5 Easy Tips to Write Winning Web Articles.

Looking for another no cost promotional tool? Your fee will simply be an investment of a small block of your time and writing what you know most about. But there are a few things to keep in mind when writing for the web. Long paragraphs are usually acceptable for print media; they are not for the web. If you want to write articles that web users will love to read and put to use follow these 5 simple tips:


1. Make your article scan ready. A study by Jakob Nielson publicized as guru of web page usability by the New York Times published that only 16 per cent of his test users actually read the copy they found online; 79 per cent of them simply scanned it. Your impatient web readers will want important information to jump out at them. Some practical ways to make your text scannable are: headings, sub-headings, bulleted list, numbered lists, easy steps and/or typeface variation. For example, compelling headlines are considered an art. Are you drawn to the author’s article as “How to Write Web Articles” or “5 Tips to Write Winning Web Articles?”
2. Keep it short. Get and keep the attention of web readers by delivering short messages. You put effort into gaining your web reader’s attention; now make their click worthwhile with brief compelling copy in bite sizes. Start with the conclusion. Your readers may not make it to the end of your piece to get it. Web readers don’t want to get bogged down in long blocks of text. So get to the point early and use the rest of your article to support that main point.

Diary of a Mad Web Developer


Nearly 50% of Internet Users lose data. Information like important spreadsheets, personal files, digital photos and business documents. As, a web developer (even a non-techie one) I admit I know better but somehow I got slack. My schedule was over-full; I got distracted and my habit of backing up (Non-Techie Note: saving valuable data files somewhere other than hard drive) my data went to the way-side. Not long ago, Geeks-On-Site gave me the dreaded call, “Your hard drive was uncoverable…” After hanging up the phone, I searched frantically through my back-ups and to my horror my last backup was dated….before some of my very valuable stuff was created. Urgh! Anyway, I thought I would start this dialogue of the SCRIBE’s CORNER with a nice: Learn from my mistake speech. If you haven’t started back-ups of your most valuable computer files or gotten slack, go right now and put your plan into place. Habitually back up your files. Now that‘s taken care of. Have a great week. eb .
