5 tips for writing timeless content


In the past, I had to focus on the content of the bloggers eternal. Blog post is focused on news and current events, "to cite the article as soon as possible die coming to a stop on a consistent basis.: If you write timeless content, on the other hand, people are still content has some value will read your blog in a few months or a few years, as long as after you stop writing. "
Below regardless of the topics you write your content, the more timeless for making 5 practical tips can be found at:



1. Avoid words that bring the idea of time:Yesterday, or weeks, moon, and whenever you try to avoid words like today to write about a particular subject, such representation. While reading your blog posts if the word comes from other people are more likely to be linked document into a specific time frame he, "in the summer of 2005"? Says, is a problem that you think your readers fresh content and thus worth more than that.

2. Put dates at the bottom of posts: Many blog templates and word has the date on which the post is posted right below the title in the standard design of the WordPress Themes. See if they are written a long time ago that most of the readers can read the specific post to discourage A good way to avoid these problems is to move the date to the end of the post. Do not remove the date based on the minimum time is useful because

3. Get rid of the calendar: If you wander around the blog world you can find a huge quantity of the schedule in the sidebar. Will write content, this feature is useful depends on the time you can. Readers post on a specific date and keep track of the posts in chronological order so that you will be able to find someone writing on his journey across the Sahara Desert, for example, the calendar must Most bloggers, however, does not depend on time, write about the subject. Why do not you ask yourself the first question to reap the benefits of having a calendar: "and click on a certain date, that created my readers can check?"?

4. Get rid of the monthly archives: Calendar, the same reasoning is applied to the monthly archives. The reader to search for blog posts on a monthly basis, that does not make sense (For example, if your blog for a long journey in the World Cup) Monthly archive should not be.

5. When blogging about news or current events make sure to add value:Mention all the blogs sometimes certain news or interesting events. In a few months you can not post something when you need to add any value to such a point ahead of tomorrow's leaders do not spend the whole time to read. Problems, more in-depth analysis, such as cross-references to the value you can add a comment.

Hey, nice tips, but shouldn’t it be timeless and not timesless ?

Good explanation of the previous topic you had posted. I’m going to implement #2 above myself, moving the dates down. That should also go along with your “simple” post, uncluttering the main interface a bit.
About your point number 1, I had been thinking about something similar for a while but you hit the nail nicely, and now it’s clearer. I guess we can say “once” or something similar when using an example and want to associate some kind of a time frame to it.

I can sday You’re right about the calendar, but I disagree about monthly archives. Maybe they’re not very useful for users but I think they’re useful for bot-crawlers.

Not bad. These are really good ideas. I did notice that my readers were no longer reading the pages in my older post that was located in the archives. I took the archives off and they started reading again.

This is a great post. when I read it sometime back I didn’t think much but now I see the value of it. I guess that is the beauty of timelessness? This post itself is a perfect example of timeless content.
