Why you will read this

Be the first
Well you will read this because of the title,
Because some if it is BOLD and uppercase
It is in simple paragraphs, which facilitates easier reading and skimming etc.
To cut a long story short, since a lot more of us have started writing op-ed pieces and more users have been contributing to the disussit, voiceit and other areas we should probably be aware of how people read online. People SKIM INFORMATION (yes the uppercase caught some of you) and quickly look for whats interesting.
That is why it is suggested that we put one idea per paragraph and use sub headings, DONT MAKE LONG PARAGRAPHS like some discussit issues i’ve seen (but u’d understand why nobody has commented).
Other tips include
-
Bulleted list
-
Occasional use of bold to prevent skimming
-
Short sentence fragments
-
Explanatory subheads
- half the word count (or less) than conventional writing (meaning in lay man jamaican terms, dont Write too long like ur writing a book etc)
