This Patriot's Blog Layout tips

I have recently found that many patriots do not know how to properly layout their blog. This post should help all potential professional bloggers learn the basics for a good layout for their blog.
  1. Make sure your content on the blog is consistent.
  2. Have a proper title (one that sums up your post & catches attention).
  3. Keep it short (very few readers want to read through a novel in one post), 250-500 words are generally good enough.
  4. Break up your text. Blocks of text are just plain boring, there is a reason that the masses like picture books & graphic novels more than a dictionary.
See how this image to the left breaks up the text ;)

I like to keep my posts interactive (ie put links in them). This image was found doing a Google search for Pic. It was the first one that came up.

Keeping your blog posts easy & quick to read often helps readers come back for more often.
