I read 100s of technical articles - Here are the top mistakes I've seen

  1. 2

    The word count tip is real. I've seen lot of SaaS blogs that have extended for no reason at all.

    Thanks for sharing the tips @catalinpit! I was missing out on the images of code snippets tip. Will be using that for my blogs hence forth as well.

    The screenshots of code behavior drive me bonkers.

    I only knew a couple of them, lol. Thank you for sharing. And yes, those sentences, as long as my hair is pretty annoying. Keep it short and clear, people.

    the "word count" suggestion isn't a good one; sometimes the best technical articles are super-short. why force a cap?

      Exactly what I said. If you’d only read properly before replying...

      I said to focus on providing value, not meeting a word quota. If you can write a good article in 500 words, you don’t have to make it 2000 words just for the sake of having a long article.

      Please read to understand, not to reply.
