WHAT THE BLOGOSPHERE WANTS MORE OF…. I will be working on it.

Blog readers want to see more…..

• clever, concise political opinion consistent with their own views
• benchmarks,quantitative analysis
• personal stories, experiences, lessons learned
• first-hand accounts
• live reports from events
• insight:leading-edge thinking & novel perspectives
• short educational pieces
• relevant “aha” graphics
• great photos
• useful tools and checklists
• précis, summaries, reviews and other time-savers
• fun stuff: quizzes, self-evaluations, other interactive content

Blog writers want to see more…

• constructive criticism, reaction, feedback
• ‘thank you’ comments, and why readers liked their post
• requests for future posts on specific subjects
• foundation articles: posts that writers can build on, on their own blogs
• reading lists/aggregations of material on specific, leading-edge subjects that writers can use as resource material
• wonderful examples of writing of a particular genre, that they can learn from
