Why You Must Use MS Word if You’re A Blogger
Blogging for money is one of the most searched terms these days. In the trend, general audience is probably forgetting that blogging can be done just for communicative purpose too. People can write blog entries just to express themselves, share ideas and the likes. No one can be a good blogger unless he has passion in doing it. The purpose of making money from it should come later when you feel that you’re quite good enough in your field. If you start blogging for money from an experienced stage, you are sure to succeed.
But the question is: What things should you follow in order to be a really good blogger?
Be sure to keep in mind that making lots of money from blog doesn’t mean you’re a good blogger as well as making no money doesn’t mean you’re a bad blogger. This all depends on some specific rules to be followed. Personally, I put the higher priority in becoming a better blogger more than a money-making blogging. And I think, that’s what you too should think.
People will read your post only if they find it informative, supportive, easy-to-understand, and is written in a good standard. If your content gives them something, they will read it. If your blog keeps providing quality content in a regular basis, people will eventually love your blog and will subscribe/bookmark it for future reading.
However, if you make silly mistakes, they might harm your image in front of your new visitors. That’s exactly when you badly need help from someone or maybe something to help you.
Clearly, that’s why Microsoft Word is the most recommended software for writers and bloggers.
The Usefulness
Question may arise why Microsoft’s Word is better while other free word-processing tools such as Google Docs are available for use at no cost. Well, the answer is simple; but I need to describe it a little more.
Let me ask you one thing, do you remember the rules of grammar when speaking with somebody? Of course, you don’t. Since you’re a blogger, not a professional writer, you will naturally be writing in a speaking style. And that’s why you might write something that is wrong in the eye of grammar.
People will not go away instantly if you have some grammar mistakes. But why should you keep those spoiling mistakes when you have MS word around?
Microsoft Word is amazingly good for one of its features that check the grammar of composed sentences. Google Docs, including most other Word Processing software don’t include this feature. Previously it was also famous for its spell-checker feature. But since firefox browser now takes care of it, they are no longer needed for spell-checking purpose.
If you have some articles/posts written in WordPress/Blogger (or somewhere else rather than MS Word), just copy it and paste it inside an MS Word Document. 98% chance you’ll find out some grammar mistakes that your eyes missed when proofreading. (You proofread your articles before publishing, right? If no, you’re doing a big mistake.)
For your kind information, it may also be mentioned that A-listed bloggers like John Chow, Darren Rowse, Daniel Scocco, etc use MS Word to find out some silly grammatical errors that their busy brains might have missed.
Shouldn’t WordPress Include this?
WordPress recently acquired “After the Deadline” grammar and spell checker feature. But I have a feeling that After the Deadline is kind of complex. Plus, it often misses tiny mistakes. For experiment, I wrote a piece of article putting some tiny grammatical errors and applied it in both After the Deadline and MS Word. After the Deadline didn’t find it while MS Word automatically replaced the errors with correct forms (If it had alternative choices, it would have shown them instead).
Although Google is taking over everything out there, Microsoft is still rocking for this feature. So, from now on, don’t forget to appoint Microsoft Word to check your writing before you publish it on the web. I highly recommend using MS Word to find out and correct the grammatical errors. Word does it amazingly. Maybe it’s because everything starts with “W” rocks (W for WordPress, W for Word) !
