Getting to the Point in Blogs

Words of wisdom from Leon Mika about getting to the point in blog posts.To expand a bit (without losing the point), I would advise my fellow internet writers to define the point in the writing process and remain aware of it while writing. So long as you have the point in mind, you can consider whether sentence X or paragraph Y materially advances the point in some way or otherwise adds something of value from the perspective of the reader. You can also ensure that the point never becomes subordinate to considerations that do not add value to an interesting reader (see e.g., writing for machines instead of human beings). If yyou have something to say that is beside the point, you may have a “point” for a different article or blog post.
