<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1. What have you learned about writing for a blog?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2. How has your blogged changed during the semester, and why? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">3. How is blogging important to your chosen major/career?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">4. How has blogging in this class affected you?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">5. What have been the most important lessons from the class?</span></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Organize your answers, not by numbers but with a catchy headline, and subheads and or visuals to break up the answers and make the post attractive. You will be graded on the originality of thought and presentation, depth (two or three sentences is not enough), and appearance of your answers.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">For example:</span></span><br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'm a blogging fool</span></span></b></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I've got the "write stuff"</span></span></i><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">xxx</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i>Look down, look down that lonesome road</i> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">xxx</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">xxx</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Y<i>ou can't dance if you don't move </i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">xxx</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">xxx</span></span><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Lessons from the laid back </span></span></i><br />

Here was my advice:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Six reasons to blog--</span></span></b></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You need a quality digital
“footprint” to get a start on a career in the highly competitive communication
field. A blog can be part of that—I have former students whose blogs helped get
them jobs.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You have a passion and something
original you want to say that can be sustained over time.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You can write grammatically
correct sentences, enjoy writing and can
organize your thinking.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You are willing to work at it
because quality blogging takes a lot of preparation and time.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You enjoy learning and change
because blogging is always changing.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You have an eye for effective
design and readability.</span></span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span>
<ul>
<li><b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Six reasons not to blog--</span></span></b></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You can’t write a grammatically
correct sentence punctuated correctly.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You only want to rant, gripe or
whine about a specific subject.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You have no passion or nothing to
say. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You are just blogging because you
think you should.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You’re lazy and don’t want to put
in the time.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You don’t really want a career in
communication.</span></span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When I started writing a monthly newspaper trade column 20 years ago, the Internet was relatively new, as was email. There were
no blogs, no Facebook, no Instagram, no twitter. Digital cameras were high
priced.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span></span>
</h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-7141675504144218793" itemprop="description articleBody">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I remember teaching headline
writing in classes and for the Oklahoma Press Association. At the time, I always said the headline was the
most important element on a page, because it accomplished four different chores
at once. They grab attention, tell the story, rate the news, and help dress up
your pages.</span></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today, there are still headlines,
and all of that is still true.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But while the way we write
headlines has changed dramatically with digital type, they accomplish even
more. Ever hear of SEO (Search Engine Optimization)? Of course you have.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tell me, isn’t that what a good headline has always
been?</span></span><span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(<span style="font-size: large;">That's also why you need to put labels after each post...they help your readers search for your ideas, and increase SEO) </span></span></b></span></span><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And today, as our attention spans
get shorter and shorter thanks to digital media and the explosion of speed delivering
news in all media, they’re crucial to attracting impatient, hurried,
distracted-by-other-media readers.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I just “read” the <i>New York Times</i> this morning. How? By
scanning the headlines on the computer.
Check any other news outlet on line. People scan the headlines and
expect to come away with a general sense of what has happened. We’ll go back
and read the ones we want more information in later. All the Internet search
engines spend lots of money trying to come up with catchy headlines to attract
you to their pages, and thus boost ad hits.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Nothing new, is it, except the
media and the speed?</span></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For bloggers, they're more important than ever. </span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">All those old headline practices
and tips that I’ve taught, or written about in the past have
changed with the digital world. To me, there are only two rules in headline
writing these days: </span></span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Be accurate. Don’t be boring.</span></i></span></span>
</div>
</blockquote>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">They are one important key to attracting readers to your posts. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So, here’s a brief how-to
checklist on writing headlines, in any media, especially blogs.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span>What’s the key point of the post?
</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What will most appeal to your readers?</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span>Make a list of the strongest, most concrete
nouns and verbs</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Have you chosen words that are trending in search engines? </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Use action verbs when possible</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Use short words <span style="font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span>Look for anything unusual<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span>Is there any play on words you can use to
heighten interest?</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Use the shortest words possible </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Use the biggest type you can (for print version)
</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Use consistent legible type (no fancy fonts)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Get to the point early </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">More label heads are ok—one or two strong
words—with or without a verb (Let a subhead add essential details)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Edit—ask yourself if you can write it more
briefly</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>What makes a bad headline? A good one? </b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Students: check the headlines on your posts and see how they measure up.<br />
