Let’s have a little fun here. “A Blogging Scenario” is where I start a blogging scenario, the first person reading this can add to that in their comment, the next person would read on from my scenario to the first commentators’, and this can go on. Sound fun? Remember: Be creative! It doesn’t really matter if a UFO suddenly starts flying in either. Here goes…

On a Saturday morning, I’m sitting at my computer, trying to think of a new topic for my blog post. A dog starts barking outside my front door, so I run to see what it wants. On the way, I forgot that I had set up my castle of cards there, along with the cherry with whipped cream on top. I opened the door, and the dog started licking me. Oh great. I’m in a pile of 5 packets of now-bent and ruined cards, whipped cream, a cherry, and a dog climbing all over me.

Take out the bad parts.

According to Stephen King, novelist, is the ultimate secret to suceeding in writing.

But what does it mean? Soften the fall when reporting bad news? Not write bad points when writing reviews? Not exactly. It means choosing the right words.

How do you choose the right words? Simple. Take out the bad or unneeded parts.

Which words are Needed? Wording is Everything.

All the fun is in how you say a thing. -Robert Frost

Timeless posts usually feature tips, techniques, thoughts, stories, whereas news posts focus on current news and a certain news event.

News posts can be used for reference in the future, and a few minutes of enjoyment when reading the post. Other than that, it’s going back to the archives.

Timeless posts are timeless; you can have as much time as you want to push it to the front page of a social networking site.

Why you would want News Posts:

1. Grab headlines. The latest news, on the latest posts.
2. Attract new readers. Even though these have an expiry date, you can use these to attract readers by using catchy headlines such as “How name Could have Saved Millions” and including your own views and tips.
3. Be “in”. You don’t want to be all focused on certain topics; a news post to let readers know you’re still connected with the rest of the world may be helpful.
4. Become a reference. Remember the phrase “Oh yes, I heard about it on so and so’s blog!”? Now you can be mentioned.

Why you would want Timeless Posts:

1.  No expiry date. These can be read whenever– in April, in May, in December, after elections– anytime.
2. More chances of making it big. A lot of people have made it big because of one extreme post, and usually those posts are timeless. They also give you a lot of time to work on advertising.
3. More time. Because there is no expirty date, you can take as long as you want to tell your friends or edit it.
4. Help others. Help your fellow bloggers. Help friends. Help, help. When others get better, you do too.

Everyone has a preference– one, both, or something else? Which one would you prefer, and why? Tell me in your comment!
