Liz Strauss at WordCamp Dallas 2009

Liz Strauss from Successful Blog, spoke at WordCamp Dallas 2009 on Attractability, Readability, Irresistibility for your WordPress blog. During her session she put John P, the WordCamp Dallas 2009 organizer, on the spot when she had him edit his WordPress blog, One Man’s Blog, in real time in front of 300 people.

Here are some of the great tips that came out of the session:

Don’t try to get everything into one article.
Leave some room for the reader to add to the conversation.
Don’t try to be the expert in the room. Just be available to people.
Leave more whitespace so that your readers can breath.
Write in a conversational voice to engage readers.
Use fixed with blog layout to ensure that text width doesn’t extend past what people are comfortable with.
