How to Write a Good Blog Post

Web designers Wix, have published a helpful article on writing captivating blogs. To me, the concept is exactly the same as writing a good book. Write what you know. Write what you’re passionate about.

Their first tip involves creating a killer headline. Just as a writer needs to hook a reader with a great first paragraph and first chapter, in the same way the headline of the blog needs to be sufficiently eye-catching to draw a potential reader in.

I won’t give away all their points, but a lot of it should make excellent sense to a writer. Quality is important (proofread your posts!), illustrations help, and so on.

The 100 Best Websites for Writers in 2015

The Write Life has published a list of what they consider to be the top one hundred websites for writers.

I didn’t look at all one hundred, and I most definitely didn’t attempt to weigh up all the pros and cons between them and rate them all, but the top ones certainly appeared helpful to me.

They’ve broken the list into eight categories: blogging, creativity and craft, entrepreneurship, freelancing, literary agents, marketing, publishing, and writing communities. The sites are listed in alphabetical order within each category, and the numbers are included for easy tracking rather than as a ranking.

Whatever your interests in the writing arena might be, it’d be worth checking out the top blogs in that category.
