Here's a list of 15 things to keep in mind when you're writing and posting on your blog. These are mostly editing and formatting habits, with some basic mind set principles.
1. Be really clear about why you’re blogging, who your ideal reader is, and what your core message and/or theme is.
2. Write with the reader in mind: what’s in it for them?
3. Write declarative sentences: short and to the point, right off the bat. No starting with: “I was thinking the other day about…” or “Summer’s almost over and…”
4. Write less. Omit all unnecessary words. (Hint: this requires you actually read your post before you publish!)
5. Write good headlines, using your strategic keywords (the ones you’ve researched and
know will pull in the readers you’re looking for). Put keywords first if you can.
6. Write a good first paragraph using your keywords. Tell readers what your point is right away.
7. Keep paragraphs short, only one or two sentences at most, then break. White space is your friend.
8. Use subtitles to make your posts easily scannable.
9. Break your post up after 2-3 paragraphs using the Extended Post feature, so that readers are asked to click here to continue reading.
10. Don’t take yourself too seriously; keep a sense of humor but be cautious about trying to be funny; people read things the wrong way.
11. Write like readers were paying you and their subscription is about to expire.
12. Avoid business jargon, empty phrases, and clichés that are too cliché.
13. Use bulleted points and lists as often as possible.
14. Don’t be afraid to voice your opinions
15. Always ask readers for their opinions, their experiences, their input.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
