How to write an engaging blog entry

We think of blogs as a space to: express your opinion on a given topic; reflect on a particular experience or set of related experiences; use this platform to start a conversation with other people and invite responses. Some more general tips about blogging:

  1. An attention getting title attracts readers
  2. Keep it short, around 250 words
  3. Use links to other sites to stream-line your text and improve readability
  4. Use lists or bullet points when possible
  5. State your opinion early and clearly
  6. Use an informal style; no academic prose needed
  7. Feel free to include visual or audio material
  8. Pose questions to other readers to invite conversation

We look forward to reading your posts and having productive conversations! Thanks for joining our community.
