Gr8 post, Drew… unlike the one I read just before 😇. I get your point that sites like Medium have democratized design, but nonetheless, to paraphrase Paul Simon
there’s still … 50 ways to butcher your blog post
- jam too much verbiage into the title
- choose a poor / irrelevant / no cover image
- sloppy punctuation
- sloppy grammar
- crappy content
- not making use of the full available toolset, like indented quotes, bulleting, 😎’s, hyperlinking — due to laziness or lack of imagination
All the king’s horses, all the king’s men, all the fancy typography in the world cannot compensate for shit writing.
