What Makes A Good Blog

For me a "good blog" is one where a new reader can tell, after reading about 25 to 50 words near the top of the page, what the blog is about: and, preferably, why.

It's one that uses enough graphics to make its point: and doesn't use graphics that don't.

A good blog

• Organizes information clearly
• Employs lean, focused writing
• Eschews Obfuscation
• Uses bulleted lists when appropriate
• Uses posts that stop when they are done communicating
