Yes, blog should be using simple English so that the readers could understand easily. But even more important is the navigation of the blogs and the other links available. It must be properly arrange so that visitors could find what they want to find. Blogging for money…

This is a great tip for all those bloggers out there. Sentence construction is indeed one of the most common difficulties a blogger experiences (whether he’s an English speaker or not). In this act, you really need to consider a lot of factors such as grammar, spelling and appropriate words to be used.

But I’m not saying blogging is a hell of a difficult job. In fact, it’s fun!

@MorganLighter: this post is written by guest blogger, not me. But I do agree to use simple sentences in blog entries. You can use a few simple sentences to get a message to your readers, instead of a single loooong sentence. Not everyone can get the message in a looong sentence. personally, I like the KISS principle.

Liew – Do you mean that we shouldn’t use long, stretched sentences to get a message or a point across to the readers which whom we are trying to induce to visit our site regularly and, hopefully, increase our site traffic so that we can have a higher page ranking and therefore become famous.
Oh.

well, i’m a new blogger and i got ‘junior high school’ level as well. I agree with AhTim on using plain simple english. Nobody wants to read white paper english on a blog. Besides, most blogs provide unofficial information hence should not need to be worded like a uni dissertation paper.

anyway, my two cents on the blog readability tool is that most malaysian blogs won’t get high ratings simply because many of us choose to localise our blogs for local folks by inserting some manglish every now and then. then again, nobody knows the algorithm or criteria in which the tool processes and determines the readability level.

Hahahaha! I really love the Blog Readability Test! It actually works on normal websites too. I tried putting in my university’s website and it said “College (Undergrad) Level”. Makes perfect sense eh? ^_~
