make sense and people know what you're trying to say. To go along with this-use paragraphs. Each paragraph has a separate idea. And each paragraph usually leads into the other paragraph.

Realizing that we are writing articles that appear on the internet, they should be short, and deliver a punch. But at the same time, they can't be so short that, you're left saying-that's it?

Write with the thought that millions of people of all ages will be reading what you wrote. (Kind of scary, huh?) With the possibility that a million people could read what you wrote, then you have to make it easy for them to understand. Then, you have to use punctuation, correct spelling, correct grammar, -all that stuff we learned way back in elementary school. And we have to write with that thought in mind- We need to explain things so that everyone understands.

With the thought that millions of people could be reading this, don't give out really personal information. It's just like your Mom telling you not to answer the phone and tell people she's in the bathroom. So don't write about your next door neighbor, by using your name or his name. (Unless you will be moving soon)

Check over your work. Use the spell check when you're done. Everybody makes mistakes.
Read and re-read your work when you're done writing it. You will find so many mistakes. And then you can correct them, and think of another article to write. The more you write the better you get. So write, write, write.
