Your Attention Please all Passengers

So far I have noticed a couple of key patterns with blogs that I like to read and what makes a blog post.

 

1. Start with an image that is clear.  The picture needs to be related to the topic and give the reader an instant idea of what the post topic is.
2. Have an interesting title.  Titles should form a relation in people's minds to the topic and maybe have a little intrigue.  
3. Keep it short.  In both the professional world and the internet, too much text is a turn off.  Readers want to get the information and get out.
4. Keep the topics relevant.  Blogs should tie into current events.  Posting about using obsolete equipment or technology will make a reader search elsewhere.
