Is Your Blog a Steak or a Shish Kabob

More pearls of wisdom from the Geek Dinner. Is your blog shish kabob or steak? Jeremiah Owyang is coco for kabobs, meaning "Cut up your meat for your readers, make it easy to read by."

* Shorten everything.
* Separate content into easy simple 'chunks'.
* Format the text, making it easy to scan.
* Put the most important stuff in titles.
* Use visual stimuli to draw the eye between the meat (images, indentations, quotes).
* Reduce and boil it down.

In the "Priceless" words of Peyton Manning in one of his Mastercard commercials, "Cut that meat! Cut that meat!"

The FBA (Federal Blog Association) recommends a diet comprised of a variety of foods...steak, kabob, salad, two shakes and a sensible meal.

Seriously...Jeremiah is right, but having only one item on the menu is not a good idea either.

Oh, and your ingredients better be fresh! If the content sucks, it doesn't matter how long or short..cubed or sliced...you get the idea.

Now I'm hungry.

The FBA also reccomends that consuming one glass of red wine a day may promote a healthy lifestyle.

If that's true, who in the blogosphere is glass of red wine?

If I want a steak, I'll download a whitepaper.

Here's to the blogkabobs.
