Do's and Dont's of Netiquette

I’ve spent hours viewing, reading, and posting in  blogs.  I’ve certainly formed my own opinions about what makes a great blog, It turns out that a lot of people, including myself, have similar opinions.  I think this is important to note because while one person’s opinion isn’t always critical, the shared opinion of many might be worth considering. 

These my Do’s and Don’t’s:

 ‘Do’:

 My personal “do’’ has to do with posting of a blog.  Followers/Readers are drawn to my posts.  I make sure that my posts/design portrays who am I  and what my blog is about. A “do” that is often overlooked is including pictures in my blog posts.  Pictures are not only a great way to enhance my writing and tell a story, but they also serve as a great way to break up my posts making them easier to read. It is important  to have good content.  This is almost always the first thing someone mentions when discussing what draws them to a blog.  My content is  ultimately what will keep readers coming back. Be myself ,be friendly and I just write.

‘Donts’

 I pay careful attention to how my writing appears on my blog.  Afterall, my  posts are inevitably what my followers are there to read although it may seem obvious, many bloggers mentioned that they are immediately turned off by vulgar or offensive blogs.  While honesty and authenticity are important, I will make sure to keep readers in mind.
