So you wanna write for the blog, huh? Stick to some of the rules below, for the sake of consistency.
Writing
- Name the post after the reviewed item; avoid cutsey headlines
- Keep it short: 300-500 words usually does the trick
- Include a rating (on a scale of 1-5) and a three-word summary (for fun)
- Make sure to proofread, because you probably made mistakes the first time
Images
- Upload a high quality (800+ px) image of what you’re reviewing
- Make sure to re-name the image file after the review subject before uploading
- To upload, simply drag-and-drop on screen or navigate to the Media page
- Assign said image as the Featured image of your post
- Also, embed a medium-sized image thumbnail into the post
Web Stuff
- Add to a category (books, movies, etc.); this should be pretty obvious
- Include tags to label the post (eg. genres, actors, authors, etc.)
- When finished, you can hit Publish
