Hello everyone! Now, I am very aware of how much attention my blogs have been getting me lately, and I'd like to say thank you. But, I also want to help other bloggers who want to improve on their writing skills, and people who just want to start blogging in general!

Step 1: Proper topics!

So, now here comes the hardest step (At least in my opinion), choosing a blogging topic!
Now, this being Planet Minecraft, you have to choose a topic that goes with the content on the site. Here's a list of things that might be a good topic for you to write about:
o Skins
o Skinning
o Popular Minecraft maps
o Tutorials about building, making skins, etc.
o Interviewing another Planet Minecraft member
o Making art or comics about an experience you had in Minecraft

These are just some beginning topics. As you start to write more blogs, I guarantee that you'll come up with your own ideas!



Step 2: Grammar, grammar everywhere!

Now, grammar is a very, very important part of making a blog. Not only do you have to use proper capitalization, but you also have to use accurate punctuation. This is your sentences do not run on, and that the entire paragraph as a whole flows with ease. You also need to remember to use bigger words. Instead of 'Great', you could use 'Fantastic' or 'Phenomenal'. But make sure not to use too big of words, or else the reader will not understand what you're saying depending on their literary skills. There are some minors on this site who are not used to some words that others might be completely comfortable with.

Step 3: Do your research!

If you're writing about a popular PMCer, I highly recommend you research their work and such before you start writing. This way, there will be no false facts or statements that might upset the person you're researching. Not only that, but chances are people will learn new things about the PMCer that they didn't know before that will earn both you and the person you're researching more subscribers! Everyone wins.


Step 4: Write from the heart.

When you're writing about an important PMC issue, try thinking about how this has affected you, and your fellow PMC friends. Also, remember a time when this has especially hurt you in some way (Ex. Writing about skin theft, you remember a time when someone stole your skin). Incorporate what you felt then into your writing now. This will give your blog more depth and feeling to it, and it will allow other members to relate to you if they've experienced the same thing you've experienced.

Step 5: An eye grabbing image.

When selecting a picture that represents your blog entry, try finding a picture related to the blog topic, or you can even make your own! If you're too lazy or tired after all that writing to find one, find a picture you already have that's bright and eye grabbing (This is probably the one I least recommend, I mean COME ON, It'll take 15 seconds to find a picture, or 5 minutes to make your own).


Congrats! If you follow all these steps, It should come out as an awesome blog entry that will be the talk of PMC for centuries to come! (That was an exaggeration..)

I hope this will help not only new bloggers, but every blogger who just needs help on writing their own blog!

Think of a topic that you have personally felt with, like unfair admins, bullying, etc.
It just kind of comes to me when I think really hard.
