a title for a paragraph or section of a post

Choose a short title that is rich in keywords. This means people might type the same words into a search engine. Use a capital letter for the first letter of the important words in your blog post. Make sure there are no spelling mistakes in your title.

Choose a subject that readers will be interested in. Put yourself in the readers’ shoes. Would you read a post on this topic? What would you want to know?

Blog platforms have many bells and whistles. This means you can add colored text, italics, bold, images, videos, hyperlinks, and more. Be careful. If you use too many details, your blog post will be difficult to read. Use simple formatting and make sure there is blank space between paragraphs

D. Paragraphs & Headings

A blog post should be separated into paragraphs, just like any piece of writing. One or two paragraphs may be enough. Blog posts should not be too long. In a blog post, you can use headings to separate new ideas. Headings should be in a bold font. It may be larger than the main body text. A few headings will keep your readers interested in your blog post.

Find a way to catch the readers’ interest right from the beginning of your post. This is called a “hook.”

At the end of your blog post, give the reader a reason to leave a comment. Ask a question or invite readers to share their own ideas or links. You may need to moderate comments to keep marketers from ruining your blog with spam.

After you write your blog post, save it as a “draft.” Don’t publish it yet! Come back a little bit later and read the post out loud to yourself. Fix any mistakes you see. Check your spelling! If you are happy with your post, publish it and share it.

✓ Did I use a good title?

✓ Did I format my title correctly?

✓ Did I choose an interesting subject?

✓ Did I include a hook?

✓ Did I separate my thoughts into paragraphs?

✓ Did I use headings?

✓ Did I invite comments or discussion?

✓ Did I proofread my work before publishing?

Most blog platforms give you a choice. You can choose to allow all comments or you can moderate comments. When you moderate comments, you are the first to see them. This prevents spammers from ruining your blog. Spammers are people who add links to products and other sites that are unrelated to your topic. Spam is a big problem for bloggers! Look at the commenter’s name and email address when you moderate comments.
