最近有個博友問我寫博心得, 突如其來其實都好難回答呢個問題.. 雖然在下寫博都有段頗長日子, 但係未至於去到傳授心得呢個階段.. 又或者同大家分享我一向嚟嘅習慣同偏好啦, 不過唔好以為我故意影射其他人, 每個人都有自己嘅style架嘛, 冇話對或錯嘅~~
- 寫得太過簡短, 讀者好難畀回應, 通常我就會湊埋啲短topic, 通常都係三個湊成一個雜記囉..
- 寫得太過長篇大論, 讀者實冇耐性睇, 通常我就會發揮我嘅scripting本領, 畀讀者揀讀摘要或詳情..
- 同一個post我絕對唔貼太多相, 因為會令到loading好超慢.. 個人認為至少要一張(因為全文字好悶), 四張係我嘅極限(用scripting分享嘅例外)..
- 同一個topic我絕對唔分幾次寫, 尤其遊記我儘量一個地點一鋪搞掂.. 個人認為一個遊記要寫十篇span幾個月, 對讀者耐性係一種磨煉..
recently a blogger friend asked me for tips on blogging, i think this is actually a tough question to answer properly in a sudden.. though i've been blogging for quite some time, guess i have not gone to that level eligible to giving advise.. or perhaps what i can share is some of my blogging
habits and preference, but don't get me wrong, i'm not pinpointing anyone as everyone has their own style of blogging, there's no right or wrong here~~
- if a post is too short, readers will find it difficult to comment.. hence i would always combine few (normally three) short topics into one random post..
- if a post is too lengthy, readers will sure loose their patience to continue reading.. this is when i'll "show-off" my scripting skills to allow readers to choose either reading only summary or full details..
- i try not to post loads of photos within one post, as this will definitely slow down the loading.. i personally think there must be one (pure wordings would be too dull), and four is my maximum (except those shared using scripting)..
- i try not to split one topic into several posts, especially travelogue i attempt to get it done in one post per destination.. i personally think it's a challenge to the reader's patience if a destination is kept mentioned in 10 posts spanning few months time..

Cham...mine are mostly photos.
ReplyDelete我就是那種藥挑戰讀者耐心的人
ReplyDelete哈哈
SK 师傅， 你没问题啦，你的部落拥有很多新旧支持者，sure win !
ReplyDeleteya lor i find tat ppl dont have the patience to read long post one...but then again this is bloggin maa hor...not like reading to sit for exam hahahaha
ReplyDeleteTo each his own as well as pros and cons, I guess, but I do agree about overloading on images because it can get irritating at times just waiting for them to load. Of course, readers have a choice to move on or not visit just as bloggers have a choice to have long or short posts. A balance is good.
ReplyDeleteI also wanna use javascript liao.
ReplyDeletei simply write my blog, i have no 寫博之道....u r too deep thou
ReplyDeleteOuh....yeah...I know what you mean? sometimes if too short it is hard to comment right? Just like mine.
ReplyDeleteHaha :D Mine is full of photos right?
ReplyDeleteA~ha! you are pin pointing that someone is the person that I know. :p
ReplyDelete@1 i agreee.. short post... hard to spam...
ReplyDeletei love random posting...
i love the scripting Sk...
ReplyDeletein my top five... i always put pictures in every top five entry... so that even they are tired to read the articles.....they still enjoy my list by looking at the photos
though sometimes photos make my blog load slower
ReplyDeletehow about placing photos using embed codes from some image hosting site like photo bucket or image shack... does it make any difference or still affect the sites loading time??
ReplyDeleteby the way i hate photobucket.. i have an account before with this site but someting went wrong with my images after i have reached the maximum bandwidth...
ReplyDeleteactually i love split travelogue post like what foongpc did on his blog... it was like i am also traveling each place and his tourng me around
ReplyDeletewhat annoy me actually are blogs that post 3-4 entries per day LOL
ReplyDeletethan out of that 4 post, 3 are sponsored and one is just a filler post
have a great day Sk and happy blogging
ReplyDeleteOh great! This post is good for NOOB like me. Agree with HappySurfer to keep a moderate & balance post would be safe..
ReplyDeleteI have no problem with uploading fellow bloggers posts with pixs would click on at least 4 or 5 at one go and later return to read.
ReplyDeleteMy greatest challenge is long wordy post where I cant to get full concentration and drift off. I would prefer lots of pixs. That's why I always love reading comics than novels. Love to read motivational books with cartoons, charts, diagrams, etc..tQ
ReplyDeleteEhemmm....I am the one with so many pix in my post :P *paiseh*
ReplyDeleteding dong! am here! LOL. MWAHAHA my post not "stable" one. sometimes lots pixies, sometimes not. :p
ReplyDeletesplit post was okay to me. :) i love something like witch's blog , lots to read but she made it in multiple pages. im likey! vialentino's blog with photos but he made it in notes form. simple!
ReplyDeleten urs! show off ur scripting skills ! envy u!! =D
ReplyDeleteLastly, i think i can accept how ppl blog. :) different people, different opinion n style. :)
ReplyDeleteI dislike lengthy posts with too many photos. Scrolling down the images makes me dizzy.
ReplyDeleteMake it short and sweet and interesting. That's the way to go. At least for me.
agree with all the statement you made.
ReplyDeleteblogging is not a easy job!
totally my cup of tea..
ReplyDeletei only write and read blogs with little wording.. not many pics.. and str to the point.. :)
( except those copy & paste ones ;p )
我喜欢几张照片+一些描述！
ReplyDelete简单又方便！
所谓一图胜千言，同埋有共鸣嘅嘢都系我写blog嘅宗旨仲有我嘅中文文法唔多好所以写嘅嘢多数简短易明，哈哈！
ReplyDelete嗱，SK家阵塞钱入我哋个袋，各位新手同老雀我哋齐齐向SK师父学习喇！嚟，我哋齐齐拜见师父！！！
ReplyDeleteIf a post is too short, readers will find it difficult to comment - hahaha! I know lah, too short cannot think of what to spam you! LOL!
ReplyDeleteIf a post is too lengthy, readers will sure loose their patience to continue reading - definitely agree but ah, I also like to write long, long posts! Can't be helped - i juz like it! But trying to cut down to spare my readers. LOL! : )
ReplyDeleteEh, your scripting skill very good lah, but no need to show off lah. Haha! Too much showing off is a turn off. LOL!
ReplyDeleteBut guess what? You give me a choice to read option A or B I end up reading both!! Damn!!
ReplyDeletehaha i smell some sarcasm.
ReplyDeleteCos too curious to know what is in the other option, so end up clicking it and read it as well. Your options are pof no use for people like me! Haha
ReplyDeletehehe i think if it's too short, you must put some pictures, or at least a picture so that people can put the focus on the picture too instead of the short post :)
ReplyDeleteI love posting loads of photos! But I can't stand it if the photos take too long to load too! Haha! Well, no problem for me - I go blog hopping and after reading a few blogs, return and hey presto - all the photos fully loaded! : )
ReplyDeleteBut that's because I like to blog hop. If I only visit that one blog that loads slowly, die lo, sure lose my patience! Haha
ReplyDeleteOh no!! I tend to split topic into several posts (especially travelogues)!!
ReplyDeleteCos there's just too many details and things I want to blog about! If I put one post per destination, die lo, that post will be soooo long it'll stretch from my house to Africa! LOL!
So no no no! Have to split into many different posts. Besides, if one post per destination, it's too general and I am the kind who like to read the details. So general might as well don't blog about it right? Haha!
ReplyDeleteTalking about that, gosh, have to resume blogging about my China trip last year - and I wonder how many more posts for that! Don't even dare to think about it!
ReplyDelete其实我都在写日常生活和大家分享。。。其余的，可能都是感想篇。。。自娱自乐！
ReplyDelete短topic，post上Facebook好過。。。
ReplyDelete相我resize過先upload。如果係bitmap file我轉去JPEG會細好多。
ReplyDelete然後我既blog很少widget，太多都係load好慢。
ReplyDelete同樣post不應該太長，因為我都係冇耐性。
ReplyDelete最近在追戏剧~~~有点懒咯！
ReplyDelete有很多篇未完成~~~
Interesting tips! Though I think I broke like 2 out of your 4 tips! LOL!
ReplyDeleteNot too long, not too short, just nice.....uh uh, sound obscene..., :p
ReplyDeleteyeah....i got problem with travel post...many things to post and i am compiling to make it as one post per day...hahaha.
ReplyDeletedont know what you wrote it chinese :-( so understand half only which the English part
ReplyDeletesmallkucing:
ReplyDeletehaha, why cham leh?? those smallkucing photos so cute i enjoy looking at them woh~~ :p
十六:
哈哈, 還好我是一個有耐性的人~~ :D
单身汉:
ReplyDelete希望如此啦, 所以我不斷的要改進, 才可以吸引更多的讀者嘛, 其實都是雙贏局面囉.. :)
manglish:
yalor, if too many words then maybe can have some photos for a break lah.. if the entire page also words, people will just drift away lor..
HappySurfer:
ReplyDeleteyeah, it's actually everyone's different style of blogging.. some like it heavy some like it light, but to me a balance is always the preferred one.. let me give you a trick, for those heavy blog, click on them and go to other sites and come back maybe 5 minutes later, am sure the loading is done.. haha :D
Kelvin:
haha, why leh?? you have lots of photos and very lengthy posts meh?? no woh, all yours are jokes only mah~~ :p
Wois:
ReplyDeletehahaha, of course you have your own way of writing your posts.. you have your own 寫博之道 too, just that you didn't realised~~ :)
Tekkaus:
haha, must give a lot of inspiration for readers to comment mah, and better still spamming, hahaha!! errr, yours ok ah, cos you only shows excerpts, and no problem loading your blog at all.. errr, i'm not pinpointing anyone woh, haha, so who's in your mind, care to share with me here?? :D
bluedreamer27:
ReplyDeleteyeah, try to keep at a moderate length for each posts.. haha, i like random posts too, because this kind of post is best for comments spamming, hahahaha!! yeah, pictures are necessary, because without picture a whole page of pure words is just too dull.. but then just not too much of photos, if you need to upload photos perhaps downsize it before uploading..
bluedreamer27:
hmm, i have no idea how good are those image placeholders.. could be good you can have slide shows and one-image-per-click, but i guess i can do that well with my javascripts too, hahahaha!! hehe, so you split your travelogue, so that you feel like you are travelling all the time yeah?? haha.. hmmm, you are right too, multiple posts in a day, and every post is just two lines, or else a whole lot of photos.. i hate that too actually.. you too have a great day blogging~~ :)
Bananazஇ:
ReplyDeleteyeah, try to keep a moderate length and a few photos per post, this would be more readable.. haha, i also do that, just click on few blogs and then go somewhere else while waiting for them to complete the loading, guess this is the best i can do already.. of course, if compared to long wordy posts, those with lots of pics are more preferred, at least looking at photos is a lot easier and interesting right?? but frankly i hate those camwhoring photos, multiple photos with different pose at the same location!! give me a break..
uLi.佑莉:
haha, you are "photographer" mah, of course want to upload many photos to share with your readers lah.. nvm, i normally open your blog, and then go to other blogs while waiting for yours to complete the loading, so not a problem, hahaha~~ :D
Caroline Ng May Ling:
ReplyDeletehaha, not stable meh?? i thot always steadily posting a lot of photos in your posts one?? hahahaha.. oh, witch blog is not the split post that i'm referring to, hers is doing pagination for each of her blog, this is a nice idea also.. what i meant is those one event, then write 10 post for continuous one month those type, very boring lor.. hehehe, yalah, but different people different style mah, gotta respect others one..
Mei Teng:
comparing to length posts with lots of words, i still can accept those with piles of photos.. but then i agree with you, i hate scrolling too much, it's best if i can see everything within the screen height, that's why a short and simple post is my liking.. :)
CH Voon:
ReplyDeleteyeah, blogging is not easy, and it's even tougher to make people like your blog.. :)
Danny:
haha, that's why we enjoy reading your blog mah.. sweet and short and straight to the point, and always end with a question to provoke our thinking.. :)
H@rry:
ReplyDelete其實圖文並茂是最好的.. 因為只是文字沒有圖片很悶.. 只是圖畫沒有文字, 又很那個~~
路人㊣:
係啊, 如果可以引起共鳴就最好不過啦.. 圖片就肯定唔可以少喇, 齋睇文字好寡架嘛.. 其實要寫到一篇好post, 都唔係容易嘅事嚟架~~
edward:
ReplyDelete又唔好咁講, 咁大頂帽兜頭笠落嚟, 我受唔起架.. 比起其他blog界高手, 我算係老幾唧?? :D
foongpc:
hahaha, actually to be more exact, i should say a post should inspire the readers to comment.. and if too short, then readers have no way to spam already, hahahaha!! that's why i love all your random notes post lor, kekekeke!! realised i spam more than 20 comments in your recent post?? :D but then too lengthy a post really will make the readers impatient and won't be interested to continue till the end, so i guess a moderate one will do the trick.. :) hahaha, ok ok, next time i do option A and B and C and D, so that you'll go and read more!! wakakakakaka~~ :D
Medie007:
ReplyDeleteooopsss, did it?? i didn't intend to do that, just sharing my thoughts only~~ :)
Faisal Admar:
i think there must be at least a photo in your post.. pure words will make the post too dull, just to add some colors to the post and readers will feel happier reading, haha~~ :)
foongpc:
ReplyDeleteyeah, now that's what i'm doing.. i respect bloggers that love to post loads of photos, so i'll just open the page, hop to some other blogs, and return after 5 minutes and all the photos are ready there!! hahaha, of course we all know you love to split your travelogue into infinitely many posts!! haha.. every post of the infinitely many post, you will talk about every details.. yeah, kind of good cos you can remember what happened when u read them back in the future.. and also, it makes you feel like you are travelling everyday huh?? haha.. oh, your China trip has not end yet?? ok ok, please go ahead to continue, else you'll forgotten after you've gone somewhere later~~ :p
发白日梦^^:
每個人都有他們自己的題材和寫作風格啊, 要不然怎麼能夠做到百花齊放呢?? 對不對?? 哈哈, 最近你寫很多工作上的煩惱哦~~ :)
khengsiong:
ReplyDelete我好少上FB架, FB係status update, 咁我啲短topic又未至於咁短.. 梗係啦, 我都會downsize啲相先post上去架, 所以就算你見我個blog有好多相, 其實個loading都唔會慢架.. widget又係一個頭痛嘅事, 都唔明點解要擺咁多cutie widget落去呢?? @_@
Chris Chia:
哈哈, 原來你在追連續劇啊?? 我還以為你工作忙到沒有時間寫blog呢~~ :D
iamthewitch:
ReplyDeleteerrr, not really, because you only show excerpts for each post, and every post is paginated, so never have problem with loading your blog woh.. furthermore, all your photos so yummilicious, who minds?? :)
Mandy Ling:
errr, you notti only.. we all never though of anything else other than the blog posts woh~~ :D
vialentino:
ReplyDeletehaha, sometimes it's not easy to do travel posts.. there's so much to share, and yet you want to limit your post length and the number of photos to post.. but i'd tried to do one destination per post, and if there's anything more special, then maybe exception lor..
saucer:
hmmm, if you read only the English then you've read 100% what i wanted to say, both Chinese and English are the same contents, just different language.. :)
yeah....to me will put a small caption ler...lazy to write and describe so much unless is official review...hahaha....i am such a lazy person
ReplyDeleteagree, but my latest post has no picture! duh! :(
ReplyDeleteI find it hard for reader to comment my posts. Learned a tips to make it easy for commentor, by asking some questions in the end of a post.
ReplyDeleteThks for the tips.....can put it into good use...Cheers!
ReplyDeleteeh.. eh.. when u blog one? why i don't know one??!!!
ReplyDeleteohh.. because i was too busy reading other stuff.... =.="
ReplyDeleteHK!!!

ReplyDeleteoh... ya loh... if too short dunno how to comment.. can comment la.. but don't know what to spam loh
ReplyDeleteerrr... =.="
ReplyDeletebut u have a lot of readers ma..
and u r very creative, can do so simple summary one..
and scripting is powerful loh...
ReplyDeleteas far as i know la... got 2 type of ITs one..
1 --> don't actually like all those programs thingy, but force to do because they chose the wrong subject.. =.="
ReplyDelete2 --> super love programing, got time also kaji/do new program for fun like that..
ReplyDeleteso which type are u ar?
ReplyDeletekekekeke.... most programmer i know also wont touch about programing after work one... coz very tiring..
ReplyDelete哈哈！我最记得你时常遇到 LRT\KTM 给你的麻烦。
ReplyDelete我写部落是当着自己的成长日记，心路历程。
不管长短，对自己重要的记录，没人看也没关系。
我发现你有些朋友留言很奇怪，
ReplyDelete怎么分几次来留言？
要增加你的读者留言，特地让你开心啊？
他们对你也真用心哦！
vialentino:
ReplyDeletehaha, i also like that, i don't even put caption for pictures, unless i think it needs more explanation.. normally one photo per post, it's the photo that complement my words, not my words that complement the photo lor..
Faisal Admar:
hmmm, i think you could have post a youtube clip for your song in your post, then people will be able to know what song you're competing for.. right?? :)
Ghosty Nana:
ReplyDeletehmmm, i think it's a matter of writing something that can create a response from your readers.. yeah, i would think asking some questions can do the trick.. :)
peteformation:
haha, not any tips but i think those are what i've been doing all the while.. cheers you back, have a nice day :)
Donna:
ReplyDeletesee?? you OT until you blur blur already, i blog two days ago lor.. haha, getting ready to go to HK already?? so doing research and planning your itinerary is it?? so when are you going to HK?? haha, that's why lor, i must make sure my readers got things to comment mah, and if possible let you have more inspiration to spam!! muahahaha~~ errr, i'm actually not a programmer lah, now doing other non-programming stuff, but sometimes hands itchy will try out the scripting here lor..
Ashley:
因為LRT/KTM很多問題, 所以遇到麻煩的機率也跟著多啊.. 對喇, 其實寫blog都是為了把自己的日記記下, 以後看會的時候, 真的另有一番滋味的.. 呵呵, 這就叫做comment spamming囉, 我們都在彼此的blog做這些東西, 其實也不知道是誰帶頭的喇, 就是很好玩的樣子囉.. :p
eh.. eh.. u changed your layout already...
ReplyDeletethis morning see still the old layout leh..
yup.. planning for HK....
ReplyDeletewhen planning actly a bit sien leh..
coz u dunno the place, every place also need google the map see
after google the map out, then need to see direction "HOW TO GO"?
ReplyDeleteafter "HOW TO GO", need see the price incurred..
ReplyDeletethen breakfast eat what, lunch eat what, dinner eat what also need plan.. Zzz.. because got a few very famous restaurant, die die must eat one.. then need think where to slot them into my schedule..
ReplyDeleteaiya.. 1 word to describe.. TIRED...
ReplyDeletereally fuxxing tired, brain also tired, eyes also tired...
now the draft for Hong Kong is completed!!!
wait my friends to add in the detail one.
really super super detail one, i tell u.. maybe i should blog, but dunno how accuracy how high loh, coz i also refer to blogs/online korek one. Zzz
ReplyDeletenext month 23 going loh.. but so expensive, maybe last minute "suk sa" also.. =_____="
ReplyDeletecoz a few friends already "suk sa" due to ermm.. "unforeseen circumtances" =.="
eh... i all the while also thought you are IT/programmer/System analyst/Mist Engineer
ReplyDeletesomething there la.. =.="
hmmm, you might think this is just your normal practice.. but wow, i think it looks like very good tips for new bloggers to follow.. :)
ReplyDeletei gotta agree with you, i don't like scrolling too much in order to finish reading a post.. loads of photos still ok for me, but then if too wordy i think i'll just click on the "X" button to close the window, hahahaha!! :D
ReplyDeletescripting?? i like the way you use scripting to make your posts looks neater and cleaner.. mind sharing your scripts to us here??
ReplyDeleteDonna:
ReplyDeleteyalah, must change the layout once in a while to refresh the view mah, or else everytime see the same layout also boring lah.. wah, still got more than 1 month to go woh, you so early already doing research and planning lah?? very hardworking lor, so your tobby left all the work to you ah?? hmmm, how many days are you going there woh?? last time i also got planned for a 4 days tight itinerary for my friend leh, haha, but dunno where is the document already.. yalah, maybe you should blog that out, then see got anybody can give you comments or advice or not mah.. i secretly tell you lah, last time i've been staying in HK for about 1 year lor.. hehehehe~~ :p
victor:
haha, really didn't intend to give tips but just to share with everyone my style.. yah, looks like i'm pinpointing someone but i didn't really.. just that i think we have to be moderate, not too short and not too lengthy, must have some pics but not until it caused loading problem.. oh yeah, sure, i'm more happy to share the scripts, but due to blogger block some of those characters i can only email them to those who are interested.. :)
WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~ ONE YEAR!!!

Donna's friend

ReplyDelete寫blog都有心得？我本人就純粹寫嚟發洩，冇其他。
ReplyDeleteDonna:
ReplyDeleteof course mah, birthday must on leave, don't want to work one!! haha, every year i also take leave don't want to work on my birthday one.. birthday working, somemore OT, you really no life lor, hahahaha!! eih, don't expect too much from me lah, just trying to advise and give you some adjustment on the itinerary only.. only 1 year there, not really familiar with all the places lah.. basically you have all the places and things in the plan already lah.. the SOHO ah, in Central one, just take the escalator to go there lah.. mainly go there and eat nice food only..
Donna's Friend:
haha, no problem, but please don't expect too much from me huh, cause i still not very familiar with HK one.. but maybe just try to adjust a little bit so that you have the most from your original itinerary mah, anyway Donna has a good plan already originally.. :)
Ayie:
ReplyDeletehaha, yeah, but i guess your blog is starting with a photo and you tell story from that right?? everyone has their own style of blogging though, as long as you enjoy doing that, just keep on with that.. :)
海市蜃樓:
係架, 我都係覺得冇咩心得架, 都係寫吓當時個腦諗到嘅嘢唧~~
