…and I totally screwed up on my comment. lol. I meant “your grammar and punctuation” not “you’re grammar.” Review before posting, sheesh. lol.

I think having a pattern or workflow is great. With a system in place, there’s always a way to check where you’re going wrong.

Steps 1 and 2 are most critical since they’ll dictate the whole essence of your blog post. Proof reading is MOST CRITICAL whenever you’re trying to sell an idea. Imagine if you’re blogging about “Writing Tips” and you’re grammar and punctuation are pfftt — total FAIL.

Yes getting another person to proof read makes the task even simpler.

Ideation can take place anywhere. That’s best part, when you have an idea, just jot it down and make relevant points.

Nice post. You’re right … too many bloggers write their stuff down without a) thinking about it much beforehand, b) proof-reading, and c) finalizing. So many blogs are written like stream of consciousness literature and it sure gets tedious having to wade through that stuff.
Proof read, proof read, proof read. And by all means, if your handle on the grammar of the language you are using is not robust and solid, get someone else to proof read it. Everyone makes mistakes; doing it frequently is just laziness

As an aside, I’ll have to admit that I cringed when I read the word “ideation” … I know it’s been around for a couple or three years … but I’m still in a state of denial over that one.

I agree, and I did the same mistake when i was a novice blogger, but after gaining knowledge about the likes and dislikes of the readers, I have started proofreading because readers like posts will lesser typo and grammatical mistakes

The graphic design part is done by me and so i do that in the final stage of finalization of the post

Many bloggers use the same method as you are using and end up wasting time in editing.

A structured approach increases productivity. This may not be the best approach for you but you will learn using a blog posting work-flow when you gain experience

My work flow is pretty similar to yours, with the addition of posting the articles graphic request to my designer.

I’m new to blogging but not new to project workflow. I think your strategy is a great idea for new and experienced bloggers. I typically just begin writing and then edit like crazy but there is tremendous value in a more structured approach.

Your absolutely right bro, but for me, still i was unable to do this. Because of the less time i have, i just write down posts in a rush! must consider about your idea soon!

Very good points. Anyone who wants to write, and not just blogs, needs to have a process or flow. Otherwise, all it is is a bunch of words floating around that never make it to the page.

I find that the most frustrating thing about a lot of blogs is that they don’t proof what they write. Everyone’s prone to a typo here and there, but if your are consistently writing poorly I won’t come back.

I agree, sometimes, you don’t need to brainstorm, when you are well acquainted with the subject.

Looks like you and I have almost identical blog posting workflow. There’s really nothing to add.
It’s not necessary, but it’s useful.

Yep, I try to follow the 5 steps you listed, but sometimes “brainstorming” and/or “jotting down points” are not included if I already know what I’m gonna write about and I just sit down and start writing away
