I also believe writing short sentences is a must. When you write long sentences, you may lose interest. I have been a content writer for many years. I am also paid to create blog postings for my client. Wonderful tips. :-) http://contentwritersrevenue.yolasite.com/ Melanie I think you have made some great tips for everyone to read.

One reason people don't read on the web is that the content on the web is written like this. If we wrote more engaging and educated content, (some) people would read it.

I never thought about the tense on the writing effecting the quality (ie Present VS Past). Also the use of positive writing. The troops seems like a good example of that. This really does a good job of covering just about everything! Interesting. I never thought about the tense on the writing effecting the quality (ie Present VS Past).

If your blog speaks to a specific niche, the language you use should reflect the qualities of that group. I agree that keeping it short and avoiding long paragraphs (mea culpa!) are the keys to cultivating readership.

I love writing my blog and have found that by keeping it short, positive and by not taking myself too seriously that I am gettting feedback and people coming back on a regular basis. The google adsense revenue isn't great but pays for the hosting and the odd coffee and cake! I try to keep it relevant to one specific category ( living/life in Spain) and so far it seems to work. i do it for love not money, but when you do make some money, well that's the icing on the cake!

I was terrible at writing out of school and never really paid much attention about writing clearly.... After I got interested in trying to build a couple of blogs and started re-reading my articles it became clear that I needed to think about it. I've improved... at least I hope I have! ;-) I liked this article alot, wrote a couple of thoughts about it on my blog. Peace! This is fantastic.
