Organization (Group Leader Nadine Epperson)

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. Categories and tags aid in narrowing the focus of each post within the blog. Headers and sub-headers should give the reader a clear indication of what is contained in each section. By using lists, digital media writers can highlight important content, break up posts, and guide readers through a sequence of information. 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.

Links

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.
