I agree that bullet points and images work too. Anything to help the mind segment, and give you a visual break.

Brewer Thu, 05 Aug 2010 15:26:10 +0000 http://www.spinsucks.com/?p=2733#comment-24091 Jason, Good tips. I use subheads to break the flow; bullet points and selective images are also good for that.

Brevity. I gotta learn to keep it short and sweet (subject of my post yesterday actually). As Shelly mentioned, EDIT! Less is more. Like the idea splitting detailed topics into multiple posts in a series.

Thanks for the ideas.

And thank you for the subheads correction (I am always up for corrections, and proper titles)!

As for you write a post vs. a long comment…I couldn’t agree more, and I also need to do a better job at taking this advice myself;)

Agree with them all (except they’re called Subheads, but shoot me for being nitpicky).

I also agree with Daniel: Read your posts out loud. It’s the best way to catch a word missing, a redundancy or something that doesn’t make sense. And yes, break long posts into a series. I’ve had this happen more than once (my Perfectionism posts, for instance).

One last thing: If you find you have a lot to say in comments on someone else’s blog — that’s a sign to write your own post and reference theirs. Advice I need to start taking for myself. :)

That said, I try to respond to most comments, and allow the conversation to grow.

So many bloggers out there don’t respond to comments which is the whole point of keeping the conversation going!

As for Editing, AGREED! Getting a little space between your thoughts and your post allows you to clarify, and be certain that you are sending your intended message clearly.
