Keep it short - most people tend to skim content when reading online. Use lots of headings and bulleted lists to make it easier for people to hit the high points. Keep it simple
Wow, this is an interesting tool! I put 2 separate posts in and got a 48 on one and a 61 on another. Hmmm, makes one think. :)
Yep, this is pretty handy. It was eye-opening to me to find out I was writing on an 11th grade level. I though it was lower. So I was able to make adjustments.
This tool is a good way to find out how to make your posts more readable. You have to keep it easy so people can skim through it quickly!.
I went and took part of one of my blogs and this is what it checked as:

Grade Level: 7
That is copied out of the writing tester.

Thanks for this post and the link.
