Introduction

• Developing your blog-writing skills is a slow
  process. Work on your technique continuously and
  your work will attract readers.
• Take in readers critiques for they know best how
  well you are passing on your thoughts. Neglecting
  the editing aspect of blog-writing will deter
  your readers from your blog.
• Here are the reasons why writers need to edit and
  how to edit your blog articles.

Why writers need to edit

• Inspirational chaos Say you came across an
  amazing idea for a blog article that you know and
  feel will bring in traffic from the web. Then you
  start typing away with no end in sight.
• Diverse ideas Writers tend to get lost in their
  sentences or words and don't take the time to
  double-check if their sentences would make sense
  to a reader.

Why writers need to edit

• Grammar and all that other stuff Editing as you
  write never works out! Take your time to edit
  your blog article after you have finished.
• Oh, you speak English, too? Even if you consider
  yourself an English-native speaker - edit your
  articles. Just because you were born into the
  English language and learned about it all your
  life doesn't mean you won't make any errors.

7 simple tips to when editing your work

• Take a breather after writing. The first mistake
  writers make is editing their post right when
  it's done. Writer's thoughts are fresh in their
  heads and when re-reading their article they
  might not pick up on the errors right away.
• Divide and Conquer. Divide your editing into
  three processes 
• content editing,
• structure editing, and
• grammar editing.

7 simple tips to when editing your work

• Edit content. Review your article keeping an eye
  out for sections that don't make sense. Look for
  unfinished paragraphs and fragments. After
  identifying them, work towards fixing the errors
• Edit structure. Write your articles in a way that
  the reader will be able to follow your content.
  Structure your content using bullets or bold
  headers.
• Edit grammar. Lastly, edit grammatical errors.
  This shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes for a
  800-900 word

7 simple tips to when editing your work

• Less is more When it comes to words - less
  really is more. Don't use complicated jargon
  unless your blog's audience understands the
  lingo. Readers know when you have used the same
  words and are saying the same thing again.
• Don't trust Spell-check. Trust your spell-check
  software lightly.

  software lightly. These tools don't "understand"
  your writing and don't grasp variations of
  sentences or word usage.

7 simple tips to when editing your work

• Read at random Choose a random paragraph from
  your article and edit it. Then choose another
  random paragraph and edit that one.

  starting the editing process? Knowing when you've
  had enough.
• Learn from your mistakes. After following the
  steps above, you will be closer to a perfectly
  written masterpiece.
