How I’ve learned from Darren Rowse
Lists:
Can be useful in any post
Make your post more readable
Convey information more effectively
Are good for general audiences
Create extra blank space at the start and end of each line
Start with a capital letter
Should fit with the introduction title
Longer than a single sentence should always end with a full stop.
Should be consistent and items need to in end in the same way
That are Unordered use bullet points
That are Ordered use 1. 2. 3.
Ways to use lists:
At the end of the introduction, explaining what your post will cover
In the middle of the post, to break up a long section
Giving suggestions or ideas
As a Link/s to different resources
At the end of a post, to help readers decide what to do next
Don’t use too many lists (oops!)
