daca mai esti pastor si mai ai si blog…

La un sondaj relizat in Noiembrie 2007, a rezultat ca 72 % din pastori nu folosesc eficient blogul.
De ce nu prea merg lucurile? Pai, gramatica nu iti este prietena si nu se afla printre enoriasi tai; apoi regulat pentru tine inseamna din cand in cand, de glumit glumesti doar cu unii cind vor sa rada toti, si in plus scrii stangaci si pentru retardati…
Iata sugestiile lui Scott pentru a incepe sa ai un blog efficient:
1. Using misspelled words and poor grammar.
While distracting readers is one risk, another is the possibility of losing credibility with your readers. Although there’s little need to stick to MLA or Turabian formatting rules, that doesn’t mean you’re allowed to throw out intelligent writing altogether.
There are a couple of steps you can take to make sure you avoid this pitfall. First, use your automatic spellchecker. If your blog platform doesn’t offer it built-in, then use an external text editor that does have one and then copy/paste the purified text into your blog. Second, have someone else read the post before it’s posted. A second pair of eyes will catch misspelled words, poor grammar and other oddities that your eyes won’t see.
2. Posting sporadically.
Finding a rhythm can be one of the most useful habits you can form when it comes to blogging. If you can’t dedicate yourself to a daily posting regimen, then post every other day or on Mondays and Thursdays. It doesn’t matter when you post as long as your readers can somewhat predict when it will happen.
3. Using inside jokes that only few of your readers understand.
This is less obvious because inside jokes don’t seem that way to the folks who are on the inside. The best way to remedy this blogging faux pas is to blog consciously. Think about or maybe even outline what you write before you start writing. Another benefit of this is that you’ll find the content (the meat) of what you write will begin to improve and become more worthy of being read.
4. Mind-dumping.
I’m going to get in trouble for this one, but it’s one of the biggest hindrances and turnoffs to readers. Mind-dumps should not take place on your pastoral blog. They’re disorganized, choppy, difficult to follow and usually pointless. After encountering several mind-dumps, your readers will become either frustrated or bored with your blog and leave. Move that sort of content to another blog or mini-blog that you use for more personal topics. A fix for this taboo is, again, planning.
Any one of these taboos can send readers packing. Beware and be aware that your blog is fragile and your readers are fickle. Don’t assume that people will read simply because you’re the pastor. Valuable, logical, intelligent content can take your blog from good to great.
