   @Hello there. Thanks for making this post to the Blogging Help category and asking what I think. The process I use is found below.
   

   [quote] I have four goals for every post
   (1) Adequacy
   (2) Brevity and balance
   (3) SEO
   (4) Engagement – I try write in an engaging manner in order to maintain reader interest from the beginning to the end of the post.
   
   When crafting blog posts I consider:
   (1) What is the main message or theme?
   (2) Who are the readers?
   (3) What information is essential?
   (4) How can it be organized and most clearly expressed?
   
   Here are a few ways I choose from to organize my posts
   (1) from general to specific
   (2) from specific to general
   (3) from positive to negative
   (4) step by step
   (5) from most important to least important
   
   Guidelines for Ethical Blogging
   (1) Be well informed about your subject
   * Investigate the background fully;
   * Get the whole story;
   * Learn about all sides of the issue;
   * Seek out competing points of view;
   * Read what the experts have to say;
   * Get the facts straight.
   (2) Be honest
   Beware of the temptation to distort truth for your own purposes. Do not falsify facts, do not present a few facts as the whole story, do not present tentative findings as firm conclusions.
   (3) Use sound evidence
   When using evidence, be sure not to take quotations out of context, not to juggle numbers or statistics, and not to present unusual cases as representative examples.
   (4) Employ valid reasoning
   Avoid such fallacies as making hasty generalizations, asserting causal connections where none exist, using invalid analogies, and pandering to passion or prejudice.[/quote]

   Kick the BNP in the goolies to the point they sing like a member of the Vienna Boys Choir with a blog post, and you'll never be lonely.

   My readers want the whole truth and nothing but the truth. It also helps that I draw them in with my charm and wit (made myself puke there ).

      Was the puke from the charm or the wit?

   1) write in a totally obscure literary form
   2) have no knowledge whatever of how to set up an appealing blog
   3) have no ads, gimmicks, movie reviews or photos
   4) add a post every five years
