PLN 3-Words that define your online presence

I finished reading an article for my third PLN titled, "Words that define your online presence" by The Thinking Stick. I found this blog quite interesting because it is about couple of ideas and standards for a blog to sound it's best. It explains how to deal with blog posting the best with: 'respecting the English language,' by not using Instant message lingo or text abbreviations, to 'avoid sweeping generalizations', to 'not complain' on blogs because people will most likely lose interest, to 'not lose your temper' because everybody can see what you write online, and to 'chill out,' and not be paranoid about the message your voicing out online to everybody.

Knowing what to write about, the importance of blogs, and how to write properly matters very much on blogs, and even in education. People want to read interesting pieces of writing and literature, because that's what draws the most attention. It also matters to me because I would not want to write things that bore others, because it can also present a reputation on what I write.

This makes a connection to the world because many people post blogs on multiple websites and put out many opinions/messages to others. People can often write too many blogs that their writing loses attention and can bore people. This article explains clearly about the solid rules of making the words of blog stand out and seem alive.
