After you are through being torched by the tech while building your blog,  you will have the challenge of building a following with your Blog.  While having a functioning and good-looking site is important,  you will have to make sure that your chosen subject is explained clearly with good English.  Spelling has to be right on, and good punctuation helps.  We all know what good spelling is all about, and most of us have a spelling editor with our Word Processors or with our Blogging software.  But what is good punctuation all about?

Here at  “The Bloggers Market Group“  I actually have an editor that comes behind me to clean up my messes.  If you have no such advantage, where do you start ?  Well……..

Punctuation is defined as:  “The act or art of punctuating or pointing a writing or discourse; the art or mode of dividing literary composition into sentences, and members of a sentence, by means of points, so as to elucidate the author’s meaning.”

That came from the 1913 Webster.  I guess that’s the King’s English !  My point is this, while we all have spell check,  we need to make sure we are making sense to our audience.  I never really appreciated this until I started Blogging. To this end, I’m going to point you to some resources for new writers.

First, take this test, if you can’t get a 100, it’s back to school for you. Me …….. I’m headed to summer school for sure, got a 55 !

Second, if you failed that test, enter summer school here. Good Luck, you’re going to need it !
