To be honest, no one
particularly enjoys reading seemingly endless blocks of text. You probably
never enjoyed doing it in high school, and you probably don’t enjoy doing it
now. Your readers may feel the exact same way.
Simply put, writing
fantastic content isn’t worth anything if you make it difficult for readers
to read what you’ve written. How do you make your blog entries easier on the
eyes? Here are three tips you should try:
Post Pictures and Videos
Use a nice picture that
complements the topic your entry is discussing; better yet, embed a short video
clip if possible. Either method provides a place of rest for the eyes of your
readers and supplements the message brought about by what you’ve written.
Use Headings and Subheadings
Most web users have a
tendency to skim the content they read in an attempt to find the information
they are looking for quickly. Give your readers what they want. By adding
headings and subheadings to your blog entries, you convey your thoughts
efficiently and make it easier for them to locate the info they need.
Change your Color Scheme
Nothing strains eyes
quite like reading light-colored text placed on a dark background. In fact,
studies have shown that such a color scheme is 26 percent less legible than
dark-colored text on a light background. A simple switch in color scheme can
improve the readability of your content dramatically.
