3. Try to keep your
facts to the point. Don't go on and on and on and on and on. It gets boring fast. And lots of people have short attention spans.
4. Make the post
colorful! Try not to use really bright colors, though, because then you can't read it and have to highlight.
5.
Smilies brighten up the post and alert people of possible sarcasm. Don't add too much though, because it can take away from your post!
6. Try not to offend people. Keep your
facts straightfoward, your own opinion is important but think before you type it.
7.
Use numbers when stating facts or steps! It's much easier to sort when typing it, and it's easier on the reader, too!
8. Use exclamation points! Show the reader your
enthusiasm!
9. Keep your
vocabulary simple. A lot of kids here are younger and some of them don't understand the longer words.
10. Skip lines between facts. It looks
neater when you post it.
11. If you run out of facts,
don't worry! People will probably add to your guide, anyways!
