My Way Of Blogging
Well, I like

• Framework
• Unity
• Structure
• Stability
• Pattern
• Order
• Template

Also, I like to begin a sentence with “Well” - like Peter Jones on “Just a Minute”.

Once I wrote an essay at school that was praised for its structure - but lacked content.

Beginning - Middle - End
Preview - Content - Summary

This is how I like it. Short and to the point.  Up to a point.

Jounalism
Not suitable for a journalist. Their work is subject to random and severe editing - from the bottom up.

So they must:-

• Capture the whole story in the first paragraph
• Second can contain a bit more detail about who and what and where why and how
• Third and subsequent paragraphs can contain more background; “colour” that can me safely lost without changing the meaning of the story.

But the headline sub often writes something that says the opposite of the story.
