6 Ways To Improve The Quality Article


The most interesting part of blogging is that we can learn and share at the same time. Blogging is a step "nothing to lose" and would not hurt. In my opinion, with media blog we can build friendships and wider network.

The last few months I see a lot of blogs started popping up of local design, indications are very good! : D I hope to continue growing more and more and more quality content that is on offer as well. Talking about the quality of articles we are talking about the core meaning of the blog itself, its content.

If the content is mediocre and can be found on other blogs, then we will easily forget the blog. So how do I improve the quality of our blog posts? Here are some ways that can be used for a new you want to start nge-blog or for you who already have their own design blog. 


1. Research. 
  
I love this part, most of the latest articles written in the Kick-Graphics was researched from the internet. Because actually I do not really mastered some of the topics I will present. So I have to 'learn' in advance by doing research for a few days or several hours.

For example, such as articles on web surgical portfolio, I really was not too much attention to some elements that are discussed in the article, but because the basic idea already exist (surgical web portfolio), then I just take the time to learn another designer portfolio website, read some articles related and so forth.

Do the research, the articles we write will have a solid foundation.

2. Create a draft of some Important Point
  

While doing research we will find some important points that we can use as the backbone of our articles. Record the points in place with a notepad:) or write it down on paper.

From the points that we can develop a sentence or paragraph that will facilitate support when we write it later. In addition, people also prefer to read the article in the form of points instead of paragraphs all of which are too long and tiring.


3. Use the appropriate picture

To strengthen our article could use an appropriate image to the topic we are discussing. In addition to support functions, images can also be a place of 'rest' for our eyes between paragraphs article.

Even better, for the main image (which will look at the beginning of the article), we are designing your own image. In addition has become imperative for the designer, this method also gives the personal touch on every article we write (even if you only play with the typography, it's very meaningful).

And of course, who do not like the illustration / photo interesting?

4. Do not rush
Never directly pressing the 'publish' after we finished writing. Leave it for 2 hours to 1 day, then reread our writing it. If I need to refine the words that we use, there may be some sentences that sounded strange, the link that has not been added or we can find a picture that is more fitting and appropriate.

Relax, you save first of all writing as a 'Draft'. Unless you nge-blog-style 'news' which is the require to be the fastest in public.

5.  Read the Review and Preview

I used to press the 'preview' first after I finished writing. With the preview we can see clearly and definitely, it will look like what our real article. See if we forget to give h2 or h3 tags, cutting the sentence (text warp) are comfortable in the look or not, all details should be in check even though it ranks only words.

6. Listening The Readers  

This method is very easy, try to monitor comments on your blog, consider whether there is discussion there? or there are readers who give feedback? Take it all and use the observation post that comment on your article further.

In this way, so you know which articles in the likes of the reader and what type of article that can be fun to invite discussion from readers. In addition, the number of comments can not be size, but the content komentarlah the size of an article on wearing or not the reader's mind.

Conclusion. 

Creating a blog is very easy, but maintain and raise it a bit difficult. Well, not difficult as well it should, I believe we all can do it as long as we provide dedication that is not replaceable, that is time.

Got a way to increase the quality of the other articles? Column commentary was waiting:)
