Yo Planet Minecraft,

I've been trying to read through some of the blogs on here and I've noticed that there are many young people who are creating blogs. I do not have a problem with this, and I encourage younger people to write more as writing can be something really handy to express thoughts and feelings otherwise difficult to put out into the public.

However, I've noticed that many bloggers seem to be writing in a same obnoxious style. I am here to give most of you on here some tips on how to write better, and keep people interested. 

I'd like most of you to know that to make your blog unlike others is to write in your own style. Your style defines who you are as a writer, and to understand what a "writing style" is I advise you to see other blogs. Your writing style however does not mean that you can add or remove punctuations -- too many commas and the misuse of capital letters can be frustrating for many readers.

Besides punctuations is the use of alineas. Nobody likes to read a blog or post that does not have any alineas. Here are some examples regarding the lack of alineas:
http://www.planetminecraft.com/blog/why-there-should-only-be-three-types-of-servers/
http://www.planetminecraft.com/blog/mc-raicism-on-youtube/

Alineas are meant to keep specific sub-subjects of the overall post seperated. When a new sub-subject arises, you should create a new alinea.

My last tip is to write as if you are the reader. Do not loosely put your thoughts into a post. Try your best to pull in the reader -- making him the important person within the blog.


That was all, for now. 

Best Regards,
 - Panda

Excuse me for that, haha. I'm not a native English speaker -- I tend to translate Dutch words to English without rechecking it. :P
