Blogs by nature feel informal, they should make you feel like the screen is your friend and it has written you a quick letter. But, as with most things in life, appearances can be deceiving. The craft of writing informally is almost harder than writing formally. Every comma, fullstop and slang word used has to be in it's place or the reader's experience will turn from enjoying friendly banter to being turned right off.
Problogger wrote a good article today about the importance of fullstops in headings. yes, that's right. Fullstops in headings.
Because when you want to be good, very good, every bit counts, and telling your readers to stop before they have even started is just about the best way to ensure your readers go elsewhere.
After reading your short post I can't help asking you to review my new blog. I'm concerned mostly about my English quality.
Nobody ever told me anything but they're just polite, I'm afraid.
Many Thanks!

Hey, just wanted to let you know that it's written Nataile instead of Natalie on the header, on top of this page.
Maybe you already know, maybe you don't write here anymore, but just in case...

Hey, while searching for widgets for my blog, I stumbled upon www.widgetmate.com and wow! I found what I wanted. A cool news widget. My blog is now showing latest news with title, description and images. Took just few minutes to add. Awesome!

Hey Tim & Natalie,
Thank you for passing on this powerful blogging tip. As a Business Intuitive, I always advise "trusting your gut", following your heart" and "trusting yourself".
The "full stop" advise is counter intuitive. It revealed to me a place where I was not present to my intention of having people reading my posts.
Cheers,
Terry

The best way to reach top level executives is through email.Recently i have purchased 50,000 C level executives email list from Acquirelists and the results was amazing. i got a 250% ROI and the otherway is you can clean or update your existing corporate database, where you can update/append emails and data cleansing or hygenie. Iam using Acquirelists as my list vendor.

Whilst we're on the subject of grammar, "in it's place" should read "in its place".
