Day 2 of 31 Days to Build a Better Blog

 
 Niamh, 16 days old
A wee shot of Niamh at 16 weeks old - she's 6 months old now and I can't believe how big she is!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today's challenge from Problogger was to write a list post. He taught us:

8 Reasons Why List Posts are Powerful for Bloggers

1. Lists are Scannable

2. Lists keep posts succinct


3. Lists look ‘neat’


4. Lists can be comprehensive


5. Lists are persuasive


6. Lists can add to the ease of writing

7. Lists go Viral

8. Lists break down the complicated


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So today's task was to write a list post. Yet again I felt slightly disadvantaged because:

a) I had an early start with the girls

b) I had a 3 1/2 hour drive south to my parents' home

c) I am blogging, once more, at 2am.


Then I realised that what I had just written could probably count as a list post! Tempting as it was to leave it at that, I set my brain into first gear and had a wee muse to myself as to what my list post should be!


Problogger gave us some excellent examples of list posts, a couple of examples being:

10 Steps to the Perfect List Post

and

Top 10 Blogs for Writers – 2007/2008

Also useful was a list of 301 list posts!


It did occur to me that this is a technique I have probably employed often, especially with my photo blogs. And many Xangans also use this as a means to blogging.

So I decided to keep my list short and to make it personal.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

4. I nourish their curiosity and love of animals and nature.

5. I give them the respect they deserve and teach them to respect others.
