The Look And Feel of Your Poker Blog Is Important – Yes, it may not be as important as the content of your poker blog but it can still contribute a lot to the overall effect of your poker blog. Make sure that your poker blog is easy to navigate. A lot of your would-be-readers – especially the old ones who are still not used to the fancy dandy magic of the Internet – would have the patience to look for the button that would let them access your previous entries. Secondly, make sure that your poker blog isn’t too heavily loaded with graphics because it could turn off prospective readers who don’t have DSL or broadband Internet connections.
The Content of Your Poker Blog Matters Most – You do know why there’s a saying that advises us not to judge the book by its cover, don’t you? That’s because with a book, or with anything else for that matter, it’s what’s inside that counts? Twist that a little and you’ll get a saying that tells you that a book with a beautiful cover is nothing if its contents suck. And the same thing goes with poker blogs. Even if you have a great layout that utilizes Flash Macromedia and other fancy computer animation tricks, if the content of your poker blog is not up to par with its appearance, you can certainly bet your dollar that the number of visitors your poker blog has would dwindle day after day.
Content always matter and if you’re clueless about what to write about in your poker blog, here are a few tips. Ask any writer and they’ll always tell you to write about something you know. I’ll add something to that and that’s to also write about what you feel. If you’re still new to the poker scene and have no invaluable lessons to impart to the great poker community you’re now a part of, that’s okay. That certainly doesn’t mean the end of the world to your poker blog. Rather, why not write about how you felt during your first online poker match? Write about all the silly mistakes you committed. I can tell you now that a lot of your readers would be able to connect to that because once in their lives, they were also calling stations like you. Oh, you don’t know what a calling station is? Now I know you truly have a lot to learn. A calling station is the name used for inexperienced poker players like you - which gives me another idea. Maybe, you can also make an entry in your poker blog that lists the words that confuse the heck out of you but seem to make sense to veteran poker players.
