This was already posted on The Forgotten Autistic in early September. This post was actually going to posted right after the premiere, though I moved it to the other blog instead. Regardless, I wanted to post the “best of” (even when this blog isn’t a month old!) as the last year has been very difficult year for me, and these feelings and experiences  are coming at the worst timing for this blog. I promise that sooner or later I will get this blog to what I’ve been meaning to do about figuring out what the definition of “relationships” are and how define what “love” is. I herenow introduce you to the post. 
This post discusses my discipline as a writer and publisher of the couple of blogs I manage and the method to my skill as a blogger.
I think writing issues and stories on blogs are important. The ease of building a blog within a day is much easier than building websites to write stories and issues. (Not to say that we need websites – I actually don’t like how some websites are based on blogs -since that is an “easier” way to manage content – it looks too simple.)
I have a lot of experience in blogging. I started with LiveJournal (does anyone remember them?), then to MySpace (as a public journal and also journalizing my life too), then Blogger (which really surprisingly sucked given it was a Google product) and then to WordPress. I’ve learn from both my experiences as a writer and as a reader to another’s blog.
I’ll admit I love the attention that comes into my blogs 🙂 With that being said, I want to make sure when someone is reading my blog, that I get their undivided attention. I want to make sure my reader fully understands my thoughts, views, etc. Secondly, while its important to get as many eyeballs as possible, the next most important thing is to retain as many as those eyeballs as possible. In order to keep the attention, its best to stay on the point, and try to not overwhelm them (another way of steering away attention.)
The last piece is to make sure the actual look and feel fits the substance of the blog. One has to make sure the blog isn’t too “high strung” with strong colors, and JPEGs that won’t just potentially burn your computers CPU or GPU but your own CPU in your brain. Nothing is more overwheling to a reader seeing oversized pictures and having difficulty trying to read the context of a specific post.
Its also important to keep your thoughts as tight (AND organized) as possible. In my stylebook, I try to keep a short subject paragraph up to five or so sentences and a longer subject no more than ten sentences per paragraph. Its also important to do a Subject line, and boldfaced to give your reader ether a reading break or have it broken down. Also, if there’s a quote, use the quote format, if theres a message you want to place loud and clear, boldface that phrase or statement. I try to keep general posts no less than a thousand words and anything above that four figures to be classified or intended as an “essay.” Its kinda like how print reporters are put into pressure to keep a certain story within a hundred or two of words, a TV reporter to have that “minute-thirty” package as tight as possible or even a radio reporter to keep her report within 20 seconds of a soundbyte if that.
If you want your voice heard loud and clear, its really important to be as organized as possible. Some people might not be born to be public speakers or writers, but to help with that issue, its best to have a rundown, start with things in an outline form (as I call the Talking Points), and it doesn’t help to do PowerPoints, if you are doing speaking events. I’ve seen people (actually with special needs) not getting their thoughts out clearly because of a lack of simple organization and thought processes.
With that said, I did this within 520 words!
