Blogging is all about content, it’s all about writing. Yet it’s one of the things that most bloggers neglect and rarely try to improve. Truth being told, I’m more guilty than anyone else when it comes to taking time out to improve my writing.

A week or so ago there were a few comments left on some of the posts I wrote asking for me to improve my writing. More specifically, I was using the lowercase i instead of I in most of my posts and had not put apostrophes in certain words too.

With regards to the apostrophes, I hadn’t reread several posts I wrote as I simply did not have the time (I was travelling) and because of this, the post quality suffered a little. However, with regards to using the lowercase i, I’ve realised that this is a very bad habit of mine. When I’m writing posts I have to make a conscious effort to put the capital I in the sentence. I find it strange I have this habit because if I was writing something down on paper with a pen I would never use a lowercase i. I think I have contracted some sort of typing laziness disease!

I will be doing my utmost to improve my writing style however I would be grateful if readers had some patience with me, I did major in Mathematics after all!! We’re hardly known for our superior English skills

It can be difficult to see what aspect of your own writing needs improved so i recommend a few things.

I also encourage you all to subscribeto Daniel Scocco’s new blog Daily Writing Tips(online since May 2007). It’s a daily blog which concentrates on helping bloggers improve their blog writing and includes topics such as grammar, punctuation and spelling.
