If you know what your writing about and truly enjoy it, it can be fun.
Yeah exactly, that’s the point. Can you please tell me any site that accepts every written content if it is your own personal property and is not plagiarized?
Actually, it is a lot better if you put your position on your readers’ shoes. It is not so much about how you would enjoy writing than how your readers would enjoy your article.
Yeah wardcobyson, you’re also right. Readers must enjoy reading your composition till end. This is what you can call your success, otherwise, your article is nothing less than a failure.
All the replies have merit. One thing that comes to mind is the goal of the article. Ask yourself what’s the article supposed to achieve? Is it to entertain? Sell? Attract following? Each of the situations I named as examples calls for a very different type of writing; even the angle of the article would be different in each case… Think before you write because writing effective content is less a matter of hard labor than the decision you make BEFORE you start writing.
That is so true. I think this is what Stephen R. Covey had in mind when he said “begin with the end in mind”.
knowing what you want your article of blog should achieve can make a difference indeed.
I find Wikipedia.org to be a great resource for general content I’m researching. I also use W3Schools.org for web design tips and tutorials. I apologize if either of these were already mentioned.
I find eating huge pizzas and family size bags of chips good for losing weight 
Wikipedia and W3schools have their uses, but they are not authoritative, and they have lots of inaccuracies and inconsistencies in them. Write about what you know about. If you have to look the answers up in Wikipedia, you probably don’t know enough to write a good article - you’re just rehashing other people’s work. If you want web design tips and help, what’s wrong with reference.sitepoint.com?
The way you write what you know about is through research and study. Although wikipedia isn’t the best of the research sites, it generally has a list of authoritative references that you can look into and often those references have links and citations that will lead you further into your subject.
Further, any writer who writes only about what he knows and doesn’t bother to research is a poor writer in my opinion. Even authorities generally back up their work with the opinions of other authorities and facts that they have gathered through research.
If you are writing about something as you learn, you can touch upon points tutorial writers miss. And there are some especially big points being missed.
Why is it tutorials are exclusively, ruinously, about a program (or language, or markup) without point or purpose? A series of “Hello World” exercises, completely maladapted for client work or user focus?
Tutorials are ground zero for the “vapid web.” Training for a monomania resulting in stupid [Insert Topic] tricks. …CSS tricks. …PHP tricks. …Photoshop tricks.
To the point where you can (or could, just a few years back) find a million layout hacks, and precious few ways to do a pullquote, caption, or style the Q&A for an interview to visually group the question with the answer.
Jquery has devolved into a politically correct stupid Flash trick wannabe in consequence of this.
Another example, take a logo design tutorial. No, not a tutorial confined to the dropdowns of PhotoShop or Illustrator, a logo design tutorial. There are very, very few.
Recall every logo tutorial you can think of, then check out this logo design tutorial. Could it be an Illustrator tutorial? Of course. It could also be for anything else, on or off the computer as well. (just FYI, clip art existed from the time Cut and Paste were lower case, and done with scissors, paper, and real paste).
The point is, it is not an Illustrator effects tutorial using a logo design excuse. It is actually about logo design, not force fitting a logo design into Illustrator until the purpose is lost.
And that is Content Wrting with a capital “C” and “W,” not playing keyboard monkey.
That is really an excellent glimpse into the mind of a creative individual.
If I may be so bold to ask, how do you find the resources you often leave in your posts? I belong to several newsgroups, writer lists, and follow Smashing magazine, but rarely do I see an article, such as this referenced.
This also proved my point. Although he knew how to design logos, he researched – wing shapes, clipart, the competition, and “researched” what his client (the end-user as it were) wanted and needed. I guess good writing practices also apply to good design practices.
If I may be so bold to ask, how do you find the resources you often leave in your posts?
Really nothing special to reveal. Just looking for stuff to write about. I have been writing one or two posts about such topics since putting up my site in 2002.
I often want to write some good articles but i find it is dificult, because it need your feeling if you just make some content it is bad
Maybe English is not your native tongue… I find hard to understand what you mean. Please, explain 
I agree that reference.sitepoint.com is a great resource. A few other options help too. Not that Wikipedia is always the best way to go, but a variety of people tend to review the writings there. I mentioned W3 Schools since it’s a great resource for web design newbies. Even though I’ve been doing web design for a while, I find there’s always something new to learn or cross-reference for accuracy.
