what you believe are the 5 most important ‘rules’ for writing online



What I understand from my readings, is that one can control who reads the information you send. Your information must be interesting as readers may strait to feel bored or confused and log off. One has to be aware of:

1-Highlighting the important idea or word in your writing (use different colours or fonts to do this).

2-Use sub-headings ( when you explain the subject with sub-ideas).

3-Make sure you have one idea per paragraph (the reader does not like to feel overwhelmed or confused with too much information all at once).

4-Be sure your writing has correct spelling and grammar.

5-Use helpful links to other web sites.


6-Also, a layout that facilitated scanning (Readers can pick out information more easily from a list than from within a paragraph).

7-Use simple language, free from jargon and bias.
