Use A Universal Language Structure.

This is the eighth part in the series “Tips For Writing A Good Blog Post”. In the previous part of this series I told you the importance of providing attribution in your posts. We all also discussed on how to attribute a post, image and else. In this post we will discuss on why using universal language structure in your blog is important?

Don’t Use Chat Words In Your Posts.

When you post in your blog, do you pay importance to what you write and how you write? If no, start doing this. You should pay importance to what you write and how you write the same. Don’t write thinking such that your blog is only being read by your friends. It can be read by your local people or your country or perhaps the whole world. It means don’t write in your blog using a slang language. Don’t use chat words.

For example, while writing this post I could have written “Dis is d 8^th part in d series “tips 4 writing a gud blog post” and so on…..”

Don’t use such a language. I don’t like it myself. This language is perfectly suitable if you send sms or use social services like Orkut, MySpace, etc. This sort of language can also be used in s SMS blog. But this type of language is not suitable for a good blog dealing with some good topic.

Avoid Using Personal Style Of Communication And Slang Language.

Avoid using personal style of communication or local slang. It is not a good method to communicate with the people or in fact the whole world! This does not mean that you need to be a scholar in English. You can simply use a language that is understandable by you and your readers.

Don’t Be A Grammar Expert.

Don’t be a grammar scholar and avoid using commas where they are not needed. Don’t use Metaphors and Similes and other poetic devices. They aren’t a good choice for a blog unless you have a blog of a poetic theme and scheme.

Check Your Post For Spelling Mistakes.

You can simply edit your post for any typos and spelling mistakes. This is enough for a good readable post. To ease your work, you can even use an automatic spell checker to check spelling mistakes in your post. You can use MS Word for thus purpose or even use the most popular browser ever Mozilla Firefox to this for you. Mozilla Firefox automatically highlights the miss spelt words in your post. It helps you a lot.
