		<description>Great advice! 

I just started my blog a few weeks ago and one of the lessons I learned had to do with content. It seemed that readers were more interested off of posts that I produced rather cutting and pasting interesting articles. Also in my blog After The Nikah: A journey into Muslim Marriage, I don&#039;t write posts in any cronological order so I often want readers to explore older posts. What I decided to do was attempt to organize it in a way that had older posts fully accessible on the front page. I think my main issues is staying organized and continuing to make the appearance of the blog more attractive and user friendly.

Thank you for the great post :)</description>

Forget what you learned in English class, in a book, or even some of the things you read on this blog.  There are certain guidelines and pointers that may apply to everyone.  But, when it comes to writing style - the most important thing is what works for you.  

When you sit down to actually write, many times you&#039;ll find that you start off somewhat slow.  After a few minutes, the flow of your post begins to take form and the ideas start connecting.  It&#039;s the beginning part that needs to be looked at, revised, and probably removed.  
 
Whatever you do - do not get stuck on the intro.  By all means, skip it.  The introduction may be important, but readers often skip the intro and get straight into the article itself.</description>

		<description>Just wondering - when you talked about the intro, the first thing we learn in English class and in newspapers is to have an &quot;inverted pyramid&quot; style of writing (your first sentence is the most important one and you slowly break it down). Is it the same with blogging or should there be a different approach to writing our intro?</description>
