The people here at The Cage have provided all us users with a fantastic place to express our thoughts, loves, hates, and what all. Within reason, we can post what we want and how we want.
But some of you all are not making the best of it.
Yes, it is your blog and, really, it should be a reflection of you. You should be able to say what it is you want to say (again, within reason) but you need to think on how you want to say it.
Now I am not talking about sentences structure or word choice, as not everyone here uses the same language. What I am talking about is appearance.
Cage developers have provided us with a number of fonts and colors to choose from. You don't have to use the 12 point Alef font in black. In my not so humble opinion, that shit is hard on the eyes. Specially when you have a 15 to 20 line paragraph. When I start someone's blog and see that, I give up and move along without comment or thought.
Now if you are like me, you were taught that a proper paragraph is at least 4 lines. But I learned that years ago, before the invention of the internet. Way before the invention of the cell phone.
In today's writing place, you need to think about how your words show up on different devices. I often save my blog posts to a draft or inactive to see how it shows on either my cell or my laptop (I don't have a tablet). Long ass paragraphs show really badly on cells.
Having a blog means you want people to see it. Part of getting people to read your thoughts is to present them in a way they enjoy reading them. Make it a chore and people won't bother.
You're Welcome.
