At Least Check Your Titles

We are all guilty of typos.

A slip of the finger, the wrong key pressed and look, a glaring miss-spelling.

And I understand a lot of people can't proof read. They look at the word and see what it should be instead of what it is.

So I'm just going to suggest one thing.

If nothing else, please thoroughly check the title of your blog post.

It's the one place where people will notice a glaring error, so it's really worth getting it right.

Or...

Create your original blog post in Word and use its quite effective built-in spell checker, as well as its somewhat less effective grammar checker, to fix the errors. Then copy and paste it into your blog. As a side benefit, you'll have a backup of your blog post as well.

Just sayin'.

Very good advice...Gramarly (I hope I speld that right) also offers a free spell and grammar checker and that’s also well worth it.

There are numerous software programs (lots of them free) that do a great job of finding errors.

One of my proof readers for my books told me to read my writing out load. Amazing how many mistakes I found when first started doing that.

Some of the editing programs not only check misspelling but check for grammar, punctuation and readability.

Reading backwards works too, as it forces you to look at each word separately.

Hello and thanks so much for sharing. Grammarly is a great tool to have and can help when writing a blog post.

Or use the ABC button in site content

Titles usually become permalinks so a mis-spelling in the title of a post at Wealthy Affiliate becomes a permanent error.

And gets reflected in the permalink.

Good point Phil, but I think they were using Common Core English aka Anything Goes...

Ha.

You can also use Grammarly too I have that too and that to me works better than just spell check just a suggestion of course.
