I don’t like underlining – looks like a hyperlink.

Color works very well if not abused. Yellow highlight also.

And it better be short – lots of points – split to other posts and link.

Excellent tips, and I really like that you actually use them yourself in this post (it’s a no-brainer but hey). I always kind of had this principle in my mind but was too lazy to put it to work for whatever readers I might get. I guess now that I’m actually interested in having people read my blog and voice opinions, etc. I should take their reading preferences into account!

It is good to make posts scannable but that involves a basic knowledge of copywriting as well or you have a chance of making it look good but not worth reading. A good design can help a lot though.

Hi Darren,

While many people scan there are also people who read every word – despite the time it takes.

I’m one of those, as I like to suck up all the education I can!

And I know I’m not alone. The beauty of lists and formatting is that it gives the scanner stuff quickly and also allows the full post reader to read the whole thing too.

This is what I was looking for. Right now the Default CSS is also bit messed up so I will have to tune it up and make the content look more readable by the users.

List and Blockquote was a nice idea. Thanks.

[...] Diversos estudios muestran que los usuarios no leen al completo el texto de las páginas web, en realidad realizan un escaneo sobre las páginas en busca de frases y palabras clave que les interesen.
