Ten writing tips

I know several of you have blogs of your own, but even if you don’t, you can learn something from Lyndon’s list of Ten Tips for writing a blog post. For example, he says "Write Less." This is vital if you’re writing e-mail, letters, reports, or whitepapers. Make your point using the fewest words you can. Cut clutter mercilessly. Your audience will thank you.

"Include bullet point lists." (As long as it makes sense to do so.) If you can structure some of your information as a bulleted or numbered list, do so. It helps people scan for key points.

There’s more good advice here, so go read the whole list
