How to write an informal forum post and a formal blog post

Hello guys, 

Here you have some useful tips when it comes to writing a good informal forum reply or a formal blog post

 

                       HOW TO WRITE A GOOD INFORMAL FORUM REPLY

 

The following information offers basic rules on how to present your message in an informal forum post/reply/entry:

Rule 1: Start writing Posted by+ nickname + on date + time, unless you are given that information or part of that information.

       e.g. Posted by: thehappytraveller on 23th Oct, 2018, 18:00pm

Rule 2: Regarding greetings, try to use informal ones:

Hey!  

Hi/Hello everyone! (also Hi/Hello everyone,). Used when addressing a group of people.

Hi/Hello! (also Hi/Hello,)

Hey/Hi there!(also Hey/Hi,)

Hey/Hi/Hello folks!  (also Hi/Hello folks,). Used when addressing a group of people.

Hey/Hi/Hello + nickname! (also Hi/Hello + nickname,)

Hey/Hi you all! (also Hey/Hi you all,)

Hey/Hi y’all! (also Hey/Hi y’all,)

They do not have to be written on a separate line, that is, after the greeting you can follow writing on the same line:

           e.g. Hi, I am travelling to London…..

Rule 3: This is the body of the forum reply. Make meaningful conversation. Responding to a post gives you the ability to expand the conversation

Rule 4. You can close your forum post with a useful expression + the nickname/name of the person you are replying to and your own name or nickname. This part is sometimes omitted in real forum posts. Nevertheless, I recommend you include it.

                   e.g. Have a nice day, bohemian!

                         Rob

Rule 5: Use informal language, but precise. 

Rule 6: Use short paragraphs and spaces between each paragraph.

 

                 HOW TO WRITE A GOOD FORMAL BLOG POST 

 

Rule 1. An attention-grabbing headline

A good blog post is about one topic, one story, one idea. Not 57. Not 101. Just one. Good titles are interesting, descriptive, and engaging. It should read like a magazine headline or a TV newsflash.

Rule 5: Do not forget to include after the headline «Posted by + nickname, date and time. 

Rule 3. A captivating lead paragraph

Start off with a quote, a question, or a bold, audacious statement. You only have one shot. Make it count.

Rule 4. Interesting supporting points

This is the body of the post, that is, the “meat” of the post — what will back up your main topic or argument

Rule 5. A compelling call-to-action

This is the part of the post where you invite your readers to answer a question, leave a comment, or share your post. Make it clear and actionable.

Rule 6: Use formal language and be precise. 

Rule 7: Use short paragraphs and spaces between each paragraph.
