For those who had wanted me to tell some tips, do and don't about blogging, . So, this post is dedicated to you all. I am writing it myself:-
What is a Blog?
Blog:- A blog (a contraction of the term "web log")
is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video.
-Wikipedia-
Here are some tips:-
1)Clarity:- Whatever you write must be clear enough for the reader to understand, no code word to be used. It is good to avoid internet language in blog, i.e "Who are you?" mustn't be -"who r u?".
2)Conciseness:- Whatever you post must be concise and up to the point, i.e you must care about- what to write and what not to write such as "what you cousin's step mother did with her maid servant" is among what no to write. Remember to write in brief as busy people's would not like to read your blog.
3)Correct:- Don't forget to spell check your post, and check if there is any grammar or punctuation mistake, as a grammar or spell mistake can change whole meaning.
4)Complete:- Ensure that whatever you have wrote is complete and if it is incomplete, then leave a note, such as -"To be continued".
4)Language:- As some people said that I am using uncommon/unusual words, they had to search for many word in dictionary to understand it. So, you had better avoid using uncommon words, so that every person visiting your blog can easily get it. You must be familiar of who might be reading my blog, so that you may use grammar and words acc. to his/her intellectual level.
For eg:-> "Discourteous" in place of "ill mannered".
Using uncommon words make your post look trendy and different, but either limit it or give the meaning of that word in bracket.
5)Time:- Most of the people have time wasting mentality toward blogging. This is the worst thing of all I hate to hear. Actually it isn't time consuming; once you have completed the layout, you are ready to post. It depends on you how brief you write. It hardly tokes a minute to post once you had written the matter, you must be well acquainted of what to write.
6)Credit line:- Don't forget to write a credit line, if you have copied something from internet or somewhere else, don't forget giving credit to the author of that para., For eg:- I had given the credit to Wikipedia as I had copied the definition of blog from Wikipedia.com. Never indulge in plagiarizing.
As I still remember 4 C's among that 7 C's of communication of communication, which I had read in previous year in my college, so the subject of first 3 post is copied from there only.
Websites you can use for blogging:-
Blogspot:- Auto save feature is great if you forget to save your post.
Blog:- If you want a desirable name for your domain, then you must have a account of blog.com, but that website is not upto the mark.
Beside these, there are many other websites you can use, try to Google.
I had always felt satisfactory after writing blog for the day and I never felt bore since 2 years, 8th Jan 2008 was my first post and still writing and will be always writing to the last breadth.
Thanks for reading.
