How To Make Blog Contents Attractive

With all the new web technologies and media available today, creating a blog is quite similar to creating a portfolio or a resume; it has to stand out, and it has to be visually appealing. Readers are as similar to the HR personnel reviewing your documents, if it's just like any other, perhaps you will not get a follow up in the future; on the other hand, if it's interesting and it is something of value, you may just get a reader, or a job interview.

1) Define the niche
A blog must have a defined niche in which to operate from; for instance, a blog that features reviews on sports cars, cooking blogs, and so on. a blog needs to maintain it's posts within the context of its niche.

2) Communicate information and cater them appropriately
Depending on the type of niche, a blog should also cater it's media appropriately. I.e. A photography blog without many photos would be rather pointless. Other media such as videos, downloads, music would be a bonus.

3) Add a human touch to the blog
When the blogger adds a personal touch to a blog it allows its readers to feel closer and more attached to the blog. This can be done by posting replies to comments, or even chatting with readers.

4) Consistency of posts
Important issue is the consistency and continuation of the blog posts that will ultimately lead to an attractive blog. A reader would not be adding a blog which last blog post was 1 year ago to their RSS feed.
