Hey guys! I'm back, and ready to write! So, I should probably tell you what I've been working on. The reason I haven't posted in a while is because *drum roll* I am turning my Sunflower Resort map (click here to see it) into an adventure map. It's far from finished, but it'll be awesome when it's done.
Anyway, today's topic is about how to have success on PMC. Now, I did not say "big" because, quite frankly, 20 levels is good, but not "big". So, let's get right into it.
First, separate your blog or whatever it is into paragraphs. A big clump of words is not appealing. I usually use the 5 paragraph essay format. It works, and gives the blog a clean polished look. The only exception to this are project descriptions and really short blogs.
Secondly, use proper grammar. Ur, u, r, plz, gr8; NO!!!!! No one wants to decipher what you're (your and you're is another big one) trying to say. Also, use commas! Things like lol, or afk are okay, though. Just don't say, for example, "I told him I would brb."
Third, keep it not too long, but not too short. Nobody wants to read a 6 page essay, or 4 sentences about why you like cake. If you think it's too long and you don't know how to shorten it, you can always put it in two different blogs, but BEWARE! One of the PMC rules is that you can't have a part one, and part two. If it's too short, try adding another idea to it.
Fourth, put links to your PMC posts or even your Youtube channel in blogs or projects or whatever you're writing. I thought for a while that you couldn't do anything like that, but you can! Just be careful of where you link to, because sometimes, it is not acceptable. Also, Adfly cannot be used by those under level 20. I am so sorry level 19 people. Remember, when in doubt, burn your house. Wait, wrong saying. When in doubt, ask a moderator. There we go!
Fifth, do NOT just leave your thumbnail blank. No, no, no, no, no! This does not attract people, and does not look professional. Please, please put a picture. This is how you get people to click on your post, and if they like it, diamond!
My final piece of advice, make it interesting. I can't really tell you how to do this, but I can tell you what has worked for me. Things that have worked for me:
-The nature of Minecraft (it is fun because, why is it fun?, etc.)
-Good stories
-Something incredible you didn't know you could do in Minecraft (example)
-Helpful advice/tips
Hopefully these ideas will help you to make your blogs interesting. As for projects, put in the awesome parts of your build. This should go without saying, but you need that KAPOW! to make people download and/or diamond. The same goes for skins, mods, etc.
Thanks for reading, and I hope that this has helped you in some way. Again, I apologize for not posting for a while. Please comment, I love to hear your feedback. If you liked this, make sure to diamond. Have a great November! :D

I think they were good tips, but you were trying to be so generic that it ended up having several exceptions.
Other then that it is pretty good.
