Research political blogs

Writing a blog
Format
A blog post must have a title as well as the date, time and writer details. It need to be set out like a real web page, with the address bar and other features such as archive, share and subscribe. Remember that a blog is a public, interactive space, so invite readers to leave commenbts at the end.

Conventions

• An eye-catching title, for example, "You don't know me - until now".
• Write in the first person, "I".
• Use an informal style
• Use short sentence and catchy phrases to grab your readers' attention.
