Signs that your post has gone wrong

Copyblogger has a great post on how to tell when your post has gone off-track.

  1. What’s the point? – I struggle with this one. I have a bad habit of going off on some wild tangent.
  2. Who cares? – You must grab the attention of your readers quickly, or they’ll never finish reading.
  3. Bad Chi – Many bloggers just aren’t natural writers, and it shows. Try to flow.
  4. Detail Dump -More is not better.
  5. The Rambling Road – Bad, bad habit. Go on too long and no one’s listening. If you need to write so much, get a book deal. Blog readers are impatient.

Well that’s my take -not hard, set in stone rules to blog by, but things to keep in mind just the same.
