Yesterday I was on a site that is a prominent site in my niche, and I couldn&#8217;t believe that the article had absolutely no structure to it. It almost read like a book. I am not saying that is all bad, because people do read books, but I prefer to structure my posts so they are easy on the eyes, and easier to find what you are looking for. I am not trying to say that everyone should structure their posts the same as I like to, but I am trying to give a few tips on how I structure mine to try to make them easier to read.</p><h3>Podcast:</h3><p>This is my first podcast, and I want to thank <a

target="_blank" title="Not A Pro Blog" href="http://notaproblog.com">NotaProBlog</a>, and he is also involved in the <a
target="_blank" title="Beyond Blogging" href="http://beyondbloggingproject.com/">Beyond Blogging</a> project which I think is one of those stand out programs that actually is worth the money people are paying for it. Anyway, thanks to him for giving me a few tips on getting my podcast into the post. I looked into hosting the podcast on iTunes and a couple of other places, but ended up using <a

Not wanting to stick with only text for my articles, I decided that trying a podcast could be fun and also offer a different form of media for my readers.</p><h3>Post Structure:</h3><p>In the podcast, I discuss some different ways I like to structure my articles to try to make them easier to read, and to keep the reader interested. So without going into too much detail, I will let you listen to the podcast. Please comment below (I added video comments yesterday, so if you have a Viddler account you can leave a video comment if you want, and if you don&#8217;t have a Viddler account, it is free and easy to sign up). Anyway, let me know what you think of my first podcast, I am not a public speaker, but I think you will enjoy. Add any tips you may have, or ask questions below.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://hotblogtips.com/post-structure-podcast/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>16</slash:comments> <enclosure
