Yesterday I explained what to write about in your blog posts. Today is going to cover some more particulars, more of the behind the scenes type of stuff.
What are you writing about?
Decide on what you are going to write about. Think about other terms that might cover the same subject. You want to use good keywords. A keyword tool can help you find other terms. Finding other terms and long terms can help you come up with additional posts.
What is your Category?
Now that you have written your post, select a category over on the right. There is an “Add new Category,” if your post does not fit into your previous categories. Select only one, otherwise it will cause complications. If you do not select a category it will go into “Uncategorized,” which is not what you want.
Do you remember this important aspect?
Click “Save Draft” every so often, so you don’t panic if something happens to your electricity or Internet. It’s also great if something interrupts your writing. If writer’s block or the busy activities didn’t keep the children busy enough, click “Save Draft” and log out and you can finish later.
Are you tagging?
You will want to add tags to all of your blog posts. They should overlap the keywords you used in your post and category. For example a post about dogs digging might have terms like dog training, digging, bad behaviors, and other tags.
These little tips will help your blog stand out and get more people interested. Plus help you keep focused and keep your sanity. We’ve all had problems where the computer decides to stop working right in the middle of something important.
