Web texts editing: bold your key words term to increase the scannability of your articles
A trick I read in a Sun Microsystems article
79% of web readers scan pages instead of reading them word-for-word. How to increase the scannability of your blog's posts? By bolding the key term of each paragraphs. This is an editing trick for web texts that I read in an article of Sun Microsystems.
It's a really simple and evident thing to do when you think about it. So, I'll start to apply the principle in my posts. The bold key words will be an addition to the new Technorati tags I added to each of my posts. Then my readers will be able to find where in the text these tags refer.
I wish that this new editing trick will be helpful to my readers. Personally I think that the text is really simpler to read. Now we know, in a second, what the post is about by reading the title, sub title and bold terms. Do you have the same feeling? Do you think that this is a good addition and will be helpful for you? Please leave me your feelings about it! The principle will be better with time because I'll learn how to spot and bold the best terms.
So enjoy it and share your feelings about it!
