<p>Kaseymiller km: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Proofreading''' is essential for all writing. It creates a seamless document by correcting all errors. Proofreading [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofreading] is reviewing and rereading a document looking for errors. When proofreading look for typos [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/typo], misspelled words, punctuation and grammar [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_grammar] mistakes, and any other problems within the document. Having a flawless, error free, document gives creditably and is easier for the audience [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audience] to read and understand.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Why Proofreading is Important ==<br /> <br /> Content is important but the way a document looks affects the way others judge it. Careless errors are distracting to readers. It is important to pay attention to details because it helps make a good impression overall. It is better to work with a definite plan that helps search for specific kinds of errors rather than quickly glancing over the document. When quickly glancing over a document it is easy to overlook many errors. <br /> <br /> <br /> == Checklist ==<br /> When proofreading, first put the document aside for a few hours, days, or weeks. This allows for a fresh look at the document to see what is really on the page. Find a quite place to work. Read slow, and read every word. Read aloud. By following a proofreading checklist, it is easier to find common errors [http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/561/02/]. Proofread for only one kind of error at a time. <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Spelling:'''<br /> Look for misspelled words. Using a spell checker [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spell_checker] will find most errors and typos, but not all. It is important not to only rely on spell checker but to also review and reread your document. Spell checkers almost always do not correct homophones [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homophones](there, their, they're), words used incorrectly, and contractions [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contraction_(grammar)](don't, won't, can't). <br /> <br /> '''Punctuation:'''<br /> Punctuation [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punctuation] is not checked with the spell checker. When rereading your document look for punctuation errors. This includes periods [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period_(punctuation)], commas [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma], colons [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colon_(punctuation)], semicolons [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicolon], quotations [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark], and the correct punctuation with citing sources. <br /> <br /> '''Content:'''<br /> When proofreading be sure to also pay attention to the content. Check for clarity, organization, variation of sentence structure and word choice. Check for correct grammar [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_grammar] . Check your document to make sure your tense [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenses] stays the same throughout (past, first-person, present). Be sure to stay within the same format throughout (MLA, APA).

<p>Kaseymiller km: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Proofreading''' is essential for all writing. It creates a seamless document by correcting all errors. Proofreading [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofreading] is reviewing and rereading a document looking for errors. When proofreading look for typos [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/typo], misspelled words, punctuation and grammar [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_grammar] mistakes, and any other problems within the document. Having a flawless, error free, document gives creditably and is easier for the audience [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audience] to read and understand.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Why Proofreading is Important ==<br /> <br /> Content is important but the way a document looks affects the way others judge it. Careless errors are distracting to readers. It is important to pay attention to details because it helps make a good impression overall. It is better to work with a definite plan that helps search for specific kinds of errors rather than quickly glancing over the document. When quickly glancing over a document it is easy to overlook many errors. <br /> <br /> <br /> == Checklist ==<br /> When proofreading, first put the document aside for a few hours, days, or weeks. This allows for a fresh look at the document to see what is really on the page. Find a quite place to work. Read slow, and read every word. Read aloud. By following a proofreading checklist, it is easier to find [[common errors]] [http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/561/02/]. Proofread for only one kind of error at a time. <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Spelling:'''<br /> Look for misspelled words. Using a [[spell checker]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spell_checker] will find most errors and typos, but not all. It is important not to only rely on spell checker but to also review and reread your document. Spell checkers almost always do not correct [[homophones]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homophones](there, their, they're), words used incorrectly, and [[contractions]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contraction_(grammar)](don't, won't, can't). <br /> <br /> '''Punctuation:'''<br /> [[Punctuation]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punctuation] is not checked with the spell checker. When rereading your document look for punctuation errors. This includes [[periods]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period_(punctuation)], [[commas]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma], [[colons]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colon_(punctuation)], [[semicolons]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicolon], [[quotations]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark], and the correct punctuation with citing sources. <br /> <br /> '''Content:'''<br /> When proofreading be sure to also pay attention to the content. Check for clarity, organization, variation of sentence structure and word choice. Check for correct [[grammar]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_grammar] . Check your document to make sure your [[tense]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenses] stays the same throughout (past, first-person, present). Be sure to stay within the same format throughout (MLA, APA). Also pay close attention to the way the document looks (margins and fonts). <br /> <br /> '''Proofread Again:'''<br /> It does not hurt to reread your document many times looking for errors and ways to improve it.

<p>Kaseymiller km: /* Proofreading by Kasey Miller */</p> <hr /> <div>==Focus (Group Leader Shanna Dixon)==<br /> The planning stage of creating a blog begins by developing a focus. Developing a focus involves choosing a blog topic, researching, setting [[participation]] standards, and identifying a target [[audience]]. By choosing a focused topic, researching to establish authority, developing relevant means of participation for the interactive needs of the audience, and knowing the targeted audience the college student will be prepared to create blog content within a platform that will be most engaging. The best blogs are highly specific.&lt;ref&gt;Carrol, 163&lt;/ref&gt; Devoting time to developing focus strengthens a blog's chance at thriving in the digital world. <br /> <br /> ===[[Choosing Your Topic|Choosing Your Topic]] by Amy Rehner===<br /> Choosing a focused topic is essential to the success of the overall blog. A topic expresses one essential idea within writing and unifies each successive post. At first, a specific topic may seem to confine creativity, but focusing the topic actually provides endless creative possibilities. A focused topic encourages the audience to engage more actively and interact as a part of a blog community, ultimately enhancing the popularity of the blog.<br /> <br /> ===[[Research Methods|Research Methods]] by Melissa Grantham===<br /> Research is the process of gathering information, evaluating it, and applying it to a question or problem. When writing for digital media, research allows writers to narrow their focus. Having a narrow focus makes a blog more interesting and the writer an expert on the topic.<br /> <br /> ===[[Participation|Participation]] by Marian G. Brewer===<br /> When starting a blog, it is important the college student knows how to encourage participation with not only other bloggers, but the readers. Participation is more than just writing in a clean and concise manner. Blog authors must understand that a blog does not operate in a vacuum, but instead is a piece of a vast branching network. Blogrolls, share buttons, and enabling comments are a few ways to increase participation.<br /> <br /> ===[[Audience|Audience]] by Shanna Dixon===<br /> <br /> Before creating content for a blog, it is important, first, to identify the audience. The blog author should define the target audience, research the target audience, and understand the conventions expected in terms of language, design, and credibility before creating content. In this way, the author will be able to build toward an interactive community based on shared points of view and relevancy in order to engage the targeted reader with pertinent information and sources.<br /> <br /> ==Organization (Group Leader Nadine Epperson)==<br /> To maintain readership of a blog, a writer must create an organized space. Quality content can easily be overlooked on a cluttered, inconsistent page. Organization includes the overall structure of the site as well as the individual posts. There are several things that contribute to this consistency.[[Categorizing Posts | Categories and tags]] aid in narrowing the focus of each post within the blog. [[Headers and Sub-headers | Headers and sub-headers]] should give the reader a clear indication of what is contained in each section. By using [[Lists | lists]], digital media writers can highlight important content, break up posts, and guide readers through a sequence of information. [[Links | Links]] connect the page to other sites on the internet and offer access to other portions of the blog. All of these elements support the structure of an organized, consistent environment for content. <br /> <br /> ===[[Categorizing Posts|Categorizing Posts]] by Candice Barca===<br /> <br /> Categorizing a post is vital to the structure and organization of a blog. Categories help readers quickly identify the content of a blog. Tags provide specific information while grouping together like posts. Together categories and tags make it easier for readers to navigate the information within a blog.<br /> <br /> ===[[Headers and Sub-headers|Headers and Sub-headers]] by Chrissonia McCall===<br /> <br /> Headers and sub-headers are an important part of blogging used to organize content. Keeping in mind the goals and vision of the blog, headers and sub-headers help readers find specific information in a short amount of time.<br /> <br /> ===[[Lists|Lists]] by Tiory Clark===<br /> While developing a blog, lists can be used to not only emphasize subjects, but highlight important texts. It is imperative that the blog remain focused on its subject and has clarity. Lists help a reader to navigate the posts successfully and easily. Lists can also be detrimental to a blog if overused or incorrectly formatted. In digital Media a mistake like that can costs readers and credibility.<br /> <br /> ===[[Links|Links]] by Nadine Epperson===<br /> No page on the internet stands alone. The connection of sites on the internet is what makes the web interactive. Links play a vital role in maintaining this interactivity. By connecting to other areas of the internet, readers are given access to an unlimited pool of information.<br /> <br /> ==Writing Style (Group Leader Kristin Hanlin)==<br /> After choosing a well-researched and focused topic and organizing the aesthetic and technical aspects of running a blog, blog writers must develop a consistent style for writing for digital media. It is crucial to keep in mind that online writing is an entirely different world separate from print. With the freedom digital media allows writers, there are also certain responsibilities that must be maintained in order for a blog to be effective at appealing to readers. Though writing for digital media encompasses writing techniques that are useful in print media (like following the [[Inverted Pyramid|Inverted Pyramid]] and [[proofreading|proofreading]] your posts), there are also key differences. Blogs must be [[Scan-ability|scannable]], because digital readers do not like to have to read without direction. While writing for a blog, less is typically more and [[brevity | brevity]] is admired. Following these writing techniques will help lead to the development of a credible an appealing blog.<br /> <br /> ===[[Scan-ability|Scan-ability]] by Kristin Hanlin===<br /> If digital writing is not scannable, many times it will not be read. Writers of digital media must pay special attention to scan-ability because readers of digital writing are known to be easily distracted, impatient, and unwilling to read huge blocks of text. Digital writers must understand and utilize different properties of text, visuals, multimedia, and linking to maximize scan-ability.<br /> <br /> ===[[Brevity|Brevity]] by Haley Clarke===<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===[[Inverted Pyramid|Inverted Pyramid]] by Siobahn Fisher===<br /> <br /> College students should familiarize themselves with the inverted pyramid. This design for news and information delivery via the web will help new bloggers quickly achieve brevity while communicating in a concise way. The inverted pyramid is important to the retention of a blog's audience.<br /> <br /> ===[[Proofreading|Proofreading]] by Kasey Miller===<br /> <br /> ----<br /> Proofreading is essential for all writing. It requires reviewing and revising mistakes for a flawless and error free document. Proofreading for mistakes gives creditability to your document and will not distract readers with mistakes.<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> #Carrol, Brian.

Using the spell checker will find most errors and typos, but not all. It is important not to only rely on spell checker but to also review and reread your document. Spell checkers almost always do not correct homophones(there, their, they're), words used incorrectly, and contractions(don't, won't, can't). <br /> <br /> '''Punctuation:'''<br /> Punctuation is not checked with the spell checker. When rereading your document look for punctuation errors. This includes periods, commas, colons, semicolons, quotations, and the correct punctuation with citing sources. <br /> <br /> '''Content'''<br /> When proofreading be sure to also pay attention to the content. Check for clarity, organization, variation of sentence structure and word choice. Check that your document to make sure your tense stays the same throughout (past, first-person, present). Also pay close attention to the way the document looks (margins and fonts). <br /> <br /> '''Proofread Again'''<br /> It does not hurt to reread your document many times looking for errors and ways to improve it. It is easy to look over an error or mistake but the more close a document has been proofread there will be less or no problems. Also, consider having a peer or professor look over the document as well.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> <br /> [[The Purdue Online Writing Lab]] [http://owl.english.purdue.edu/]<br /> Webster's Proofreader's Marks [http://www.merriam-webster.com/mw/table/proofrea.htm]</div>
