Blogging style guide - Telegraph-uk

Posted by Harsha

Telegraph UK has come with a comprehensive blogging style guide which offer guidance to those who are new to blogging. The guide discusses varies things from Handling blog Comments to Establishing user interactivity to other blog related issues.

Here are some of the most interesting tips from Blog Guide

Try to find relevant links in your post. Get into the habit of directing people to blogs where you have read interesting articles or to sites that provide background on the subject.

Answering back: This is a good standby if you’re stuck for something to write about and several of our bloggers have done this already. Posting a round-up of responses to comments you have received on previous posts is an easy way to defeat ‘blogger’s block’ and increases the level of interaction with readers.

'I saw this and thought of you' - Short and to the point, this post quickly makes readers aware of an article you’ve read or upcoming event that you think will appeal to your readers. You can quickly summarise it and then offer a link to the relevant website.

Handling comments: The purpose of blogs is to allow readers to comment on your posts. Often, particularly when you start blogging, reader response may be very unflattering. Once you demonstrate that you have something constructive to add, you will find an audience and the criticism will settle down.
