Make yourself clear…
A few days ago, I was speaking about the editorial line of a blog. In my opinion you should stick to a regular style in your articles, make your reader feel at home and make yourself clear when you are writing.
Indeed, there can be many ways to understand one single sentence. People get used to one level of communication, and you will obviously always get readers who feel like on the same level than you.
However even with close friends or relatives there can be misunderstandings. As Lorelle explains in one of her latest posts, people can understand or see something you did not mean at all. That is why you should keep writing with a regular style if you do not want to hurt your reader. Of course, shocking can be a way of communication, and you will surely get reactions if one day you seem to have gone crazy on one of your posts!
So here is my piece of advise for today, that I will first try to apply to myself: be yourself, and give your blog a style and a way of writing that fits to it.
By the way, about being yourself, check out this article from Lorelle on Wordpress: Who the Hell are you? or the big importance of your About page…


Thanks for the recommendations and you are so right on. It amazes me that people just don’t get it when readership falls off or fails to grow when they bounce all over the place with content as well as presentation style. One day ranting, the next calm, the next technical, the next totally emotional. Makes you wonder about their mental stability.
People like dependable and consistency.
