White Paper: Blog Postings and the Lost Art of Writing

Perspectives on the growing need for editorial-quality blog postings.

The skills you need to be a professional blogger don't come easy. They take years of effort and perhaps a million written words before someone can call himself or herself a writer.

White Paper: Blog Postings and the Lost Art of Writing
  1. Do you know what a "greengrocer's apostrophe" is?
  2. Which is correct:"between you and I" or "between you and me"?
  3. What is the purpose of a paragraph?
  4. What's wrong with this sentence: "As far as unemployment, I think there are plenty of jobs"?

This white paper doesn't answer these questions specifically, but to become a professional blogger, you need to know the answers.

The answers, by the way:

  1. An unnecessary apostrophe. For example, "Apple's 50 cents each".
  2. Between you and me. You wouldn't say "between I and you", would you?
  3. A paragraph is a container for an idea. When you start a new idea, start a new paragraph.
  4. It's missing the words "is concerned". "As far as unemployment is concerned, I think there are plenty of jobs".
