I will be frank. Most of my blog posts so far has been somewhat falling short of becoming a great work of writing, and I don’t blame anything but my laziness of taking the time to compose each writing to my fullest potential.

I am not alone when I write some blog text and posting it online as quickly as possible. A lot of bloggers try to write mediocre quality prose in their hopes of increasing their number of blog posts over a short period of time. Among the blogosphere community there seems to be a belief that quantity of posts will ultimately traffic, which in turn can turn into ad-sense profits.

But the problem of rushing-in the blog posts is that the quality of the content is substantially reduced. Who wants to read some half baked story about some oversaturated topic? There are many bloggers who stare on their computer screen, hoping to squeeze a little idea and turn it into some master piece without effort and time.

I won’t be overly critical to such people, because I had such tendencies not so long ago. Starting a new blog, I wanted to rush in as much contents as possible so that I would potentially get a lot of referrals from Google and other great websites. As I continuously posted two or three short articles a day, my website started to grow in size, but I soon realized that the growth was only superficial. I was getting nowhere with traffic, and the routine was getting tiresome.

I know that there are thousands of blog articles about the emphasis of quality over quantity, but it occurred to me that this practice would ultimately take more time and effort. My laziness of putting things off made my blog stale, and I was getting irritated of wasting my website resources away (Hosting does cost money folks!) So, I have decided to change my attitude and get a grip by writing this article.

Opening up my new Microsoft Word and typing on my fresh keyboard, I decided to start with the title, “Aging content before release”. Surely the article must have been some type of a technical know-how on spreading the time and refining the quality of blog posts before releasing to the wild. But instead of writing a technical guide, I have decided to convey the title’s message indirectly, showing the consequences of rush writing and demonstrating my new way of writing great blog posts.

As I finish writing this article, I have learned that writing in a casual conversation form is quite easier and more effective than in technical language form. It is probably easier for you to read, because the language of the post is more natural and fluid. Best of all, I love writing in this style, and such joy gives me the enthusiasm to take my time on this writing.

Take time in your writing and there is no rush in building up your blog post portfolio. Enjoy the process, and if your head hurts, then take a break and continue blogging at a later time.
