A blog is an online journal or diary written in an informal style and updated regularly. It typically contains text, images, videos, and other media. To write a blog, you need to plan by choosing an interesting topic for your readers, outlining your post, and writing a catchy headline. You then draft the post and edit it, checking for errors, clarity, and flow. The key steps are planning your content, writing a draft, and thoroughly editing to produce high-quality blog posts.

1. What is blog?
A blog is an online diary or journal located on a website. It’s actually a regularly updated
website or web page, typically run one by an individual or small group that is written in an
informal or conversational style. The blog typically contains text, pictures, videos, animated
GIFs and even scams from old physical offline diaries or journal and other hard copy
documents.
How to write a blog?
Following steps can be helpful for writing a blog:
1. Planning:
Entire process of writing a blog often takes more than a couple of hours or days or even a week.
From the ideation to the button that hits ‘publish’, it might take several days to weeks. Before
sitting in front of your digital pen and start writing, it’s important to plan the writing schedule,
writing content, methods and creating something out of it. Planning literally means to fore see
the pathway where we might take steps.
2. Choosing the topic that interests you and your reader:
There’s an old maxim that states, “No fun for the writer, no fun for the reader.”It has been
stated absolutely right. The first is coming up with some potential topic. Idea of the topic must
hit the sentiment of the target audience. It must be interesting enough to catch the audience’s
view and solve their problem or answer a key question for the audience. The topic should be
relevant, unique, at depth and time sensitive i.e. ‘evergreen’ content.
3. Writing an outline of the post:
Great blog just doesn’t happen. Even the best bloggers need a rough idea to keep them on-
track. This is where outlines come in. Rough idea need not be lengthy or in detail but must be
guiding one. Before getting to work we got to deal about what actually content covers viz.:
a. Facts
b. Pictures
c. Animation (If any)
d. Research verification
e. Short story
The purpose of this outline is to make sure you know what you plan to cover, in what order the
various sections will appear, and some bare-bones details of what each section will include.

2. 4. Writing a Punching Headline:
Different people perceive the headline in different way. Some people think that headline
should be specific while others recommend taking a more abstract approach. There are two
approaches we can take to write the headlines. We can either decide the headline before
writing the post so that it aids in structuring the whole post or we can write after it’s done and
see what it fits. The process behind the site’s headlines has merit, as it forces the audience to
really think about the post and how to grab their attention.
5. Writing the post:
Sitting down and writing a blog is actually is a creative process and everyone’s approach will be
different. So keeping this in mind, some few tips can be pointed out as follows:
I. Writing a first draft should be fluent and should be written without worrying about self
editing.
II. Aim should be clear through collecting maximum information, gathering materials,
organization and references.
III. Introduction part should be written first and then conclusion at last.
6. Editing the first draft:
This can be quite tedious job because most of the bloggers stumbles here, especially first-
timers. Much of the blogs quality comes from the editing process. First effort is called a rough
draft for a reason, polishing lets the ideas, opinions and advice shine through without
distraction. Some of the following advice can be very helpful to edit the whole heaps of the
information:
 Don’t edit right after finishing the writing. Allow some time to pass so we can see the
post more ideally or objectively.
 Spelling and grammar may seem simple, but these are basics and important for
establishing the credibility and putting the focus on content.
 Edit overall content thoroughly, not a single text only.
 Checking out the post and sorting out the errors may be missed so checking out the post
on front end is important.
 When we are satisfied and feel okay about the post, then it should be given a final
proof-reading so as to go through any lingering errors, confusing sentences, etc.

3. And finally when it comes time to write a blog post for a site, it’s important to ensure these vital
summarizations:
A. Come up with the suitable idea, the one that suits our audience.
B. Create an outline that provides an overall structure for our post, without constraining our
identity.
C. Writing while possessing the fresh idea is the best time to start the blog with appropriate
headline
D. Editing the first draft, keeping an eye on small and large scale considerations alike.
