Advice on blogging

Invited to look at some of your blogs, here's some advice:


  • Try to define how you are going to start, what is roughly the middle, and what your parting shot is before you start.  
  • Try not, therefore, to see the blog as a chance to ramble on, instead rather to be succinct.
  • Most of your entries seem too long simply as a consequence of the two points above. If you try and master your ramblings into style, the content flows effortlessly along. Hence, if you've got a basic starting point, middle and end, and you are likely to be more confident and the words will flow more easily and overall the piece will become more stylish. 
  • Don't be afraid to chop stuff which is looking tedious (this is a kind of golden rule, if you sense it doesn't fit, chop it out.
