I just could not relate to anything in it. Then my teacher gave me "To Sir with Love". I could not put the book down and can still tell you what it was about all these years later. A reader likes to relate on some level with the writer don't you think?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383088026534281295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291778831034971277.post-81661959747584911942010-06-12T18:18:17.461-05:002010-06-12T18:18:17.461-05:00Great ideas, all of them.Great ideas, all of them.Rosaria Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133147851332084180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291778831034971277.post-2367149953312805192010-06-12T05:41:39.196-05:002010-06-12T05:41:39.196-05:00These are all good tips.

I didn't become comfortable with longer word counts until I started getting regular readers who comment on my longer posts, making it clear they know me well and have read my post carefully. I think your rules are generally best when you are acquiring new readers. Then once you have people who read you regularly because they love what you write, I think at that point you can write longer posts.Ashley Ashbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05268928207063175136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8291778831034971277.post-27576348033146393722010-06-12T02:08:15.441-05:002010-06-12T02:08:15.441-05:00Hi Teresa .. I agree with most of your thoughts - ...Hi Teresa .. I agree with most of your thoughts - great guidelines.<br /><br />I fall out of the slot though! However I seem to provide something of interest for people to read & learn from .. and I get support - so I visit one blog which is my relief .. it's a good read, some nice pictures and is about food and wine, as well as vineyard development.<br /><br />I like to think that people come for a little entertainment which has some content that's informative & a break for them from their blogging/ commenting schedule.<br /><br />It seems to work. However your thoughts on clarity, shortness of sentences, paragraphs are so right .. it must be easy to read, kind to the eye etc ..<br /><br />Thanks - have a lovely weekend ..
