Blogging is not something everyone can do or even has the
patience/time to do, so even getting out there and trying to do so is something
to brag about in this day and age. Additionally, coming up with a visually
awesome blog post can sometimes be seemingly comparable to rocket science.
Instead of constantly trying to scrounge for ideas to make your posts
aesthetically pleasing, make sure your entry ticks the boxes for all of these
elements.
1. Technically and
Creatively Awesome Headings
Headings are extremely important when it comes to making
your blog post visually awesome. The H1 tag is typically the proper use for
major headings, while the H2 takes care of subheadings. Headings title the
post, and the subheadings are fantastic for breaking the post up into sections,
much like what you see with this piece.
The second piece to the puzzle of headings is creating an
awesome title. Descriptive wording that makes use of keywords and buzz terms
are great for headings.
2. The Proper Use of Images
Images are fantastic elements for any blog post that is
lacking in something unknown. Images are great for doing things like serving as
visual aids, further conveying emotion or ideas, catching the reader's eye, and
more. Not all of your readers are going to retain information phenomenally just
by reading what you have to say. Visual learners also read blogs, so make it
easier on them as well by including purposeful and clever images.
3. Solid Blog Design
A solid blog design will strengthen your post's layout, and
it will keep the reader engaged and reading on for more information. Some
things that keep readers from bouncing include share buttons, search boxes,
content above the fold, a reasonable amount of links, controlled advertising,
and so much more.
4. Using the
"List Style" Post
If you haven't noticed, "list style" blog posts
are becoming more popular than ever before. Blog posts with titles such as
"10 Things You Thought You Knew About SEO That Aren't True At All" are
definitely on the rise and that's because they have superior readability. Take
advantage of this trend and start incorporating it into some of your posts.
5. Incorporating Balance
Lastly, balance is required for a visually awesome blog
post. You can balance your post by including various elements such as
call-to-actions in the correct spots, relevancy throughout the post, side bars
to help enclose the post, headings to break the post up, and more. You will
discover more about blog post form and balance as you blog more, and you'll
take lessons away from the posts of yours that did well.
