Writing for the web

People read online differently to print. We therefore have to write differently.
People rarely read web pages word for word. Instead they scan the page to see if they can pick out what they are looking for. And the longer the text, the more skimming they will do.

People probably haven’t come to a web page for the fun of it. They have come because they want to find information or do something as quickly and easily as possible.

Unfortunate names

A few weeks ago, I read the post Naming your child could be catastrophic from fellow Bol-anon blogger Edik.

In that post, Edik shared how he encountered some weird sounding names of students while doing a scrapbook project for a school.

Edik himself has an unusual name for somebody in the Philippines. Nowadays, it seems that Filipino parents have a penchant for unique names for their children.

Silence of the blog

This blog is eerily silent for some time now.

There is no dearth of materials nor ideas to write about. In fact, every week if not everyday, I think of and/or come across some topic that I want to blog about.

There is no lost of interest to blog either. In fact, my two other blogs are active. And I also have plans to start two or three blogs more.
