Top Ten Tips for Making a Blog Post Series On TheTopTens

Don't make a post series called "(username here) rant". My big brother series was very popular because it left a little bit of a legacy, therefore more people will want to be like you, and for me, being able to say that my post series inspired many other bloggers, it makes people want to read your series. And my big brother was a hug hit, inspiring users like dapperpickle, Turkeyasylum, ironsabbathpriest and puga in its first week of ending.

If you want to make a rant series, then don't do (Username here) rants. Do it something more creative, such as this random one I thought up of that I may use if I ever decide to start a rant series, "DarkenedRantality". You don't have to follow that same thing, but if your username was BigFatMomma78, you could make a series called, "Big Fat Rants! ", not saying you should do that.

This is what I try to do, but sometimes I get a bit carried away and tweak some other blog post series episodes. I think I'm improving though!

I'm not surprised to find this at number one. After all, he did make a blog pos called "Be Original! "

This is why I wouldn't put in a Master of Puppets album review, that the title track is the best song. I do not find Master of Puppets the best Metallica song in that album, and is probably one of my least favorite 80s songs due to how insanely overrated an average Metallica song is. I mean, The Four Horsemen, Phantom Lord, Seek and Destroy, Fight Fire With Fire, Ride the Lightning, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Fade to Black, Trapped Under Ice, Creeping Death, The Call of Ktulu, Battery, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Disposable Heroes, Leper Messiah, Orion, Blackened, Eye of the Beholder, One, The Frayed Ends of Sanity, To Live is to Die, and Dyers Eve are all better songs than Master of Puppets.

I feel like lots of the reality contest parody's try too hard to be funny and try to force humor way too much. To be honest, just because a character makes a religion out of Luigi, doesn't mean everyone's going to laugh.

Staying true to you can really help you express your ideas in a much better fashion.

I hate all these forced series, just write what comes into your mind.

My biggest mistake. I make a log of posts about big brother and thrash metal, but only fans of that can read it! That is why my thrash posts only get comments from ironsabbathpriest and my BB ones don't get any at all. Make it something we can all relate to.

Unfortunately that would mean I have so little original ideas to talk about.

The thing what lets down series like velitecabel rages is that he went too full on. Take a step back, especially if you are new, and take it easy. Then, maybe start to build up your series without sounding like an idiot, then you will master your series, especially for rant series.

Flame wars and complaining about opinions which lead to flame wars. Not something I'm an expert at cracking down sadly.

If you ever want to make a popular post series, make sure it's something that'll catch the average TopTenner's eye.

Why is it that my blogs, gemcloben's blogs, SuperHyperdude's blogs and the likes each stand out? It's because we each let our personalities through it, and it is that which makes us each unique bloggers. If your passion and power aren't in it, not only is it too generic, it is also dull. With that said, don't convey the same idea over and over, or others will see the writer, and not just the blogs themselves, as those qualities.

I hate it when I get half way through a blog and forget who wrote it. I need to read a blog, without reading the username and know exactly who wrote it.

Not always a good idea. If you really want to shine, refer to something that a general audience member can understand. Newcomers to this site may not understand things that go on on TheTopTens; for all they know, this is just another blog, by just another rando with internet access. Refer to something that has left a big impact and/or legacy in the outside world, and more people will be intrigued by the discussion.

Include a little references, maybe to users wars, personality traits of certain users and things like that, or else our usernames are just words instead of us.

I have posts (like my sleep-deprived ones) which take less than an hour, and then others like my debate one which took days. Really, go with what you feel like writing because I'm a huge believer that you can't create something good that you don't want to do.

I used to write posts every day, but I've come to notice my better episodes of blog post series aren't rushed. And if you're startinto decline, just take a break. Most of my better episodes of TDA: TTT were made right after a break or hiatus.

I am a very impatient writer, but my posts are rushed. Users like positronwildhawk take weeks.

But don't procrastinate! I wish I could stay true to that more often!

Keep calm, and do not to angry. Sure, genuine passion helps, but try to keep as professional as you can while still getting your point across. That is how I made room 101.

That is a thing. I didn't write any HQ post or didn't send anyone message about it. But still I get some comments. Even if I don't get any comment still I won't send a single message to users to see my list (except if its too emergency or serious case).

Because then you'll sound like a telemarketer.

Despite having a personal standpoint, my post on the death penalty looked at every point from each side. Writing that definitely helped strengthen my skill to look at the whole picture rather than my opinions.

A good rant series looks at both sides instead of just whining on. It gets boring and repetitive.
