All these play a huge role to make your blog a big success.

How to improve blog’s readability?

To answer in simple words, improving readability is everything about how you can make your content easy to read & understand for the viewer and the end users. Proper grammar, the right choice of fonts, proper formatting, writing style, visual effects and more.

Even some of the professional journalists ignore readability and its significance and just try to go on & on with their academic skills. You may get to see many journals or piece of news from a press release that’s tough to read, just because it looks dull. You will end up yawning after reading a para every single time. This is just because of awful formatting, missing sub-headlines and those boring long paras which all conclude for poor readability.

If your blog posts have the same sort of look and mistakes, you need to do some serious renovation for your posts. Do not forget to optimize readability of such blogs and take help from the following points.

Also, go for the right size so the viewers don’t have put an extra effort in zooming in and scrolling here & there. This may irritate the users and thus, a right size neither too big nor too small is apt for the blog.

Keeping it short and a content devoid of clutter is reader’s first mental priority to decide whether to read on or leave. This is not just about clear formatting to improve readability, rather your readers would feel pleasure to enjoy your content.

5. Conventional Style of Writing

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” words said by Leonardo da Vinci

Surely Vinci was way ahead of his time when he said these great words. It's practical too! Simplify your written content, make it easier to understand and just stop using heavy set words chosen from the dictionary for the sake of being professional. It doesn’t look classy at all!

Use conversational tone wherever possible, like you are explaining it all to a second person.

This would keep your blog more personalized and closer to that of reader’s soul because it's all coming from your heart!
