Cory Doctorow on “How to be a top blogger”

September 10, 2007 – Libby Davy – Print

Some great tips here for all budding bloggers by net guru and writer Cory Doctorow. Well worth viewing to get the real meaning, but here’s the top three tips:

  1. write headines like a newswire writer, ie. be specific, short and sweet
  2. open with a traditional news style lead paragraph with who, where, what, why, when - or at least the key information right up front.
  3. respect your readers.

Or so Cory says. Click through to also consider what Jakob Nielsen has to say about making web pages user-friendly.
