Easy as Pie Subheads

You don't have to get complicated and fancy making subheadings. There are two main goals that you are trying to accomplish by using subheadings in your blog posts. The first is to separate the content for your reader so it looks less overwhelming to their eyes. Long blocks of text can be daunting, especially to blog readers who are looking for quick fixes of content. The second goal is to allow readers to quickly get the key concepts of the post and entice them to read further.

Separate and use the "b" for bold

Use the enter key twice after your last paragraph and then click on the "b" icon towards the left hand of the screen above the posting box. Then type in your subheading using a key concept from the paragraph to come. Click on the "b" icon again when you complete your subheading and click enter twice. Now you can continue typing as normal.

An Alternate Method

An alternate method to completing the same task is to type out the subheading and paragraphs in the normal font and then go back later and highlight the text you want in bold by holding down the left button on your mouse. Once the text is highlighted, click the "b" icon as outlined in the previous paragraph. Move your mouse away from the highlighted text and left click again. Your text will be highlighted.

Make it snazzier by adding color

You can add color to the subhead equation using either of the two methods above. Simply click on the second T (the one with the color box next to it) and choose a color when you are using the bolding. You might do this to match an accent color in your blog design or just for fun. If you are going to use color, be sure to choose a dark color for this purpose. Light colors will strain the eyes and negate the entire purpose of the subheading!

Bullet Points Page 32

You might find that having items displayed in bullet points increases the readability of your post. Bullets not only make your text more appealing to look at, it's also easier for the reader to scan quickly, which makes for a much quicker read.

Using a passage in this case would slow down the reader and anything that slows a reader down is a death knell in blogging. The reader will stop reading and click away.

Three Reasons to Love Dirt Bikes

I've been riding dirt bikes since I was little and I've learned a lot about riding them, fixing them and racing them. I am going to share everything I know about dirt bikes in this blog. For now, I'll start with the top three reasons dirt bikes are the best hobby to have.

#1 It's not very expensive to get started.
While it can get really expensive if you get really serious and start racing like I do. In the beginning you can get started for really cheap.
