Mix a Story with Your Next Article

What Would Ryu Do? For those of you who may not know the best way to lead into a post, but you think you might have something to say one tool or trick of the trade (depending on how you want to look at it) would be to use a story to add some meat and potatoes to you thoughts and ideas.

Give me some content, then tell me some of the story.  Then give me more content, then give me more of the story.  This is a great way to both entertain and inform the visitors at large.  This is also extremely handy when your writing about a subject that might be a little vanilla and dull for the mass public. 

Need some help?  With your next post mix in a story about Ryu from Street Fighter fame and his trouble with buying a new pair of shoes.  (Does he even wear shoes?) 

So there is your homework for the weekend.  With the next thing you write up, tech opinion, help or how-to; try to bring a story into the mix.  It doesn’t have to be a true story, it could be a fictional character from the back of your brain.  Flesh out the weak points with him (or her) and you’ll keep your readers a ‘bit more interested in what you are trying to tell them.

Where is the Web Hosting News?

My only major complaint with the Web hosting news industry is that there isn’t one. Almost every single big source of news inside of the Web hosting industry is nothing more than a press release dump. Now I have some good friends that write these press releases, so this is nothing against them. They are playing the game along with the rest of us.

I would like to see a source come out that did real Web hosting news though and didn’t just cut and paste press releases and call it news.

I want to see people doing investigations, research and putting together facts and information. Looking around the wild and wacky world of Web hosting, these places are few and far between. Why? It is too hard, that’s why. It is cheaper to pay one guy to sit there and cut and paste than it is to hire a team of writers who can give us something a little more than just the “company line”.

So where are the real Web hosting news Web sites?
