Mcneri’s Blog

This post will expose a few misconceptions about blogging. Every now and again, this question pops up on a blogger’s mind: Where is the best place to blog? At first glance, blogging would seem to be something one can only do on a computer, with an internet connection and the GUI. However, there are there are many other possibilities and we only have to tap into those to give our blogs that personal touch they deserve and that is what keeps your readers coming back.

Pen and Paper Blogging

Some of the best blogs have been written with a pen and a paper. This style works and I would reccommend it as one of your blogging styles for the following reasons

1. Personally, when I do the Pen and Paper Blogging, I write longer posts and there is rarely the distractions that come when you have RSS feeds streaming constantly. Pen and paper away from the computer works for me. I am more disposed to reading my posts over, while still writing and penning a more systematic essay.

2. The Pen and Paper blogging also forces further proof-reading when we eventually want to transcribe it onto our editor in the control panel of our blog. There comes in another spell-check, automated by your browser if you are using Firefox and Wordpress itself too (the first spell-check was when you were writing it manually)

3. I am afforded a second chance at sentence and copy construction/re-construction that makes the copy read better.

4. With Pen and Paper posts, there is ample opportunity to add to the post because there is a time gap between when you write and when you post to blog.

5. Pen and Paper blogs can be typed by your secretary or your child while you are busy with some other things. If you have concerns about links, well our good Zemanta will come in handy as it suggests the latest blog posts related to your topic. Also there is a wordpress plugin called aLinks from drupal. This plugin helps you deep-link your posts so linking is no problem.

There you go. So it is not as we would think. Blogging with Pen and Paper has hidden advantages and every blogger should tap into them to produce great copy.
