Who Can Say Pizazz?!

After reading through all of the different kinds of posts, I have realized one thing... I can't stand anything boring to read. Now, I'm not talking about a single topic, but just in general a way someone writes.

I've read through political, acadmic, and personal blogs and here are a couple things that I found I liked best:
  • Humor is key to make a serious topic or situation a little more light hearted and easy to read: If someone is angry but is funny as well, I don't just see them venting but trying to prove a point
  • Use some kind of color: Either have it be the text or the window, I feel that some kind of color needs to be present, otherwise it's just white and black and words start running together. I then... result to boredom.
  • Pictures explain topics better than words at times: I still am not sure how to put pictures in my personal blog, but hope to do this by next week. I feel that pictures explain things that you can't find exactly how to write down, and it gives the reader something to look at.

Overall, I feel that a lil pizazz never hurt anything, so tie it to your blog and the readers will stay interested longer.
