New Post has been published on https://techcrunchapp.com/outback-art-fair-canceled-news-sports-jobs/
Outback Art Fair canceled | News, Sports, Jobs
For Friday, July 3.
MARQUETTE — The OutBack Art Fair, as with many major summer events such as Art on the Rocks and the Marquette County Fair, will not take place for the same reason: the COVID-19 pandemic.
The OutBack Air Fair had been scheduled for July 25-26 at Shiras Park near Picnic Rocks in Marquette.
The announcement was made Wednesday on Facebook.
It was explained that the event would be restricted to 250 people including vendors, which would leave room for only 50 shoppers at a time with no way to regulate the situation.
A virtual OutBack, however, is in the works.
Vendors are encouraged to set up displays of items and video or photograph them, which can be displayed on the OutBack Facebook page during its scheduled weekend.
The 2021 OutBack Art Fair is set for July 24-25.
Mobile testing to be
offered
The Upper Great Lakes Family Health Center said it and local health departments have partnered to provide COVID-19 testing from 10:15 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday at the Michigamme Township Community Building, 202 W. Main St.
Testing also will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. July 15 at Gilbert Elementary School, 250 W. Iron St., Gwinn.
Case increase observed
The Marquette County Health Department has seen an increase of COVID-19 cases locally, some of which appear associated with youth sporting events. Staff is investigating, an agency press release notes.
Scams still an issue
Attorney General Dana Nessel continues to take action to protect consumers from businesses and retailers charging excessively high prices for products, and warns people of scammers that could potentially steal their personal information.
Since COVID-19 concerns became known in Michigan in early March, Nessel’s office reported it has received around 4,400 price-gouging complaints, with most complaints relating to grocery items, face masks and sanitizers.
Throughout the pandemic, Nessel’s office has taken multiple actions against both brick-and-mortar and online retailers seeking to take advantage of consumers during the pandemic.
Fortunately, the rate at which consumer complaints of price-gouging is being reported to the attorney general’s office has appeared to slow down in recent weeks.
For June, there was only an increase of about 2.6% in complaints filed with the office, from a total of 4,279 on June 1 to 4,391 on June 30.
On May 1, the total was 3,756, while April 1’s total was 2,506. However, an undetermined number of duplicate complaints were discovered in late April that caused the total number to decrease as staffers removed them from the system.
While the rate at which complaints are filed appears to be decreasing, the number of complaints received is substantially higher than in 2019, when the attorney general’s office received a total of 80 price-gouging complaints. More than half of these were against either gas stations or propane suppliers.
Follow-up action on the complaints is taken when possible, though some of the complaints filed this year do not warrant further investigation and many do not contain enough information to verify the complaints as legitimate, the attorney general’s office said.
As a result, consumers are encouraged to file a complaint online with the attorney general’s office at Michigan.gov so that the complaint contains as much information as needed to properly evaluate a response.
PPE issue addressed
To ensure front-line hospital workers caring for and treating COVID-19 patients are receiving the appropriate personal protective equipment from their employer, the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration has launched a state emphasis program that will be in effect through Dec. 31.
This SEP, according to the State Operations Emergency Center, will increase MIOSHA’s presence in hospitals to enforce the requirement to provide appropriate PPE to protect hospital staff and ensure they can continue to care for those most in need.
“As Michigan continues to combat the spread of COVID-19 and protect workers, it is especially important that front-line workers coming in direct contact with this disease have the equipment to protect themselves,” COVID-19 workplace safety Director Sean Egan said in a news release. “MIOSHA will conduct inspections of hospitals to help ensure employees are properly outfitted with PPE and employers are following the standards put in place.”
PPE shortages due to the COVID-19 pandemic have posed a tremendous challenge to hospitals across the nation, resulting in rationing, recycling and other strategies to make the best use of the limited supply of PPE.
In the coming weeks, MIOSHA will conduct enforcement inspections in Michigan hospitals. If the inspections determine deficiencies in the employer’s COVID-19 preparedness and response plans, including not providing appropriate PPE, citations and penalties will be issued.
The Consultation Education and Training Division will use outreach activities as an opportunity to raise awareness among employers, employees and safety and health professionals on the best practices for COVID-19 preparedness and response plans in hospitals.
CET consultants are available to help employers develop and implement long-term safety and health programs, plus comply with current MIOSHA regulations. For free statewide assistance, companies can call the CET Division at 517-284-7720 or toll-free at 800-866-4674.
Correction issued
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Wednesday signed Senate bills 876-878, which codify her previous executive orders, further extending the renewal dates for driver’s licenses, CDLs, state ID cards and vehicle registrations. Among the extensions outlined in the legislation, those with driver’s licenses or vehicle registrations expiring after March 1 have until Sept. 30 to have them renewed.
A previous announcement said those with driver’s licenses or vehicle registrations expiring between Feb. 1 and June 30 would have until Sept. 30 to be renewed.

Which mobile application development platform should I opt for?
What are the prominent advantages of choosing that platform?
Will it be the best choice for my app?
I am sure that there are so many questions that arise in the mind when it comes to choosing an enterprise mobile app development platform. Given the plenty of available options, one is bound to feel baffled. But selecting the most appropriate platform holds utmost importance.
To help you out, we have whittled a list of the top six enterprise mobile application development platforms that are leading the charts in 2020. You can learn about these in detail to choose the best one for your app. Let’s begin.
Appcelerator
Appcelerator makes use of a single JavaScript codebase to build strong native apps. It has an open and extensible environment that allows you to produce apps for Android, iOS, Blackberry, HTML5 and hybrid apps. Its open-source SDK supports over 5,000 devices.
Pros
It offers rapid prototyping. The app development process is greatly accelerated and a prototype is built by investing minimum time and effort to evaluate the user interaction with UI.
It comprises ArrowDB, a schema-less data store that seeks to deploy data models with almost no setup efforts.
You can seamlessly integrate it to the existing delivery systems such as MDM and SCM solutions.
It consists of pre-built connectors for MS SQL, MongoDB, Box, Salesforce, MS Azure and many more.
Cons
It is quite buggy. Even though the newer versions are more stable, it is not very suitable for production use. The more complex your app gets, the more often you will have to face technical issues such as annoying bugs, random crashes, weird behaviour.
There is poor support extended from the Appcelerator’s developer’s community.
PhoneGap
PhoneGap is an amazing cross-platform framework, allowing app developers to build apps that operate smoothly on multiple mobile platforms. It has a powerful backend system that greatly accelerates the development process. It is best suited for developing simple mobile apps that do not extensively use the mobile’s native features.
The PhoneGap community comprises latest modules and codes that are available for free, owing to its Open Source License. It offers tremendous flexibility and app developers having a basic knowledge of JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3 can get started with development, without the need of learning any additional languages.
Pros
A great level of uniformity is maintained as the apps developed can be used for multiple mobile platforms. The apps exhibit minimalistic differences when viewed on different platforms.
PhoneGap works on JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3, the most common and very popular web technologies.
It allows you to use in-app integrated payment systems via Google Play Store for Android, App Store for iOS, etc.
The app developers can make use of old JavaScript or some other libraries such as Prototype, jQuery, MooTools, Sencha Touch and more to manage the interaction.
Cons
PhoneGap doesn’t support all functionalities
It may prove to be ineffective at times, such as, while working with native apps
The capacity of cross platform apps is somewhat low-key when compared to other apps built for independent platforms
With PhoneGap, you can develop an app for once only. Thereafter, you will be charged some monthly fees.
Sencha
Sencha is believed to be an ideal framework for developing data-rich cross-platform applications powered by hardware acceleration methods. It is a warehouse of 115+ high-performing integrated UI components, including charts, grids, calendar, etc.
HTML5 utilization can be easily unleashed on all modern browsers by this platform. Also, developers can use Sencha Ext JS for developing ground-breaking apps that leverage the potential of Business Intelligence for Analytics and data visualization.
Pros
Sencha comes with a plethora of built-in themes that work on all major platforms
The platform is supported by a back-end data package that operates independently with different data sources
Apps created with Sencha can be easily integrated with PhoneGap / Cordova for packaging and native API access
Currently, Sencha is supported on WebKit browser, which includes the popular Google Android and iOS platforms
Sencha mobile apps can be easily scaled to different resolutions for achieving maximum compatibility with different devices
Cons
Some commercial versions of Sencha are braved with licensing complexity challenges
Animated themes for many targeted platforms are limited
Xamarin
Xamarin helps to develop native apps that work on multiple platforms by using a shared C# code base. The platform enables the developers to use the same IDE, APIs and language everywhere. Also, the Git integration can be directly launched into the Xamarin Studio. Owing to the unprecedented benefits of this platform, it has been adopted by some renowned names like Microsoft, IBM, Foursquare, etc.
Pros
Xamarin apps are very neatly written and thus, they can be used for reference as well.
The Xamarin Component Store contains cross-platform libraries, UI controls and third-party libraries.
As much as 75% of the developed code can be shared across major mobile platforms, which reduce the time-to market as well as bring down the cost of development
Xamarin offers quality assurance and functionality testing for various devices. This ensures fewer bugs and an efficient deliverable
Cons
The free version of the software comprises limited features
Developers cannot take full advantage of open-source libraries owing to some compatibility issues
Ionic
Ionic is a 100% free and open-source framework that is best suited for cross-platform mobile app development. The framework helps to create native functionality in apps that can seamlessly operate on multiple devices and operating systems. With native functionalities, exhaustive gestures and highly customizable tools, Ionic apps can help to augment user experience.
Pros
The framework enables the developers to build apps for multiple app stores with a single code base, thus reducing development cost and timeline
The use of AngularJS helps to create a powerful SDK for building feature-rich and robust applications
The framework comes with many CSS and JavaScript components that account for minimal maintenance
Cons
In-app performance is not as efficient and quick as that of native apps
The use of AngularJS necessitates the developers to possess a specific skillset needed to build complex apps
It is difficult to achieve smooth in-app navigation since the UI-route is very tricky
NativeScript
This is an open-source platform that facilitates cross-platform app development with a rich, native-like user interface. With this platform, the developers can easily access native APIs through JavaScript to build highly interactive apps. Native mobile apps for iOS and Android can be created using a single codebase.
Pros
A large number of NativeScript plugins are available that facilitate the creation of native mobile apps
Developers can reuse the accessible plugin NPM any number of times in all NativeScript projects
NativeScipt offers complete support for AngularJS 2 and TypeScript
The platform provides unrestrained access to native libraries, including CocoaPods and Gradle
Cons

How to Make Your Content More Readable
Your team has created, socialized, and measured content in just about every possible way … except for one of the most important metrics: how your audience is engaging with the words.
You want visitors to find information, stay engaged, or complete a task. But once readers’ eyes hit the words on the page, if it takes too much effort, their interaction falls off and you have churn. You know this anecdotally. Yet most don’t measure it scientifically.
Which of the thousands if not millions of words on a website are helping or hurting? What content is too dense or confusing?
Content teams work hard to create compelling content, but they have a natural blind spot. They’re too close to their creations – the blogs, thought leadership, and marketing pieces – to see them through the audience’s eyes.
HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: 27 Reasons Why Your Content Sucks
AI tools can benchmark content understanding
Now, with advances in natural language processing and artificial intelligence, a new breed of technology can test content for readability and clarity, which go to the heart of user experience and engagement. It can move organizations from a subjective approach, often fraught with editorial friction, to an objective, metric-based approach.
In this article I look at how to test for readability across your organization. For CMOs and chief content officers who want more engaging content, you now have ways to measure and benchmark clarity across the organization. And these tools can also help individual writers and creators produce better quality content.

Let’s define readability and clarity
Content clarity is the user experience of how difficult or easy it is to read text. Why is that important? We know from neuroscience that processing words places a far greater cognitive load on the brain than images. Plus, attention spans are shorter, meaning visitors have lower tolerance for confusion.

Fortunately, there are several widely used measures. The Flesch Reading Ease Index, created by Rudolf Flesch in the 1950s, calculates the average syllable per word and the density of long sentences and assigns a readability score – the higher the number, the easier content is to read.
The Flesch-Kincaid measure, derived from the index, scores readability at grade level, approximating the number of years of education required to easily understand content (though with this tool, a lower score means higher readability). The U.S. Navy developed the Flesch-Kincaid measure in the 1970s to ensure that soldiers under stress in the field could easily understand written instructions in their manuals. While today’s audiences most likely aren’t in combat, they do face the stresses of information overload and too little time.
HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: The Ultimate Science-Backed Method for Creating Content That Readers Love
Your readers are checking out and churning
Research shows that the average U.S. citizen reads at a seventh- to eighth-grade level – and it’s not simply a problem of low academic achievement. Some studies show even highly educated people disengage rather than spend the mental energy to unpack dense, complicated prose. Josh Bernoff, author and a contributor to the Harvard Business Review, surveyed 550 businesspeople in 2016. As many as 81% said poorly written content wasted too much of their time.

That’s one reason Reader’s Digest and Time magazine are successful. Reader’s Digest has a readability index of about 65 and Time scores about 52. Give people the choice between reading something at that level versus run-on sentences of 40 or 50 words with several competing ideas, it’s clear which they’ll prefer.
What is good readability?
There’s no one size fits all, but the gold standard of readability for business communication is grade eight or lower.
You should limit long sentences and passive voice to 5% or less of the total content. Active voice rather than passive makes it clearer who needs to do what. By shortening sentences and using active voice, you can make even technical subject matter more readable and engaging without any “dumbing down.” The best writing makes complex topics easy to understand.

The clarity problem isn’t new; but organizations are now producing vast quantities of content for their audiences. And with that proliferation comes a quality control issue. In 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Plain Language Act to make U.S. government-created content less dense and confusing. Federal agencies must now use “plain language” to communicate more clearly with citizens.
There’s no equivalent plain-language law in the commercial sector, but, given how fiercely brands compete for audience attention, they should be addressing it voluntarily.
One financial organization my team worked with set an internal goal that all consumer-facing content must be of a grade eight to 10 readability level – an ambitious goal. Our organization also worked with government agencies that have similar objectives. For example, the Australian federal government aims for a grade five readability level as part of its digital service standard. All companies that create content for cus

Documentation on Writing and Editing Posts

The title field and the big Post Editing Area are fixed in place, but you can reposition all the other boxes using drag and drop. You can also minimize or expand them by clicking the title bar of each box. Use the Screen Options tab to unhide more boxes (Excerpt, Send Trackbacks, Custom Fields, Discussion, Slug, Author) or to choose a 1- or 2-column layout for this screen.
Title — Enter a title for your post. After you enter a title, you’ll see the permalink below, which you can edit.
Post editor — Enter the text for your post. There are two modes of editing: Visual and Text. Choose the mode by clicking on the appropriate tab.
Visual mode gives you an editor that is similar to a word processor. Click the Toolbar Toggle button to get a second row of controls.
The Text mode allows you to enter HTML along with your post text. Note that
and tags are converted to line breaks when switching to the Text editor to make it less cluttered. When you type, a single line break can be used instead of typing , and two line breaks instead of paragraph tags. The line breaks are converted back to tags automatically.
You can insert media files by clicking the icons above the post editor and following the directions. You can align or edit images using the inline formatting toolbar available in Visual mode.
You can enable distraction-free writing mode using the icon to the right. This feature is not available for old browsers or devices with small screens, and requires that the full-height editor be enabled in Screen Options.
Keyboard users: When you’re working in the visual editor, you can use Alt + F10 to access the toolbar.
You can upload and insert media (images, audio, documents, etc.) by clicking the Add Media button. You can select from the images and files already uploaded to the Media Library, or upload new media to add to your page or post. To create an image gallery, select the images to add and click the “Create a new gallery” button.
You can also embed media from many popular websites including Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and others by pasting the media URL on its own line into the content of your post/page. Please refer to the Codex to learn more about embeds.
Several boxes on this screen contain settings for how your content will be published, including:
Publish — You can set the terms of publishing your post in the Publish box. For Status, Visibility, and Publish (immediately), click on the Edit link to reveal more options. Visibility includes options for password-protecting a post or making it stay at the top of your blog indefinitely (sticky). The Password protected option allows you to set an arbitrary password for each post. The Private option hides the post from everyone except editors and administrators. Publish (immediately) allows you to set a future or past date and time, so you can schedule a post to be published in the future or backdate a post.
Featured Image — This allows you to associate an image with your post without inserting it. This is usually useful only if your theme makes use of the image as a post thumbnail on the home page, a custom header, etc.
Send Trackbacks — Trackbacks are a way to notify legacy blog systems that you’ve linked to them. Enter the URL(s) you want to send trackbacks. If you link to other WordPress sites they’ll be notified automatically using pingbacks, and this field is unnecessary.
Discussion — You can turn comments and pings on or off, and if there are comments on the post, you can see them here and moderate them.

But once readers’ eyes hit the words on the page, if it takes too much effort, their interaction falls off and you have churn. You know this anecdotally. Yet most don’t measure it scientifically.</p><br /> <p>Which of the thousands if not millions of words on a website are helping or hurting? What content is too dense or confusing?<br /><br /> <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" data-wp-more="more" data-wp-more-text="" class="wp-more-tag mce-wp-more" alt="" title="Read more..." data-mce-resize="false" data-mce-placeholder="1" /></p><br /> <p>Content teams work hard to create compelling content, but they have a natural blind spot.

How to Make Your Content More Readable
Your team has created, socialized, and measured content in just about every possible way … except for one of the most important metrics: how your audience is engaging with the words.
You want visitors to find information, stay engaged, or complete a task. But once readers’ eyes hit the words on the page, if it takes too much effort, their interaction falls off and you have churn. You know this anecdotally. Yet most don’t measure it scientifically.
Which of the thousands if not millions of words on a website are helping or hurting? What content is too dense or confusing?
Content teams work hard to create compelling content, but they have a natural blind spot. They’re too close to their creations – the blogs, thought leadership, and marketing pieces – to see them through the audience’s eyes.
HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: 27 Reasons Why Your Content Sucks
AI tools can benchmark content understanding
Now, with advances in natural language processing and artificial intelligence, a new breed of technology can test content for readability and clarity, which go to the heart of user experience and engagement. It can move organizations from a subjective approach, often fraught with editorial friction, to an objective, metric-based approach.
In this article I look at how to test for readability across your organization. For CMOs and chief content officers who want more engaging content, you now have ways to measure and benchmark clarity across the organization. And these tools can also help individual writers and creators produce better quality content.

The title field and the big Post Editing Area are fixed in place, but you can reposition all the other boxes using drag and drop. You can also minimize or expand them by clicking the title bar of each box. Use the Screen Options tab to unhide more boxes (Excerpt, Send Trackbacks, Custom Fields, Discussion, Slug, Author) or to choose a 1- or 2-column layout for this screen.
Title — Enter a title for your post. After you enter a title, you’ll see the permalink below, which you can edit.
Post editor — Enter the text for your post. There are two modes of editing: Visual and Text. Choose the mode by clicking on the appropriate tab.
Visual mode gives you an editor that is similar to a word processor. Click the Toolbar Toggle button to get a second row of controls.
The Text mode allows you to enter HTML along with your post text. Note that
and tags are converted to line breaks when switching to the Text editor to make it less cluttered. When you type, a single line break can be used instead of typing , and two line breaks instead of paragraph tags. The line breaks are converted back to tags automatically.
You can insert media files by clicking the icons above the post editor and following the directions. You can align or edit images using the inline formatting toolbar available in Visual mode.
You can enable distraction-free writing mode using the icon to the right. This feature is not available for old browsers or devices with small screens, and requires that the full-height editor be enabled in Screen Options.
Keyboard users: When you’re working in the visual editor, you can use Alt + F10 to access the toolbar.
You can upload and insert media (images, audio, documents, etc.) by clicking the Add Media button. You can select from the images and files already uploaded to the Media Library, or upload new media to add to your page or post. To create an image gallery, select the images to add and click the “Create a new gallery” button.
You can also embed media from many popular websites including Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and others by pasting the media URL on its own line into the content of your post/page. Please refer to the Codex to learn more about embeds.
Several boxes on this screen contain settings for how your content will be published, including:
Publish — You can set the terms of publishing your post in the Publish box. For Status, Visibility, and Publish (immediately), click on the Edit link to reveal more options. Visibility includes options for password-protecting a post or making it stay at the top of your blog indefinitely (sticky). The Password protected option allows you to set an arbitrary password for each post. The Private option hides the post from everyone except editors and administrators. Publish (immediately) allows you to set a future or past date and time, so you can schedule a post to be published in the future or backdate a post.
Featured Image — This allows you to associate an image with your post without inserting it. This is usually useful only if your theme makes use of the image as a post thumbnail on the home page, a custom header, etc.
Send Trackbacks — Trackbacks are a way to notify legacy blog systems that you’ve linked to them. Enter the URL(s) you want to send trackbacks. If you link to other WordPress sites they’ll be notified automatically using pingbacks, and this field is unnecessary.
Discussion — You can turn comments and pings on or off, and if there are comments on the post, you can see them here and moderate them.

<img class=”alignright size-medium wp-image-78064″ src=”http://ift.tt/2FtGIfO” alt=”how-content-more-readable” width=”390″ height=”215″ /></p><br /> <p>Your team has created, socialized, and measured content in just about every possible way … except for one of the most important metrics: how your audience is engaging with the words.</p><br /> <p>You want visitors to find information, stay engaged, or complete a task. But once readers’ eyes hit the words on the page, if it takes too much effort, their interaction falls off and you have churn. You know this anecdotally. Yet most don’t measure it scientifically.</p><br /> <p>Which of the thousands if not millions of words on a website are helping or hurting? What content is too dense or confusing?<br /><br /> <img src=”data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7″ data-wp-more=”more” data-wp-more-text=”” class=”wp-more-tag mce-wp-more” alt=”” title=”Read more…” data-mce-resize=”false” data-mce-placeholder=”1″ /></p><br /> <p>Content teams work hard to create compelling content, but they have a natural blind spot. They’re too close to their creations – the blogs, thought leadership, and marketing pieces – to see them through the <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2017/11/ways-focus-on-audience/”>audience’s</a> eyes.</p><br /> <div class=”content-box-gray”><strong>HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2018/01/reasons-content-sucks/”>27 Reasons Why Your Content Sucks</a></strong></div><br /> <h2>AI tools can benchmark content understanding</h2><br /> <p>Now, with advances in natural language processing and artificial intelligence, a new breed of technology can test content for readability and clarity, which go to the heart of user experience and engagement. It can move organizations from a subjective approach, often fraught with editorial friction, to an objective, metric-based approach.</p><br /> <p>In this article I look at how to test for readability across your organization. For CMOs and chief content officers who want more engaging content, you now have ways to measure and benchmark clarity across the organization. And these tools can also help individual writers and creators produce better quality content.</p><br /> <div class=”content-box-gray”><strong>HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2017/11/b2b-content-artificial-intelligence/”>Scale Your B2B Content With Artificial Intelligence: Ideas and Tools Marketers Can Try</a></strong></div><br /> <h3>Let’s define readability and clarity</h3><br /> <p>Content clarity is the user experience of how difficult or easy it is to read text. Why is that important? We know from neuroscience that processing words places a far greater cognitive load on the brain than images. Plus, attention spans are shorter, meaning visitors have lower tolerance for confusion.</p><br /> <p>

</p><br /> <p>Fortunately, there are several widely used measures. The <a href=”http://ift.tt/2kLm7Ml” target=”_blank”>Flesch Reading Ease Index</a>, created by Rudolf Flesch in the 1950s, calculates the average syllable per word and the density of long sentences and assigns a readability score – the higher the number, the easier content is to read.</p><br /> <p>The Flesch-Kincaid measure, derived from the index, scores readability at grade level, approximating the number of years of education required to easily understand content (though with this tool, a lower score means higher readability). The U.S. Navy developed the Flesch-Kincaid measure in the 1970s to ensure that soldiers under stress in the field could easily understand written instructions in their manuals. While today’s audiences most likely aren’t in combat, they do face the stresses of information overload and too little time.</p><br /> <div class=”content-box-gray”><strong>HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2016/01/science-method-creating-content/”>The Ultimate Science-Backed Method for Creating Content That Readers Love</a></strong></div><br /> <h3>Your readers are checking out and churning</h3><br /> <p>Research shows that the average U.S. citizen reads at a seventh- to eighth-grade level – and it’s not simply a problem of low academic achievement. Some studies show even highly educated people disengage rather than spend the mental energy to unpack dense, complicated prose. <a href=”http://ift.tt/2v6R2Js” target=”_blank”>Josh Bernoff</a>, author and a contributor to the Harvard Business Review, surveyed 550 businesspeople in 2016. As many as 81% said poorly written content wasted too much of their time.</p><br /> <p>

</p><br /> <p>That’s one reason Reader’s Digest and Time magazine are successful. Reader’s Digest has a readability index of about 65 and Time scores about 52. Give people the choice between reading something at that level versus run-on sentences of 40 or 50 words with several competing ideas, it’s clear which they’ll prefer.</p><br /> <h2>What is good readability?</h2><br /> <p>There’s no one size fits all, but the gold standard of readability for business communication is grade eight or lower.</p><br /> <p>You should limit long sentences and passive voice to 5% or less of the total content. Active voice rather than passive makes it clearer who needs to do what. By shortening sentences and using active voice, you can make even technical subject matter more readable and engaging without any “dumbing down.” The best writing makes complex topics easy to understand.</p><br /> <p>
Limit long sentences and passive voice to 5% or less of total #content, says @FergalMcGovern @VisibleThread. Click To Tweet
</p><br /> <p>The clarity problem isn’t new; but organizations are now producing vast quantities of content for their audiences. And with that proliferation comes a quality control issue. In 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Plain Language Act to make U.S. government-created content less dense and confusing. Federal agencies must now use “plain language” to communicate more clearly with citizens.</p><br /> <p>There’s no equivalent plain-language law in the commercial sector, but, given how fiercely brands compete for audience attention, they should be addressing it voluntarily.</p><br /> <p>One <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2017/08/financial-services-relationships-content/”>financial organization</a> my team worked with set an internal goal that all consumer-facing content must be of a grade eight to 10 readability level – an ambitious goal. Our organization also worked with government agencies that have similar objectives. For example, the Australian federal government aims for a grade five readability level as part of its digital service standard. All companies that create content for customers and other stakeholders should set similar goals for published content.</p><br /> <div class=”content-box-gray”><strong>HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2016/09/checklist-valuable-content/”>Must-Have Checklist to Creating Valuable Content</a></strong></div><br /> <h3>Behavior change is hard, but doable</h3><br /> <p>Getting people to change their writing habits is far from trivial. Large organizations that use numerous agencies, <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2017/08/managing-remote-content-team/”>freelancers</a>, and internal contributors face tremendous challenges with consistency and brand coherence. Simply getting people to test their content can be a big challenge.</p><br /> <p>Leadership should adopt a “people, process, tools” approach. The people element must focus on two factors: awareness and education. Many commercial and government organizations send employees to writing-for-the-web-style training courses to raise awareness of readability. These courses not only cover webpages, but also inward-facing content including letters and product brochures.</p><br /> <p>The <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2018/02/brands-marketing-process/”>process</a> element focuses on mapping the current publication process and identifying which steps can be automated. Unfortunately, many organizations rush to roll out tools without an adequate understanding of what the current or future state of their process will look like. This rarely succeeds.</p><br /> <div class=”content-box-gray”><br /> <p><strong>HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT:</strong></p><br /> <ul><br /> <li><a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2016/07/define-workflow-content-production/”>How to Define a Workflow That Keeps Content Production On Track</a></li><br /> <li><a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2017/11/building-content-marketing-team/”>Building Your Content Marketing Team? 14 Skills for New, Growing, and Mature Programs</a></li><br /> </ul><br /> </div><br /> <h2>How to execute content evaluation</h2><br /> <p>With the people and process elements sorted, now you’re ready to consider <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2017/07/tools-smart-content-creators/”>tools</a>.</p><br /> <h3>Choose your tools wisely</h3><br /> <p>One of the biggest benefits of tools is that you can measure readability with objective metrics. You move from subjective opinions to quantitative measurement. These measures ease the editorial friction between content creators and editors/publishers. Companies should consider a two-pronged solution:</p><br /> <ul><br /> <li>Lightweight clarity tools in the hands of writers can help them measure, edit, and revise work to an agreed upon readability metric before submitting.</li><br /> <li><a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2018/02/content-audit-hours/”>Audit tools</a> for the content team allow it to control, review, and <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2017/10/competitive-content-marketing-analysis/”>score content</a> across the enterprise. These tools allow editors and content leads to benchmark quality over time, track the readability (and engagement) of writers and their published work, and even test and vet new writers for clarity.</li><br /> </ul><br /> <p>While <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2017/02/performance-google-analytics/”>web analytics</a> can show page views, dwell times, and usage paths, they won’t reveal issues with the content itself. Rather than obsessing over poor content performance on the back end, consider an investment in <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2016/07/technology-smarter-content/”>technology</a> that can improve content on the front end, tailoring words to how your audience’s brains want to process them.</p><br /> <p>

</p><br /> <div class=”content-box-gray”><br /> <p><strong> HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT:</strong></p><br /> <ul><br /> <li><a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2018/01/how-audit-content/”>How to Audit Your Content: 5 Essential Steps</a></li><br /> <li><a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2017/03/analytics-reports-content-marketer/”>4 Google Analytics Reports Every Content Marketer Should Use</a></li><br /> </ul><br /> </div><br /> <h3>Selecting readability tools and technology</h3><br /> <p>As you consider which tools to adopt, ask these questions:</p><br /> <ul><br /> <li>Will it support regular business users as well as subject matter experts? Determine who inside your organization will use the technology and whether it supports their needs.</li><br /> <li>Will it force too much friction or behavior change? For example, some solutions expect a business user to switch from Microsoft Word to edit content directly in a <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2017/08/implement-content-marketing-platform/”>content management system</a>; this approach rarely works.</li><br /> <li>Can it measure improvement of content across possibly hundreds of content creators? Many low-end tools are great for single users but have no dashboards for organization-wide metrics. These are critical to <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2016/11/content-marketing-roi-formula/”>show ROI</a>.</li><br /> <li>Is it suitable for work practices in a larger commercial or government organization? Less expensive and free tools are great for copy-and-paste-style text analysis by individuals but don’t natively support MS Word, PDFs, or direct URL analysis. If you <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2018/02/content-strategy-essentials/”>map your process</a>, you’ll quickly see which tools will work and which won’t.</li><br /> <li>How will you know if people are using the solution? The tool should give you usage dashboards across all content contributors.</li><br /> <li>Will it allow you to audit sections of websites for readability or hundreds of documents? A solution that forces the user to analyze individual URLs or individual documents one at a time will not cut it for whole or partial site and <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2015/08/analytics-content-audits/”>content audits</a>.</li><br /> </ul><br /> <p>Companies are spending huge amounts on content management systems and looking for ways to improve the user journey.

How to Make Your Content More Readable
How to Make Your Content More Readable
Your team has created, socialized, and measured content in just about every possible way … except for one of the most important metrics: how your audience is engaging with the words.
You want visitors to find information, stay engaged, or complete a task. But once readers’ eyes hit the words on the page, if it takes too much effort, their interaction falls off and you have churn. You know this anecdotally. Yet most don’t measure it scientifically.
Which of the thousands if not millions of words on a website are helping or hurting? What content is too dense or confusing?
Content teams work hard to create compelling content, but they have a natural blind spot. They’re too close to their creations – the blogs, thought leadership, and marketing pieces – to see them through the audience’s eyes.
HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: 27 Reasons Why Your Content Sucks
AI tools can benchmark content understanding
Now, with advances in natural language processing and artificial intelligence, a new breed of technology can test content for readability and clarity, which go to the heart of user experience and engagement. It can move organizations from a subjective approach, often fraught with editorial friction, to an objective, metric-based approach.
In this article I look at how to test for readability across your organization. For CMOs and chief content officers who want more engaging content, you now have ways to measure and benchmark clarity across the organization. And these tools can also help individual writers and creators produce better quality content.

Let’s define readability and clarity
Content clarity is the user experience of how difficult or easy it is to read text. Why is that important? We know from neuroscience that processing words places a far greater cognitive load on the brain than images. Plus, attention spans are shorter, meaning visitors have lower tolerance for confusion.

Fortunately, there are several widely used measures. The Flesch Reading Ease Index, created by Rudolf Flesch in the 1950s, calculates the average syllable per word and the density of long sentences and assigns a readability score – the higher the number, the easier content is to read.
The Flesch-Kincaid measure, derived from the index, scores readability at grade level, approximating the number of years of education required to easily understand content (though with this tool, a lower score means higher readability). The U.S. Navy developed the Flesch-Kincaid measure in the 1970s to ensure that soldiers under stress in the field could easily understand written instructions in their manuals. While today’s audiences most likely aren’t in combat, they do face the stresses of information overload and too little time.
HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: The Ultimate Science-Backed Method for Creating Content That Readers Love
Your readers are checking out and churning
Research shows that the average U.S. citizen reads at a seventh- to eighth-grade level – and it’s not simply a problem of low academic achievement. Some studies show even highly educated people disengage rather than spend the mental energy to unpack dense, complicated prose. Josh Bernoff, author and a contributor to the Harvard Business Review, surveyed 550 businesspeople in 2016. As many as 81% said poorly written content wasted too much of their time.

That’s one reason Reader’s Digest and Time magazine are successful. Reader’s Digest has a readability index of about 65 and Time scores about 52. Give people the choice between reading something at that level versus run-on sentences of 40 or 50 words with several competing ideas, it’s clear which they’ll prefer.
What is good readability?
There’s no one size fits all, but the gold standard of readability for business communication is grade eight or lower.
You should limit long sentences and passive voice to 5% or less of the total content. Active voice rather than passive makes it clearer who needs to do what. By shortening sentences and using active voice, you can make even technical subject matter more readable and engaging without any “dumbing down.” The best writing makes complex topics easy to understand.

The clarity problem isn’t new; but organizations are now producing vast quantities of content for their audiences. And with that proliferation comes a quality control issue. In 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Plain Language Act to make U.S. government-created content less dense and confusing. Federal agencies must now use “plain language” to communicate more clearly with citizens.
There’s no equivalent plain-language law in the commercial sector, but, given how fiercely brands compete for audience attention, they should be addressing it voluntarily.
One financial organization my team worked with set an internal goal that all consumer-facing content must be of a grade eight to 10 readability level – an ambitious goal. Our organization also worked with government agencies that have similar objectives. For example, the Australian federal government aims for a grade five readability level as part of its digital service standard. All companies that create content for cus

The title field and the big Post Editing Area are fixed in place, but you can reposition all the other boxes using drag and drop. You can also minimize or expand them by clicking the title bar of each box. Use the Screen Options tab to unhide more boxes (Excerpt, Send Trackbacks, Custom Fields, Discussion, Slug, Author) or to choose a 1- or 2-column layout for this screen.
Title — Enter a title for your post. After you enter a title, you’ll see the permalink below, which you can edit.
Post editor — Enter the text for your post. There are two modes of editing: Visual and Text. Choose the mode by clicking on the appropriate tab.
Visual mode gives you an editor that is similar to a word processor. Click the Toolbar Toggle button to get a second row of controls.
The Text mode allows you to enter HTML along with your post text. Note that
and tags are converted to line breaks when switching to the Text editor to make it less cluttered. When you type, a single line break can be used instead of typing , and two line breaks instead of paragraph tags. The line breaks are converted back to tags automatically.
You can insert media files by clicking the icons above the post editor and following the directions. You can align or edit images using the inline formatting toolbar available in Visual mode.
You can enable distraction-free writing mode using the icon to the right. This feature is not available for old browsers or devices with small screens, and requires that the full-height editor be enabled in Screen Options.
Keyboard users: When you’re working in the visual editor, you can use Alt + F10 to access the toolbar.
You can upload and insert media (images, audio, documents, etc.) by clicking the Add Media button. You can select from the images and files already uploaded to the Media Library, or upload new media to add to your page or post. To create an image gallery, select the images to add and click the “Create a new gallery” button.
You can also embed media from many popular websites including Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and others by pasting the media URL on its own line into the content of your post/page. Please refer to the Codex to learn more about embeds.
Several boxes on this screen contain settings for how your content will be published, including:
Publish — You can set the terms of publishing your post in the Publish box. For Status, Visibility, and Publish (immediately), click on the Edit link to reveal more options. Visibility includes options for password-protecting a post or making it stay at the top of your blog indefinitely (sticky). The Password protected option allows you to set an arbitrary password for each post. The Private option hides the post from everyone except editors and administrators. Publish (immediately) allows you to set a future or past date and time, so you can schedule a post to be published in the future or backdate a post.
Featured Image — This allows you to associate an image with your post without inserting it. This is usually useful only if your theme makes use of the image as a post thumbnail on the home page, a custom header, etc.
Send Trackbacks — Trackbacks are a way to notify legacy blog systems that you’ve linked to them. Enter the URL(s) you want to send trackbacks. If you link to other WordPress sites they’ll be notified automatically using pingbacks, and this field is unnecessary.
Discussion — You can turn comments and pings on or off, and if there are comments on the post, you can see them here and moderate them.

But once readers’ eyes hit the words on the page, if it takes too much effort, their interaction falls off and you have churn. You know this anecdotally. Yet most don’t measure it scientifically.</p><br /> <p>Which of the thousands if not millions of words on a website are helping or hurting? What content is too dense or confusing?<br /><br /> <img src=”data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7″ data-wp-more=”more” data-wp-more-text=”” class=”wp-more-tag mce-wp-more” alt=”” title=”Read more…” data-mce-resize=”false” data-mce-placeholder=”1″ /></p><br /> <p>Content teams work hard to create compelling content, but they have a natural blind spot. They’re too close to their creations – the blogs, thought leadership, and marketing pieces – to see them through the <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2017/11/ways-focus-on-audience/”>audience’s</a> eyes.</p><br /> <div class=”content-box-gray”><strong>HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2018/01/reasons-content-sucks/”>27 Reasons Why Your Content Sucks</a></strong></div><br /> <h2>AI tools can benchmark content understanding</h2><br /> <p>Now, with advances in natural language processing and artificial intelligence, a new breed of technology can test content for readability and clarity, which go to the heart of user experience and engagement. It can move organizations from a subjective approach, often fraught with editorial friction, to an objective, metric-based approach.</p><br /> <p>In this article I look at how to test for readability across your organization. For CMOs and chief content officers who want more engaging content, you now have ways to measure and benchmark clarity across the organization. And these tools can also help individual writers and creators produce better quality content.</p><br /> <div class=”content-box-gray”><strong>HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2017/11/b2b-content-artificial-intelligence/”>Scale Your B2B Content With Artificial Intelligence: Ideas and Tools Marketers Can Try</a></strong></div><br /> <h3>Let’s define readability and clarity</h3><br /> <p>Content clarity is the user experience of how difficult or easy it is to read text. Why is that important? We know from neuroscience that processing words places a far greater cognitive load on the brain than images. Plus, attention spans are shorter, meaning visitors have lower tolerance for confusion.</p><br /> <p>

</p><br /> <p>Fortunately, there are several widely used measures. The <a href=”https://readable.io/text/” target=”_blank”>Flesch Reading Ease Index</a>, created by Rudolf Flesch in the 1950s, calculates the average syllable per word and the density of long sentences and assigns a readability score – the higher the number, the easier content is to read.</p><br /> <p>The Flesch-Kincaid measure, derived from the index, scores readability at grade level, approximating the number of years of education required to easily understand content (though with this tool, a lower score means higher readability). The U.S. Navy developed the Flesch-Kincaid measure in the 1970s to ensure that soldiers under stress in the field could easily understand written instructions in their manuals. While today’s audiences most likely aren’t in combat, they do face the stresses of information overload and too little time.</p><br /> <div class=”content-box-gray”><strong>HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2016/01/science-method-creating-content/”>The Ultimate Science-Backed Method for Creating Content That Readers Love</a></strong></div><br /> <h3>Your readers are checking out and churning</h3><br /> <p>Research shows that the average U.S. citizen reads at a seventh- to eighth-grade level – and it’s not simply a problem of low academic achievement. Some studies show even highly educated people disengage rather than spend the mental energy to unpack dense, complicated prose. <a href=”https://withoutbullshit.com/blog/new-research-on-business-writing-infographic-and-report” target=”_blank”>Josh Bernoff</a>, author and a contributor to the Harvard Business Review, surveyed 550 businesspeople in 2016.

</p><br /> <p>That’s one reason Reader’s Digest and Time magazine are successful. Reader’s Digest has a readability index of about 65 and Time scores about 52. Give people the choice between reading something at that level versus run-on sentences of 40 or 50 words with several competing ideas, it’s clear which they’ll prefer.</p><br /> <h2>What is good readability?</h2><br /> <p>There’s no one size fits all, but the gold standard of readability for business communication is grade eight or lower.</p><br /> <p>You should limit long sentences and passive voice to 5% or less of the total content. Active voice rather than passive makes it clearer who needs to do what. By shortening sentences and using active voice, you can make even technical subject matter more readable and engaging without any “dumbing down.” The best writing makes complex topics easy to understand.</p><br /> <p>

</p><br /> <p>The clarity problem isn’t new; but organizations are now producing vast quantities of content for their audiences. And with that proliferation comes a quality control issue. In 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Plain Language Act to make U.S. government-created content less dense and confusing. Federal agencies must now use “plain language” to communicate more clearly with citizens.</p><br /> <p>There’s no equivalent plain-language law in the commercial sector, but, given how fiercely brands compete for audience attention, they should be addressing it voluntarily.</p><br /> <p>One <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2017/08/financial-services-relationships-content/”>financial organization</a> my team worked with set an internal goal that all consumer-facing content must be of a grade eight to 10 readability level – an ambitious goal. Our organization also worked with government agencies that have similar objectives. For example, the Australian federal government aims for a grade five readability level as part of its digital service standard. All companies that create content for customers and other stakeholders should set similar goals for published content.</p><br /> <div class=”content-box-gray”><strong>HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT: <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2016/09/checklist-valuable-content/”>Must-Have Checklist to Creating Valuable Content</a></strong></div><br /> <h3>Behavior change is hard, but doable</h3><br /> <p>Getting people to change their writing habits is far from trivial. Large organizations that use numerous agencies, <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2017/08/managing-remote-content-team/”>freelancers</a>, and internal contributors face tremendous challenges with consistency and brand coherence. Simply getting people to test their content can be a big challenge.</p><br /> <p>Leadership should adopt a “people, process, tools” approach. The people element must focus on two factors: awareness and education. Many commercial and government organizations send employees to writing-for-the-web-style training courses to raise awareness of readability. These courses not only cover webpages, but also inward-facing content including letters and product brochures.</p><br /> <p>The <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2018/02/brands-marketing-process/”>process</a> element focuses on mapping the current publication process and identifying which steps can be automated. Unfortunately, many organizations rush to roll out tools without an adequate understanding of what the current or future state of their process will look like. This rarely succeeds.</p><br /> <div class=”content-box-gray”><br /> <p><strong>HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT:</strong></p><br /> <ul><br /> <li><a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2016/07/define-workflow-content-production/”>How to Define a Workflow That Keeps Content Production On Track</a></li><br /> <li><a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2017/11/building-content-marketing-team/”>Building Your Content Marketing Team? 14 Skills for New, Growing, and Mature Programs</a></li><br /> </ul><br /> </div><br /> <h2>How to execute content evaluation</h2><br /> <p>With the people and process elements sorted, now you’re ready to consider <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2017/07/tools-smart-content-creators/”>tools</a>.</p><br /> <h3>Choose your tools wisely</h3><br /> <p>One of the biggest benefits of tools is that you can measure readability with objective metrics. You move from subjective opinions to quantitative measurement. These measures ease the editorial friction between content creators and editors/publishers. Companies should consider a two-pronged solution:</p><br /> <ul><br /> <li>Lightweight clarity tools in the hands of writers can help them measure, edit, and revise work to an agreed upon readability metric before submitting.</li><br /> <li><a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2018/02/content-audit-hours/”>Audit tools</a> for the content team allow it to control, review, and <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2017/10/competitive-content-marketing-analysis/”>score content</a> across the enterprise. These tools allow editors and content leads to benchmark quality over time, track the readability (and engagement) of writers and their published work, and even test and vet new writers for clarity.</li><br /> </ul><br /> <p>While <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2017/02/performance-google-analytics/”>web analytics</a> can show page views, dwell times, and usage paths, they won’t reveal issues with the content itself. Rather than obsessing over poor content performance on the back end, consider an investment in <a href=”http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2016/07/technology-smarter-content/”>technology</a> that can improve content on the front end, tailoring words to how your audience’s brains want to process them.</p><br /> <p>
