The more time I spend with words, the more I realize that they’re not just flat characters that live on the page (or the screen.) Instead, words create three-dimensional objects and settings that can be viewed from different angles, perspectives, and through various lenses. Translation : What you write might look/sound/feel one way to you, but could, in fact, come across totally different to your readers.

Search engine optimization (SEO) used to be defined by the number of keywords and keyword synonyms across your website’s content. When Google launched its knowledge graph , SEO shifted away from simply relying on keywords, and search engine crawlers began prioritizing rich snippets and entities on search engine results pages ( SERPs ). These days, Google has more systems to identify the true meaning of keyword searches and queries.

Is your creativity fizzling rather than sizzling? Hate that feeling. Your creative spark can be an elusive thing. You can be on a roll, writing like there’s no tomorrow with ideas flowing all over the place. Or, creative ideas are non-existent and you’re just…uninspired. This can be especially true when it comes to writing a blog post. It’s easy to fall into a formulaic routine, without thinking of how to approach it in a different, super creative way.

For a tiny word, “of” causes a lot of trouble. It pops up where it doesn’t belong in sentences like “I should of known.” It baffles even word-savvy users in expressions like “too big of a deal.” And it has an uncanny power to promote wordy, inefficient prose. If you grew up speaking English, you never really had to learn “of.” Unlike “photosynthesis” or “gerrymander” or “noun” or any other word that teachers actively teach, “of” is so fundamental to the language that we can use it intuitively al

Here's a mistake I've seen several times lately; using a semicolon instead of a colon in a sentence like this. Colons can introduce information, sort of like a drumroll. I saw what you were doing: nothing at all. Semicolons separate complete clauses — units that could stand alone as sentences. Joe has many fine qualities; courage isn't one of them. You could just as easily break those two clauses into separate sentences.
