What a good blog looks like...

We were given the task to write about what a good blog looks like. Here are my thoughts:

I think a good blog needs to be organized and well-balanced when it comes to the use of pictures. Every post should be well researched and checked for spelling mistakes. Make sure you're using paragraphs, and the "right" amount of pictures. The right amount of pictures depends on the length of your post. If you write very little (less than ~ 100 words) then you don't need a picture but if your post is long you could use a picture every other paragraph. Don't post too many pictures, if you want to post a lot of pictures then maybe you should tag your post as a "picture post" or something like that. This leads me to some other important thing "labels" or "tags". These help your readers to get an overview on the topics and find posts they’re interested in. Besides the content of your post there are some other important things. You should make sure that you use a font which is easy to read. Colors should be picked in a way that your readers won’t get a headache, when trying to read your blog. If you’re not sure on which topics to write about then I’m sure it helps a lot if you take a “stroll” through different blogs to find inspiration.
