Now, you've gone past the hassle of trying to find new ideas for your post, writing and typing it. And the next thing on you rmind now is to hit the "publish" button, hey! wait, not yet. There are somethings that you need to do before hitting that button.

  • Take time to Edit and polish Your post :


Check your post all over to see things that need to be removed or added. Perhaps, a particular sentence needs to be reconstructed, a better alternative for a particular word.
  Look for spelling errors;

When typing or writing, it is usually almost inevitable to commit typos 'offences'. When you are done with your post, take time to check all over to see some words you might have spelt wrongly. Use the autocorrect tool for words you are not sure of.

  • ` Look for grammatical errors.

You might not be as good as that English guru next door, amd might not be able to perfect your writeup. But hey! you can reduce grammatical blunders to the bearest minimum. Your readers might move on to the next blog if they are trying too hard to decipher what you intended writing. You can give your write up to someone you know is better for review to at least point out the obvious errors.

  • Are your links working?

Using anchor links in your post is a very good practice and important tool to help users take a look around you blog. After you are done putting up you post, use the "test link" feature link in blogger to see if all your links are pointing to the right resource.

  • Hey, did you repeat something?

Before publishing your blog post, check all your major points to make sure you are not repeating any point. You don't want to bore your readers reading the same thing over and over again.

  • Lastly; Review your post:

After putting all the above points into consideration, then do a final cross checking.
Now, You are free to hit that "publish" button you are  so eager to click.
