One thing I've noticed in perusing lots of new blogs lately is that pertinent details often are left out. Remember those old 5 W's we were taught about in English composition long ago? Who, What, When, Where, Why, and don't forget to throw in How.
If you're writing a blog, stick those details in to orient the reader immediately. Don't assume the reader is on the same wave length as you. This is especially true if you're writing on the same topic that you plan to upload as a three-parter or whatever. It's like the television shows with ongoing story lines that show pertinent scenes of previous episodes. Sometimes a voice over says: "Previously on 24."
1. Who?
2. What?
3. When?
4. Where?
5. Why?
6. How?
Classic rules rule
This is definitely a sticker every blogger should have on his monitor. Adding the 'how' is no bad idea :)
So very true! Maybe we
So very true! Maybe we should make magnets? *g*
