Writing a blog can be as easy as baking cookies to one person, but much more
difficult to the next. Professional writers will tell you that they find blog
writing enjoyable. Those who are not great writers may be intimidated by the task
however and may never want to learn how to write a blog entry. Writing a blog entry
does not have to be painful however. It can be a lot of fun! If you are interested
in blogging, but are unsure how to begin, use these six easy steps to writing a
blog entry to get started.
Gather Ideas
The most difficult part about writing anything is deciding what you want to write
about. Blogs are interesting because you can use them in several ways. You can use
them as a personal online journal of sorts if you wish. You can also use them as a
place to post your opinions and views. Lastly, you can use them as a place to put
short articles of interest for others to read.
If you are choosing to use your blog as a journal, you might not need much
planning. You will probably simply want to begin writing and see where it takes
you. If you want to use the blog for your opinions or for articles however, you
will need to gather ideas. Create a list of topic ideas that interest you. Use them
to determine what your topic will be. After choosing a topic, make a quick outline
of main points you want to include. This step may seem tedious, but it will make
the other steps go much more quickly, so be sure not to skip it.
Choose a Tone
After you have chosen your topic and created your short outline, you will need to
choose your tone. The most successful blogs are written in a casual tone, which is
a welcoming idea to most non-professional writers. Don�t worry about grammatical
rules. Simply choose a tone that is like the one you would use when speaking with
your spouse or a great friend. The tone should be friendly and stress-free.
When you sit down to write your post, remember the tone you chose for your piece.
Keeping the tone in mind put your topic idea and outline in front of you and begin
writing. You should keep your blogs posts pretty short. They should contain your
main point within the first sentence or two. Don�t ramble on and on or you will
risk losing your reader somewhere in the middle. You can strive to keep your posts
between 300 and 700 words altogether. This may sound like a lot, but once you start
writing, you will see that it will not take a lot of time to get to this point.
Don�t forget to write in a casual tone. Write exactly like you would speak. Avoid
large words that some people may stumble over. Create interesting, yet simple posts
for everyone to enjoy.
A signature ending is important for any blogger. You can choose to end each post
with a specific quote or phrase. You can add your name to the bottom with a special
symbol nearby. It really does not matter how you choose to end your post. Be sure
to choose a signature ending however. A signature ending is a great way for regular
readers to see that your post is ending. It can be a comforting sight for many
readers as well and make your blog seem more personal.
After all of the writing is said and done, you should always edit your work.
Editing is not always a fun thing to do, but if you want your blog to be taken
seriously, you should go back over your work. Look for misspelled words and other
common mistakes. Although you are not worrying about grammar, you should not
misspell words. When you are certain your text is mistake-free, you can move on to
the last step.
The final step to creating a blog post is to submit it to your blog. This is
typically done via the blogging software. There is a spot where you can paste your
text and click on the �submit� button. The software should do the rest. After
submitting, visit your blog as a reader and check out your new update.
