I also have  a Best Blogging Tip of the Day – How to Write Engaging
Commentaries

Most blog posts are based on personal opinion, a way of expressing views on
a range of issues, as opposed to traditional news stories which are based on
fact. But columnists are paid big bucks for their opinions – usually because
they are either trained journalists or have considerable expertise on the
topic they write about. But as bloggers you can write engaging commentaries
for your blogs if you follow a few simple steps:

1. Ensure you are knowledgeable on the topic you are blogging about – if not
research it thoroughly.
2.  Be entertaining – humour is entertaining but be mindful of your
audience.
3. Engage the reader – the best way to do this is by allowing your
personality to shine through your writing – don’t be too formal.
4. Advance a coherent argument – don’t jump from pillar to post – make two
to three clear points.
5. Back up arguments with evidence and examples – unsubstantiated statements
don’t hold water.
6. Have a strong conclusion that is thought-provoking – you want to leave
your readers with something to think about – or even better to discuss with
others.
