The topics I blog about are important- at least to me.  A good portion of the stories we blog about are relavent, if not important, whether it be saving oceanic coral reefs or  the national debt. It is important to be concise and get your point across, in case you have noticed; thats what this blog provides, a platform to improve your writting, connect with others and express yourself. I think snippets are a very good thing to put in your posts, though not critical. For me the snippet anchors my posts, it drives home the main point of the article, or in some cases injects that little bit of intrests or shock value needed.

    I have been posting about issues that catch my attention, like the national debt, what is news worthy and scientific research. Next week I hope I can find another interesting article to blog about. I don't know if I would classify my posts as 'really good' but then again I never really classify any of my writing as 'really good'. However, one of my goals this year is to get to the point where I consider all of my writing 'really good'
