Follow me, if you will, to a time where all blogs lacked color, organization, and pictures. Doesn\u2019t that sound like a nightmare? I guess it\u2019s good then that we have authors like Rosenwasser & Stephen or Rorabaugh to save us from entering into such reality. Without the critical advice of these authors who would save us from blogosphere disasters? There is so much information out there and without guidance I fear that readers will self-destruct. However, thanks to Rosenwasser & Stephen we, the blogging universe, now know that it is the responsibility of a good writer to make order of information for the reader\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n

All that readers want to do is to type in the desired URL and have everything carefully placed for their convenience. For example, most readers at this point expect to find an indication of the topic at hand on the top left hand corner. Depending on the type of blog at hand readers will want the author to spare them as much time as possible by providing a clear and concise snapshot of the story. Believe it or not readers do have lives beyond perusing the Internet and appreciate it when they get their dose of info as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

In addition to clear and concise material, readers also expect to be given the most up to date information possible. Nothing sucks more than to call your best friend about Kim Kardashian delivering her baby two weeks late! Therefore, if a blogger wants to keep his\/her audience coming back they have to ensure they\u2019ve got the minute to minute on what\u2019s going on, especially in entertainment news. As Brian Caroll states the public has developed a higher tolerance for error in these areas, however, they won\u2019t to be too forgiving if credibility is a major problem.<\/p>\n

In regards to credibility there are several areas that will be scrutinized closely and will make or break a blogs viewership. Your have about three seconds to grab the readers attention with your content design and text length. If your layout looks like it\u2019ll take some time to decode, you\u2019re out. Also, if it doesn\u2019t come with all the bells and whistles that an attractive blog should have, it is likely that readers will move on. I know it sounds like a lot of pressure but hey if you can\u2019t take the heat stay out of the kitchen!<\/p>\n

Nowadays readers not only want you to share with them all that you know in relation to your subject matter but they also want to be able to share it with their friends. After all who doesn\u2019t want to be friends with the person who has the latest scoop! So in order to help your reader stay hip it might help to add a few buttons for Twitter and Facebook. Trust me when I tell you they will appreciate it immensely and so will you if it can gain your blog more exposure to different readers. In retrospect it may seem like all you\u2019re doing is giving but you\u2019ll be elated as you see the traffic on your site soar through the roof! Go bloggers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
