We are new to this subject and your inputs are really good. Hope I will be able to make use of them. I’ve put a small write-up on your article on my small blog. I know it would be very difficult for you to find time to visit my blog, but if in any way you feel like it and stop by, then give me your feedback.

I be taught one thing more challenging on completely different blogs everyday. It should all the time be stimulating to read content material from other writers and apply somewhat something from their store. I’d want to make use of some with the content material on my blog whether or not you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a hyperlink on your net blog. Thanks for sharing. Nice post.

I knew the importance of a style guide before reading and as such have created small ones for the scopes of online communities I have ran in the past. I came here looking for insight for starting a guide and I must say the bullet points and general post has been more then helpful in giving me a starting thought. Thanks for the Post.

One idea I've considered for my own magazine is to create a web style guide using a blogging platform (in private/invite-only mode) which would include labels and RSS feeds. Users can be alerted to changes via RSS feed and can easily access categories from the labels provided. I’m in awe of how few books have given serious thought to their electronic style guides.

I have been struggling with drift on my blog. This is very helpful to understanding how I can improve the quality of my blog over the long term. What I'm struggling with now, is how broad of an audience to target. I'm trying to help struggling website owners to learn why their websites are failing and what they can do to improve. However, the variety of companies with websites is so broad, I'm wondering if I should focus on a specific industry instead. My fear about becoming too focused is that my potential audience is then too small. I'd love to see an article discussing how a blog author should go about identifying a target market and how the author can determine how narrow of a focus to make. You may have written articles about this already. If so, I'd love to hear about any articles I can read. Best, Ayo Thanks, Jonathan, for this article. I have been struggling with drift on my blog.

I come from a journalism background so the AP style guide was drilled into my head. But I agree it isn't simple. The main thing though is to be consistent with yourself. Andrew: I agree completely about the AP Style. It coveres about 90% of what any blogger would need. I actually keep my copy from college (probably need to update) along with, wait for it, Elements of Style, near my keyboard at all times. Still, there are some things those two books don't cover, as great as they are, and that's where one's own style comes in... Jeremy: It isn’t easy.

There are plenty of media organizations that have put together great guides, so I wouldn't sweat coming up with your own. I also highly recommend "The Elements of Style." You could probably get a copy on eBay for a few cents. For anyone who struggles with WHO vs. WHOM or THEN vs. THAN, etc. - the tiny book is a huge help. I stick with AP style.

Hopefully I can stick to it this time. I’ve always had a problem with sticking to some sort of guide… but recently I created a posting schedule along with a basic guide and I’ll try it out once more.
