A Perfect Post

This would be my guidelines for a very well put together blog post.

1. Interesting

2. Fluency/Clarity

3. Relevance

4. Short and to the point

A blog post needs many different things inserted into it for it to be a well written post. In my eyes the words that I outlined above are all the criteria you need to be able to produce a great blog post.

                The first word, interesting, has more than one reason for being important. The first is that your blog post needs to have a topic that is going to interest all types of readers. It needs to be about something that is interesting enough to make any random reader who stumbles across your blog to want to read it and be satisfied with the post. Also the other meaning of this word is that the post needs to hold the readers interest throughout the entire post. It needs to keep the readers’ attention only on the post.

                The second piece of important criteria for a good blog post is the fluency and clarity aspect of the post. A good post needs to be easy to understand while also having a certain flow or rhythm to the post. It should be easy for a reader to read your post and come away with a clear take on what you were trying to say in the post.

                The next criteria would have to be the relevance of your topic. Does you topic relate to something that is going on in you town/country? Or is it something that only pertains to you? A well written post will have some kind of relation to the world around it so that a reader who comes across the post can relate to it and feel connected.

                Last but not least is the phrase “short and to the point.” I feel that this is the most important thing to remember when writing a good blog post. If a blog post is pages and pages long I know that as a reader I would honestly probably skip reading it all together. But when a blog post is nice and short and includes the rest of my specified criteria then it really makes the whole experience of reading it a pleasant one.

                This is what my criteria of a perfect blog post will be and below I will be listing some bloggers that seem to show these criteria well.
