Today, I’ve prepared a quick blogging tip: Be sure to preview your blog posts before publishing them. Although it’s simple, it’s important to make sure your post is in working order before publishing it and promoting it to your niche and community.

I always preview a post before I hit the “Publish” button. There are many reasons for this.

  • Misspelled words & grammar
  • Messy, un-formatted text
  • Photos have become too large
  • Images haven’t floated properly amongst text

Although your post may contain many other areas that need correcting, these are some of the more common problems.

Remember—the more care you take in promoting yourself as a neat and proper blogger, the greater your influence will be on your community. Don’t poison your readers with mistakes that could have easily been fixed by previewing before publishing.
