Boost Readability For All Your Readers
EzineArticles Expert Author Priya Shah said this in her blog entry today:
There are two kinds of readers online – those who read an article in detail, and those who scan through it. For the sake of the latter, break up your articles into paragraphs, each of which makes a point, and use a title for the paragraph that effectively sums up the points you made in the text.
Write a catchy title for each paragraph. Keep your paragraphs short. Long riffs are difficult to read online. I usually prefer a maximum of 2 to 3 sentences per paragraph, but longer is acceptable. The use of bulleted points and numbered lists also boosts readability.
Perfect timing Priya!
Thanks, Chris! That was quick. I think hardly a few minutes had elapsed between my posting that and your picking it up. More power to blogs! :-)
