When you have a structure, it will be reflected in the layout of the article. You need simple headings for all you points so the article is easy to skim and digest
- Introduction: Set the stage for your discussion.
- Make your point. Explain it. Do this for all points you have.

Relevant Images

Develop an appropriate tone to your writing
First, remember that a blog is a conversation. Try to write the way you speak. It may be helpful to speak your entry out loud before trying to type it or to read it aloud after you’ve written it. Keep your target audience in mind and think of someone you know well and who might want to read your blog will help you relax your writing style.
