Writing and Formatting Tips to Increase Blogpost Engagement; Part Four

Written by Robyn T. Braley

Writing content for blog sites or other online platforms requires a different approach than writing essays, reports or articles for magazines and newspapers. Content that effectively tells engaging stories builds communities requires thought, discipline and crafting.


Some years ago online experts believed that blog posts should never have more than 500 words. They believed that people wouldn't read longer articles. 

That has changed. While short is always good, it must not be at the expense of meaning. 

The general rule of thumb today is to write as much content as you need to tell your story. Editing and common sense will tell you when the story is finished.

A judge in my city writes posts that are 7,000 words long. He has a large following in the legal community who read every word of whatever legal position he is putting forward.
