Making Your Blog MemorableI’ve thought a lot about this, and while I know the following is just my personal opinion on what makes a blog’s writing memorable, read it and let me know what you think.
* The blogger takes a position.
* The position is clearly explained.
* The content of the post sticks to one, two, at the most three points in a theme.
* The blogger’s enthusiasm for the subject matter exceeds mine.
* The blogger’s enthusiasm for the subject encourages mine.
* The words (vocabulary) used reflect the subject matter, enthusiasm and expertise.
* The words invoke images, vivid thoughts, and possible changes of mind.
* There is a body of work to create a sense of trust and respect for consistent subject matter and opinion.
* The topic chosen engages my brain.
* The writing and words chosen engage my brain.
* My brain remembers the post more than 10 minutes after reading it.
* I want to tell someone about what I just read.
* I want to write about what I just read to share it with others.

Nirmal, that’s crazy, you have a high quality blog with original content. It’s great!
And it’s great you’re off blogger too, in my oh-so-humble opinion.
