The art of blogging

Blog
Writing a good blog is an art. Your writing skill shows your ability to convey an idea. To become popular or to make money through a blog requires you to teach masses about your idea. This is where skill plays its part.
So how do you write a blog? There has to be a structure to the blog like a brief introduction, sufficient description, analysis, and the opinion. Opinion is an important part that is often missed. Blog has to be precise yet so informative, common yet so unique & also gripping to have a tight hold over its readers. Title has to be explanatory yet secretive. It should to be attractive enough to draw the readers but not very flashy. Language should be lucid, avoid the overemphasis on oomph. Grammar, spellings, sentence construction has to be spot on.
Description part should be unique, thorough, well researched & easily understandable keeping in mind the length factor. Links, Images & Videos contribute to the richness of the blog. Using quotes, idioms & phrases makes reading a pleasure. Humor adds some spice & makes it digestible.
To make your blog unique, write in your own style like conversational, mocking (but not derogatory), thrilling, baby talk etc. Don't reveal your secrets all at a time, keep some for the future. Ask a few questions. Create a healthy debate.
These all points will help you write a good blog. But to popularize and monetize a blog you need extra efforts and extra blogs. This is my first of this series. So stay tuned!
Meanwhile enjoy these beautiful blogs.

Thank you for your criticisms. I don't understand why you did it, though. I did not ask for you to pick my site apart. I only commented on a good post.

IPL 2009 fever is on the rise as the date of commencement is approaching fast. Meanwhile bloggers are busy creating some cool & interesting stuff for the readers. Watching at what’s in the store, I think readers are in for a real treat this time. Already some amazing posts have been written about IPL in the blogosphere. Lots of controversies maybe one of the reasons for such frenzy. Here i will provide you with some posts that i found really interesting. One of my friends, an avid blogger was really disturbed at a recently published news about IPL which read that shifting of IPL was an anti-national act. It was about some crazy fans filing a case in the Supreme Court that shifting of IPL would result in great harm to the national pride & huge economic losses. My friend really digged the news & wrote this interesting post on it – IPL : Anti-national? As we all know this IPL has been mired with controversies all around, but there are always some surprises when it comes to ...

Twitter stories with a difference

Twitter has been in the news for some length of time now. That’s the free publicity it has received since its inception.

After all the agony that CAT 2009-2010 students have had to face this year with the online mode of exam that was fraught with numerous glitches, there's a relieving news. According to recent announcement at the CAT website, results are likely to be displayed at the end of February. Today being the last day of Feb, results are likely to arrive anytime. Last time round the date of results were deferred as the CAT administration had to deal with delays that happened during the conduction of the exam & weren't prepared, hopefully this announcement will hold & results will be displayed soon. The CAT 2009-2010 results will be displayed at the official website of CAT :-   http://results.catiim.in/ I wish all the students very best of luck & hope they make it to the institute of their choice.
