Writing article for some blogger is very easy and it can take few minutes to finish one article, for others is not that easy to create an article a day. Writing skills is a gift but we can learn how to write and the best is keep practicing to improve our writing skill.
I’ve seen lots of wonderful blog, read the article and left comment. I’m sure you’ll like a good writing article and you’ll keep coming back to read the next article. I’ve found few wonderful blog with great articles that written well, from my notes the article that make me stay have few things as follow.
Interesting Title. This is the first thing I saw in one article. The title describe the content and asking me to continue to read all the article. This is really important thing on an article.
Picture. Picture related to the article help me to understand the content and some time picture give me a smile so I enjoying the article so much.
Simple Words and Easy To Understand. I always finished all the article with simple words because my English is not good enough. I love to read blogs with simple words.
Link. Provide links (anchor text) that lead me to the other useful article as additional information for the article. The anchor text lead me to another page or article or sources.
Useful Article. The article is really help me, it can be step by step tutorial, news or anything that I really want to read.
Encourage To Leave Comment. The blog author know how to make me to leave comment, even he/she is an expert but he/she always want feedback from the readers. So using comment management on your blog is crucial, some people won’t leave comment because it so hard to leave comment on your blog.
Provide Statistic. People always love to read article with data or statistic. This will give the article an add value that you are not talking nonsense 
If the author talking about his/her Alexa Rank than he/she put a statistic from Alexa on the article.
Like Talking. The author just like talking to me with the article, I really enjoy article like this, the author knew that his/her visitors are human 
Personality. The author put his/her personality on the article. I know the author a nice person, warm and kindly want to make friend with me from the article.
OK guys hope you can add few things that will help us to become better writer for our blog. Share with us here if you have different opinion about the points from the article.
For your information, all thing above 100% base on my personal opinion and I’m not doing any research at all, just try to share what I found from my blogwalking and commenting activities.

Another week passes us and we find our selves with yet another weekly word challenge wrap up.
This week is a little different because we will be making some changes that will hopefully encourage our member to participate a little bit more.
Blog Engage weekly word challenge will be changing from a word to a post type. This suggestion was from Alison and to be honest I sort of loved the idea.
Post types will include a list post and a roundup post. We will allow our member to submit either or seeing this writing challenge is pretty new.
In order to fully understand what these types are I will present the description of each for you all to read.
List Posts – List posts are by far the most popular type of blogging styles. When I search for an example all I could really find was Darren Rowse’s articles but to be honest he explains it very well. From reading the articel it seems very basic. A list post is a post that requires you to have some sort of list within the article.
Types of List Posts
Basic List post – This list post will be very basic. The brief introductory to the post, a list and a conclusion. Apparently this is pretty popular because internet users don’t’ like reading word for word anyways.
Paragraph List Post – This type of list post requires a little more content but still consists of a a list. For every list you will have a small but brief paragraph explaining what the listed number is about.
List within a post – This one is actually very easy to understand. This list type will be a normal articel but inside that articel will be a list.
Round up posts – This type of post will bring together all of ones activities or actions over a specific periods of time onto one article. This can be an articel regaridng what you accomplished throughout the week on your blog, in life or in your career. If anyone has some better example of this I could use them. Not much was found on Google.
This week we will be doing the list post. You have until Next Friday to submit your articel here on our community blog by leaving a comment with the url to your articel submission.
Now without waiting anymore I present to you last weeks weekly word challenge participating articles.

Sometimes I forget that not all our members are blog engage professionals.
Not all of you understand how to fully take advantage of our unique marketing and blogging community.
So I thought it would be most appropriate to share with you our members the best ways to get the most out of our social community.
First things first we are not like digg or mixx or any of those other social networks. I’m just like you as I’m a blogger.
I don’t only suggest I encourage you to try an get as many votes as you wish anyway you wish. I encourage you to submit your own content and if you wish other bloggers content as well.
If you want to create groups that are full of power users I’m fine with that as well. If you want to request votes within our blogging forums or other webmaster forums I’m also okay with that. We have no limitations people this is your community.
What I don’t want to do is limit your marketing abilities within the community and have a handful of power users controlling everything. I think digg, mixx and all other social networks are full of that already so lets stay away from that. With my lenient and flexible marketing rules you have full power over your articles and wither or not it gets published.
My Marketing Suggestions
Without even thinking twice you have to add the blog engage wordpress plugin. we have 4 or 5 to choose from and make sure you add it right beside your tweetmem button. My personal promise to our members is if I see the blog engage button you will always get a retweet from me and most of our members.
Add the digg button. I’m always digging our members stories when they have the blog engage button added. This is my way of saying thanks and you will also notice many of our members have been doing this as well. So start participating and start engaging with bloggers. help us make a difference in the blogosphere.
Take a look at who’s voting for you and add them as your friend. Send them a message using the status update feature thank them for the vote and introduce yourself. This is more then an article submission website. Blog Engage has so much to offer you have to simply use your imagination.
