In this episode of Blogging for Programmers, I am going to cover two specific things. A bit about picking a title, particularly the use of clickbait titles that don’t tell you anything but also targeting the right audience when you are blogging about topics that can have more than one meaning, especially due to vendor differences.

Key Points

  • Write about what makes you feel good.
  • Overbroad clickbait titles can attract attention but let down the reader
  • Understanding your audience is crucial for effective communication.
  • Use terminology that resonates with your target audience.
  • Avoid misleading titles that frustrate readers.
  • Engage with topics you are passionate about.
  • Clarify who your content is for and who it is not for.
  • Variety in writing can enhance engagement and interest.
  • Technical writing should be accessible and clear.
  • Your writing should be enjoyable, not a chore.
