Before You Post Your Blog
Write a rough draft of your message. Here are some tips:
Decide on a short, meaningful, and attention-grabbing title.
A good length for your writing is somewhere between 200 and 400 words.
Use easy-to-read text and language; reading online should be somewhat effortless.
Begin with a summary of how your post.
Organize your message into short paragraphs.
Include a call to action in your message, i.e., earn more about the topic.
Write in first-person so the message is yours.
Include links to additional resources, definitions, and/or citations instead of inserting footnotes.
Review your NASN website profile https://www.nasn.org/profile
Does your profile have a photo? Does it have a bio? If not, consider adding these items. Also consider making sure that all visitors can see your photo and bio by editing your privacy settings in your profile; select My Account > Privacy Settings and choose ‘public’ for viewing of your photo and bio.
