Mindy McAdams shares tips about blogging.

Mindy McAdams stressed that all journalism students should know how to blog — and should have an active blog — by the time they graduate. That’s because most who are going to be hired for a newspaper job are expected to know how to blog.

Here are some tips about writing for blogs:

• Short posts are good.
• Short paragraphs are good (easy to read)
• Do not be “too” complete.
• Do not write like you “know it all.”
• Include readers — do not exclude them.
• Find an appropriate tone.
