What to Expect in a Blogpost

In my opinion, a blog post should prove a point in a short concise but informative manner. I love using the blog because it is an easy way to communicate and it gives us a little freedom as to what we give forth and present to the class. Although a blogpost can be short, it should always have supportive details and never cut corners. A blog should also be treated as a formal writing assignment when it comes to grammar. I'm not sure about everyone's opinion, but I hate stupid grammar mistakes because to me it represents a lack of effeort and it only takes reading something once over to fix them. Mistakes can also alter the way someone perceives or reads the information. In terms of length, I don't think a blogpost should be two sentences when you have to prove a point with detail, but it also doesn't have to be three paragraphs either. Longer isn't always better either because someone could be completely off topic or just lose the attention of their audience easily. Overall, I prefer quality to quantity, and as long as it gets the point through with enough supportive evidence who cares how long it is or what kind of style the person uses to get through to their audience.

  1. I agree! I'd rather read two or three quality sentences that are clear than plow through a paragraph length bit of...we'll call it "fluff", 'cause this is a family blog...
