Pem’s Tech Blog

The title is a basic summary. The first paragraph (or opening excerpt) is a slightly more detailed summary. Then the content doesn’t ramble (like most of what I’ve written). Read on for more…

Everything, especially the title and opening/intro should say (through implication) things like “this is about…” and “you should read this post because…” and “here is what you will learn from this post…”

Then if you have enough to say (that is not just pointless rambling), you can put longer content in the main body of the post. Pointless rambling should be avoided even in the body, especially for the kind of posts I was experimenting with (intended to be useful to the point notes). Pointless posts (such as multiple paragraphs rambling about my category names) also suck.

Pictures can be good too and so can videos (of course they can also suck, and that should be avoided too).

Yes, I am aware that I did not follow these guideline in my previous posts O:-)
