What I’ve Learned
Titles
“What I’ve Learned” is a title. Titles are important to a post. They should be descriptive. And they should be easy to understand! But a title isn’t enough…
Headings
See how a heading breaks up the content of a post? Your eyes go directly to a heading when you first look at a post. You see the headings and you understand at a glance that:
- Headings are like titles for individual sections.
- Headings divide the content into manageable parts.
Note: The above is easy to read because it is set apart using an unordered list. And, this is a note. You should immediately realize that something important is written here. It is in bold text!
Lists
First I like to introduce a list with some text. Then I like to start a list with a partial statement followed by a colon. The following is an ordered list. An ordered list:
- Uses numbers to define a sequence.
- Makes a statement about the order in which something occurs.
- Shows how many of a thing there are in a list of things.
Notes
An explanatory note can also be useful. Usually they are put at the end of a post. They might explain something about the post or they may be about the author. They may be used to thank someone who was helpful. Or they may cite references. Explanatory notes are generally in italics.
