6 طرق أن يحافظ ك شخصيّة سفر [بلوغ] يهمّ

يناير - كانون الثّاني 15, 2009 ب [أنيل] [ب.].
يصنّف دون سفر

هكذا يذهب أنت على رحلة ويقرّر أن يخلق [بلوغّر] حساب, [مسبس] [بلوغ], أو [وب بج] شخصيّة [س ثت] ك صديقات وأسرة يستطيع تماديت مع أسفارك. أنت تريدهم أن يقرأ هو يتمّ لا أنت?

ليس يكتب حول يسافر على [بلوغ] مثل يكتب تجربة, غير أنّ أكثر من [نوسببر رتيكل]. التفتت [إينستد وف] يجعل 1 أسبوع رحلة إلى [كنكن] رواية ملحميّة, هو داخل شاهد عيان تقرير [س ثت] أيّ شخص سيريد أن يقرأ هو.

أنت أفقت وتلقّى شاي سليمة, بعد ذلك يتحدّث إلى [سودس] مشاغبة يسكن باب تالية, قبل يمطر حجر غمار, بعد ذلك يفاوض سعرات في السوق… هو كلّ صوى جدّا ممتعة, غير أنّ هو يستعصي أن يهضم [ألّ ت ونس]. Break up each noteworthy sight, event, funny story etc. into multiple posts. That way people can browse through them, focusing on the elements they find most interesting.

5. Add Pictures

Aside from bringing life to your travel stories, pictures are great to post – especially when you’re too busy traveling to write.

6. Use Dots, Numbers, and Fonts

Like newspapers do, they break text up with headlines, bullet points, and often subtitles. Take this particular post as an example, I break down travel blogging into 6 bold-font steps. Don’t let your friends and family be confronted by a solid block of text, scaring them off of ever reading anything you write about.

Generally the people reading about your travels are interested in what you’re doing already - some quick posts that get to the point with pictures will help keep their attention. You can also generate a few bucks towards your next trip by making money with your travel blog.

    hahah my journalism prof talked about the upside down pyramid this week…weird coincidence!

  2. Anil P. says:

    @ Deniz:

    Something I learned in a journalism class ages ago and that has never left me since.

  3. james says:

    3 for sure. I tend to write on and on and re-read to find almost half of it’s repetitive or irrelevant. And cut cut cut.

    And you’re right a nice slideshow of places never hurts to fill in some blogging downtime!

    cheers – james…

    @ James:

    People love pictures!

  5. Wow cool, the pyramid, I’ll remember! :)

  6. D says:

    I like the upside-down pyramid. Thanks (it should better my own writing, too). =P

  7. Anil P. says:

    @ D:

    For some reason in writing classes they teach you the opposite. Write long introductions and keep your thesis for the last line of the opening paragraph.

    Maybe it’s the modern world, but in writing I like the ‘get to the point’ philosophy. I think readers appreciate it.

  8. D says:

    It might depend on the type of writing. Long intros would be good for essays, not blogs. Anyway, I like that philosophy (and the new site layout).

  9. D says:

    Forgot to mention–you’re right in considering your audience.

  10. Anil P. says:

    @ D:

    I agree, there are many cases (like eassys) where the upside down pyramid would not work…but wish it could!

  11. I find that breaking my articles up in sections with subheadings, and especially inserting photos at about 240×160, breaks up the text really well.

  12. Anil P. says:

    @ Byteful:

    Pictures and subheadings let you say more with less and prevent that dreaded ‘chunk of text’ that has even your most loyal reader nodding off.

  13. Very interesting and useful post !
