Top Tools that You Can Use in Writing a Blog Post

Thinking of what to post next on your blog is a hard task. You need to consider many things, and be creative. But writing the post itself is even harder. As a blogger, you need to be good in writing to create a better content for your blog. And if your blog has good content, then it will definitely attract more readers.

Aside from good writing skill, you can also improve your blog posts by some useful tools. Right now, I’ll list the top tools that I use in writing a blog post that you can use, too.

1. Microsoft Word 2007. Microsoft’s Office software is indeed a great tool for bloggers/writers. I found it very useful in writing a blog post because of its grammar-checker tool. Yeah, I’m no good in English but I am eager to be good in English. Microsoft Word’s grammar-checker tool warns you if you have a wrong grammar in a phrase or sentence by putting a green line below it. It even gives you the right structure of the wrong phrase/sentence that you entered.
2. Encarta Dictionaries. Microsoft Encarta is a virtual encyclopedia in your PC. Encarta Dictionaries is included in the pack, and it’s awesome. In writing a blog post, simple words are good, right? But nicer words than simple are better. I use Encarta Dictionaries to find a better synonym of a specific word to make my post more like a professionally written blog post!
3. Google Trends. So you want to write an SEO-related post? Then use Google Trends. Google Trends tells you what web users search for and the most active keywords. SEO contains different complicated stuffs (website optimization, link-building, etc.) which are not easy to learn. So if you want to write a blog post that you want to optimize for search engines, then Google Trends is a nice tool for you.

I love blogging. Why? Because it makes my English vocabulary better. And it is a big “plus” in conquering the real world.

I hope these three tools may help you to improve your writing abilities, even just a little.
