Tag: blogger's style guide

Here are the quick links to my Blogger’s Style Guide, which I've posted over on my Subs' Standards blog as a series of 10 posts.  This is the ‘how-to’ that I give to my company bloggers when they start writing posts for their employer’s blog. It acts as a support document for those who know their subject well, but know little about blog writing or publishing in general.

Blogger’s Style Guide

1. How is blogging different?
2. What readers like / ideas for your posts
3. How to structure long posts
4. Short or long?
5. What does SEO mean for writers?
6. Links are good!
7. Five tips on tone
8. Comments and feedback
9. Writing a good title
10. Don’t fall foul of your boss – or the law!

Of course, what happens after the raw copy comes in is a whole 'nother series about content and blogger wrangling.

I'm also finding that this is overlapping with my Content Strategy work so I'm hoping to add posts on #CSforum10 here on this blog soon for those interested in the Content Strategy Forum in Paris last month.But I'd rather do it in context of my ongoing content strategy audits rather than just report back on the event so need to sort some permissions first.
