Blog Series: The Perfect Blog Post

Gotcha! There is no such thing as the perfect blog post. There are grammatically correct, properly formatted and aesthetically pleasing blog posts, alas no perfect posts. Is butter pecan better than pistachio is better than banana split ice cream? To each his/her own, it's a matter of taste, and so is blogging.

Blogging intimidates a lot of people because they are under the impression that they have to write the perfect post: 3 paragraphs, 7 sentences per and no more than 350-400 words. Hogwash! You've been captivated by 1,200-1,500 words posts and brought to tears by 20 word posts. Some of the most informative, entertaining and poignant blogs are full of images, videos, long posts, short bursts and everything in-between. Mix your content up, have fun and let your creative juices flow.
