Then, read your post. How does it sound to you? Make sure it “sounds” right. Make sure you understand it and think of the people who will read it. Next, run the ABC grammar and spell checker that comes with your membership. Saved my bacon on several occasions.

After you have run the spell checker, read it again. Look for words that may mean something you don’t want to convey. See if there is anything you want to add, or maybe take away.

Run the spell checker again, then read it again. Do so until you are comfortable with your blog or post. Unless you are a good proofreader, don’t try to second guess the spell checker!

Then, ask yourself this question – will people want to read what I have written? If you’re selling something, will anyone want to buy it?

For better writing.

Yes I agree but some of us are new and we hope here at WA is a learning place where we are trained.

I agree, Joe! Whenever I see something with poor grammar/spelling, I don't consider it worth while to read.

All of us make mistakes, now and then. However, when presenting an article for the world to read, we need to be sure that it is well written. For those who feel they are not capable to produce quality content (in that respect), there are other avenues they can look at for assistance.

I normally notice mistakes, having been a legal assistant for many years. So, I hope there aren't any here, with what I've written. : )

Thank you for this post that has brought attention to this matter … in creating well-written articles for our websites!

Blessings,

Cathy

I agree. So much poor writing and there is no excuse.
You feel for some of them as they are so sincere.

Excellent points, Joe. So many times, you see obvious spelling or grammar errors, and that can turn what would have been a great post into one people avoid. I think this is one of the main points to pay attention to when writing.
