Tip of the Month: writing a blog post  Blogs have become an increasingly popular format over the last few years. It seems people actually want to know each other's opinions! If you have a vague idea for a blog post but aren't sure where to start, here are a few thoughts to help. -
Give yourself a word limit of 250 words - short posts are easy for people to get into;
- Keep the reader in mind;
- Include links to give context;
- Use a bulleted list to make your points easy to read;
- Add a clear headline (don't be afraid to make a bold statement);
- Most importantly, make your opinions known!
