A good blog post has content that can relate to the readers. It is important for readers to be able to relate to what they are reading because it gives them a connection to what the author is feeling or writing or where he is coming from. This means that a blogger should write about something that will appeal to a wide variety of readers so that a lot of people will read.
Another thing that makes for a good blog post is something interesting and catchy to draw a reader in. A picture, quote, video, or song will draw people in to read your blog post. Lyndsay's blog has a moving animation in one of her posts, which drew me in and made me want to read more of her blog.
Before you can make your blog posts good enough to have people want to read them though, you have to have a catchy title for your blog so that people want to actually go on your blog site to see what you’re all about. DJ has a blog title that makes you want to read about this “college superhero”. Ilmar also has a catchy title to his blog and it made me want to see what his blog is all about. It was funny though because when I clicked on the link to his blog “The Situations Station”, the first post was “I LOVE MATH”….to me that was a big oxymoron.
Having something to draw your readers in is really important with any kind of writing. Blogs are about who you are or something that interests you that you want to inform others of. So it’s important to be creative while also being informative.
Nice post. I liked the fact that you gave a couple people shout-outs (including me). and the background for your blog and everything is really nice. tips please. i never figured out how to change that stuff.
