BloggerVenue

On my regular reading throughout the blogosphere i see many writing types and ways to organize posts.

I like to feel that a blogger has put some effort on the post he just published. This can be seen on the way he structures the post, on the way images are used, if they fit well on the content, or if they are able to show the message he wants to transmit to his fellow readers.

The majority of bloggers do this, although i think bloggers shouldn’t be afraid of using images on their posts. Some even go to a different level of post structuring. In some posts we can see that the blogger organized a logical sequence to write his ideas, and they even divided the post in topics to make reading easy.

This is honourable, and im happy to see that many bloggers follow this, but 90% (estimated, not calculated :p) of bloggers fail to do/remember one thing, that in my opinion, will make their posts look better.

Text Justify - Bloggers simple don’t do it

That’s right, for one reason or another, bloggers don’t justify the text in their posts, for one reason or another.

I can only speculate, but either they don’t think justified text is important, or they simply forget to do that. I continuously forgot to do this. But not any more. For some time now, the majority of my new posts have their text justified (i may have forgotten 1 or 2, shame on me lol), and i really like the results.

College essays have rules. One of them is precisely the one im talking about. If we do this for college works, why not do it on our blogs?

What does it look better?

Align Full

Align Full is the expression used in wordpress text editor. You can simply use it with one click. The button is just right of Underline and left of Select Text Color on the second row of your editor. If you don’t see these you will need to click on the button that says Show/Hide Kitchen Sink.

“Bad” Examples

I could give many examples of bloggers that don’t do this, but as i said, 90% don’t, so i could be here forever and make you fall a sleep, and i don’t want that.

So here is a list of bloggers that don’t do this and i think they could earn something by doing it:

Chetan from Thewwwblog

Syed from Balkhis

Alan from Affiliate Confession

Mattaw from Moneybites

Lucas from Netstrife

Even big bloggers like John Cow, ShoeMoney and John Chow fail doing this :p (i wonder why the last two don’t don’t have a link? lol)

Good Examples

Javo from Mr. Javo

Jason from Jason Boom

Yan from Thou shall blog

Jason Pereira from The University Kid

Just my two cents Cheers everybody!
