hmm, my top two are:
Value
It has to provide value to me. Value could be an emotion or a piece of information. But there has to be something there
Tone To The Reader
To me, one of the most off turning aspects of a blog is if it's too arrogant or degrades the reader. Some of this I'm pulling off a my comment/discussion from here.
For example, articles that bully or is rude to a reader, but justify it in 'the name of developer advocacy' are a prime example. "You should know this, if you don't, then you are a bad person" kind of tone I think are poor ways to convey a point of view.
I'm OK with catchy titles, we all do those. But when there is a lack of 'compassion' in discussing a POV (that not everyone needs to share), then compassion has a bigger impact then just sound like a jerk.
Yeah, Totally agree with you here. Everyone needs to have this concept that their POV is a POV after all.
Wouldn't let readers take their eyes off of it (keep them keen to read more, in hopes of finding more and more info as they continue reading through)
Good point 👌👏, I think every blogger aims to do this.
