What’s In, Long blog posts or Short blog posts?
If you are going to ask me this question, I will say it had be both as the publicity of your blog or your written words gets determined by the matter you write and not the length of the posts. Remember, those essays in high school, where we really struggled to meet those 300 words instructions to be written and how we nearly bought along different ideas in the essay just to make it look longer. But the blog scenario is completely different, if you have straight point then you can finish your blog in as much half words then the actual original article. The end point here is to interest your readers, no matter the words or paragraphs or bullets you be using – your posts must be up to date and with the matter inside that sounds really interesting.
Gone are the days, when people nearly didn’t had any option, so they used to go through whatever blogs given to them but today with the help of professional content writers, you can produce a perfect blog up to the mark without going helter-skelter. As much as you make your blog interesting and attractive to your users, they are not going to oppose the amount of words and paragraphs you have given. Have you wondered sometimes, even if you are not an avid reader how did you go on and on reading that whole article in a newspaper, magazines or a fiction edition, the reason being that it interested you and created anxiety in you to go ahead and have detailed knowledge of the same. Getting bored is not the reason here to be given if you cannot read the whole passage; it simply means it is not worth reading. Nothing or no one gets you bored if you are really keen on reading ahead or doing something, isn’t it?

There are a couple of writers whom I know personally, I wouldn’t want to offend them but yeah they definitely doesn’t know when to shut up their big mouth, they just go on and on and on till the extent that users finally get disinterested in reading ahead, especially given the size of material and some smarter ones will directly browse through the last few pages or paragraphs to know the climax, now this is not the thing you want your users to do with your blog, do you? I know seriously the answer may be no, so how can we really make your blog interesting, no matter given its size or the number of words. Many popular blogging networks have professional team of content writers and sometimes the content does elongate to whole 2 or more pages but still they manage to get good number of diggs and tweets after all blogging is all about money.
Making sense to your written words really makes your blog go rocking, its just not any other essay you are told to

write in a school and for god’s sake if you are posting it in some very popular blog, its going to be read by millions of users worldwide. If you keep examining the number of words you write, the length of your blog, its just not really going to help you, you have get your point in front of your audience and if you have razor sharp tongue then you can cut the cake in just first 2 or 3 paragraphs. But not all content writers are gifted with such quality nor do there are so much experienced to posses those skills so the best you can do is try to truncate as much unwanted waste in your blog as possible and bring forward the stuff you really want to portray to your audience.
A blogger may be trying to put forward one idea but he may have to use so many examples, a scenario, a dialogue to let the audiences know as to what exactly he is trying to say, so much of the space gets consumed in that, so use your brains and get forward the best with actual stuff although going hay wire here and there in your text is necessary sometimes, don’t forget to come back to the same text you were actually discussing. We well know, that blog doesn’t grow in one day’s time, it needs years to flourish and get the top position in market and that happens only if you are clearly and strongly dedicated to your blog, so get your points clear now and blog to get the best returns!

Enhancement of your Blogging Ability
Clarity of Thought:
You can only teach and explain your readers if you are yourself clear of what you are explaining. That is the main principle before you start teaching. If you don’t have full knowledge and know how of what you are teaching there is no use of explaining it because it is useless.
You have to master on your topic which you are explaining on only then you can achieve perfection in your teaching.
Once you have hold on this the second step is communication ie. how you can converse it with the readers.
Use of Examples and General Concepts:
One of my buddy analyzed that readers actually like to be told what they should be doing. This is an effective way of writing an article. Use of general concepts that we use in our day to life with specific and well explained examples not only make your article interesting but also help the readers to understand what you are trying to convey them. These are the keys of communication with the audience.
Use of illustrations:
Using illustrations here mean use of hand made diagrams. This is the best way to explain your article to your readers. Use of diagrams make the thought more clear and bring in the clarity of thought of what you are trying to convey in your writings. Use of illustrations is something which most blogs don’t make use of but this is the most important step if you want to make your blog attractive. People will admire your work and amount of effort you are showing on your blog.
Be like a Web Writer:
You should learn how to write like a web writer. Web writer is a person who writes article and publish it on the internet. You can write like a web writer if you know what people are looking for. To make it easy for you try reading Jakob Nielsen’s web site where you will find guidelines on how to write an effective writing.
Stop acting like a Link Snob:
Bloggers are mostly afraid of sharing links with other blogs reason being they think that this will lead to less traffic on their site which is absolutely bogus. Sharing links increase traffic only if your content is worth reading and is systematically presented.
Your main agenda should be making your point clear so that the audience could understand you.

When one is writing a novel, blog or any article matter there are certain rules that has to be followed. These rules if followed will make your blog attractive and worth reading which means inspiring people to visit your blog regularly.
1. Go through what you have written:
It is necessary and most important to revise the content that you have elaborated. No article or writing is perfect on the first go. It’s a well known fact which even the most experienced writers follow. Revising does not mean correcting your article, it means what more you can add or make amendments and changes to make it more exclusive and innovative. While revising you should check that if you could amend it in fewer words because no one likes to read lengthy articles. The first impression of audience of seeing a lengthy article is that it’s going to be borring and they probably skip the blog. Other thing to be kept in mind is that it should be explanatory enough and that too in understandable language. You should also keep this in mind that how can you make your article effective. You can make your article effective by kicking in some examples, this will help the reader in understanding things better.

2. Proofreading:
It’s checking of spelling or grammar mistakes which one make while writing an article. Thou its not simple but not difficult too. The articles which are first written always contain some or the other mistakes which are need to be corrected before posting it in your blog. If you post it without reading it and then finding mistakes and correcting it again and again is not going to prove beneficial to you, As this practice gives a bad impression and also sites loose their efficiency because of which your site experiences less traffic. Less traffic means big loss, your ability and credibility comes at stakes.
3. Presentation of An Article:
Article should be well elaborated containing the beginning, middle and the end. Your writing should have an attractful beginning in such a way that it should hold the reader. If your beginning is effective only then your article will set a good impression on you readers. The middle body of an article should contain an effective information, facts or anything interesting so that the reader does not find your article boring and last is the end of an article. The end should be such that a reader sets in a best impression so that your readers opt for your site first. End of an article should have conclusions in it. All this give your article a best presentation and kicks in more traffic.
4. Changes are necessary:
Sometimes making amendments and changes are necessary as events keep on happening and the world keeps on changing. You should not restrict your self on making changes as this is a process which is need to be followed. You should not feel disgusted in changing your content because every change makes your article effective then before.
5. Revise:
Revision is must. I am stressing on revision again as this is the main rule to be followed. You have to revise again and again till your article achieves perfection. This is the key to attract your readers.
