My First Blog
Well, well, well At last i have published the first blog on my website and oh what an experience it was. It took me three days to research,write and publish. It was very slow going because i read and reread the lessons, decided on my keywords, did my research and wrote but my problem was how to end it.
I did some further readings and learnt the following which i will share with you
You can close by
1 Asking a question
2 Giving a concrete suggestion
3 Inspire a feeling
but what stands out most with me is this. "When one finishes reading your content what do you want him to do next?"
I think this question if borne in mind when writing can point us in the right direction'
I shall be obliged if you visit my domain at http://www.weightlossnyou.com and give me a feedback on both my website and content.

Hey Man. Congratulations on getting your first blog post! We all started there, with our first one.
Just like Jessbarz said below, it seems like your text is formatted a bit funny. Did you write it in another program, such as Microsoft Word, and copy and paste it into WordPress? If so, that may be the problem.
It seems like your sentences are broken up by unnecessary "returns". Or like you pressed the "enter" key in the middle of them to advance to the next line.
Remember that WordPress will automatically format your sentences and paragraphs to look good and advance to the next line. You don't need to press enter to advance to the next line in your WordPress editor.
Another piece of advice: add more pictures. You've got a good start with your text, but I think your post could really benefit from some images and/or diagrams to go along with what you are saying.
Anyways, you're off to a great start. Please let me know if you need anything. I look forward to hearing back from you!

Much thanks Dustin.I wrote it in WordPress but used the enter key to advance to the next line. How can i fix it at this point?
Wherever there is a new line where there shouldn't be, just backspace or delete until the words are connected with no space. Then put a normal space in-between the words and everything should be formatted correctly when you update the post.
I have done it and updated the post. Please give me a feedback now.
I am not sure how to add the pictures.I would appreciate some help here.
Thanks in advance
Hey. It looks like you've gotten the hang of it and have gotten some images. Now, I think you should break your post up into some paragraphs. You can do that the same way you do here at WA. You just need to press "enter" where you want to start a new paragraph.
Anyways, You're off to a good start!
Hello Rutherford,
You have some great information contained within your blog. I think it was definitely worth all the work you put into it. I also really like the look and layout of your website. However, on your blog I saw it as all choppy and distorted. I don't know if that was my computer being weird or the blog itself, but you may want to check its layout to make sure all the sentences are aligned correctly because what I saw had them all over the place. What I saw was this:
This was
your
first sentence.
Again, I don't know if it was me and my computer, but I certainly wanted to let you know in case it was something you needed to fix. Good luck and great job!
jessbarz i am most grateful for your observation and advice. I used the enter key to advance to the next line while working in WordPress and now learn that, that is the cause of the distortion. Any suggestion on how this can be fixed?
