Language:
I want to use language that’s not too informal,
but I don’t want it to be too ‘chatty’ either – I want it to sound familiar/friendly
but not too intrusive.
I could use puns within my article or the
article’s heading to draw in readers – I could perhaps use some goofy fonts to
emphasize certain features to perhaps maintain the joke-like article. I want to
use a wide range of both vocabulary and punctuation in my articles and my
titles so that it can create a sense of variety within my work.
