First of all, we should ask the questions," Why do blogs
exist? And what are they here for?" Well, in an ideal world
'good' blogs would help people connect, sharing knowledge and
feelings about issues in life. As they are journals written by
individuals we would hope that they'd be readable and open to
comment by all other people, not just a select group of friends.
The key is speaking in a way that is understandable by the
masses, get rid of acronyms and local slang that only few will
comprehend. Keep the sentences grammatically simple and generally
short and concise.
Try to write in your blog as often as possible because if
people enjoy reading your thoughts and ideas they'll want to
communicate or at least be filled in regularly on 'your world'.
Ask questions, comment on other blogs of similar content, start
communities with others you've never met, based on your
interests. Keep focused; if your blog is about thoughts on war
and peace, keep your thoughts on the latest movie and how hungry
you are for somewhere else. The idea is to incite intelligent
communication so that in time our collective stockpile of
knowledge and wisdom will gradually grow like a tree in fertile
soil.
I think of most importance is the fact that you want this
journal to be 'good' reading. Of course we all have ideas about
what genres and styles we like, but writing from your heart and
soul is imperative for the connection with others that you're
looking for. Share yourself; don't hide behind walls of fear of
ridicule and judgment. In real life relationships trust, respect,
intimacy, and unity are all necessary for a bond to form. It's
the same in the 'virtual' world; people want to hear from real
people-not just one-sided, highly opinionated arguments from egos
that don't want to hear the 'other side of the coin'.
Now, in my last article I really tore apart most writers out
there, and here I'm giving some pretty complex ideas on how to
fix the problem of 'bad' writing. In my next article I'll attempt
to go back to the simple basics of how to write for beginners. I
hope I haven't come across as too judgmental, I just truly
believe the 'blog world' could become a real asset to humanity,
and at the moment it's missing the mark.
Ideas about sentence structure, grammar, paragraphing, using a
thesaurus (varying terms used so as not to sound repetitive),
whether or not your blog is suitable for a personal or
professional approach, are all important to creating a simple and
enjoyable read for the blogging visitor. If you are a beginner,
please check out my next article on the basics.
