Here are 5 mistakes novice bloggers should be avoided:

Congratulations are already legitimate to be a blogger. Hopefully will always feel like a blogger. But what are the mistakes of novice bloggers that are often found?

This article can help avoid some initial mistakes in creating a blog.

Here are 5 mistakes novice bloggers should be avoided:

1. Unintentional plagiarism (including photographs).

Very few legitimate bloggers plagiarize in deliberate ways.

Many beginner bloggers are unaware of what they do including the type of plagiarism.

Plagiarism applies when using any content that at first does not belong to us, be it words, photography, music, pictures, or whatever.

Many novice bloggers take pictures of the engine on Google, then store them and use them in the blog.

Yes, that includes plagiarism – even if it quotes where the web image was derived – because, of course we haven't asked the owner if it was allowed to use the image.

But there are a lot of sites that provide free images such as pixabay.com, pexels.com and so forth.

So take a moment to find out and understand the problems of plagiarism and copyright.

Learn also about Creative Commons.

What about the words used without permission? You can check to see if anyone has copied your content with Copyscape.

2. Poor background design

It is recommended to use dark background design & bright text.

Come back again about usability and readability, put aside aesthetics first.

Reading online is harder than reading books or magazines.

Using a dark background with bright text will also make it harder to read.

3. Too many sidebars

The neatly arranged design helps readers to read our blog.

Cut down on many colors, and take a lot of the white space on our blog.

The presence of white space can help direct readers ' eyes to certain content. The pictures and headlines will be more prominent.

Reduce the less-important sidebar that can interfere with the reader's attention. Simplifying the sidebar will facilitate navigation for readers.

When there are fewer items competing to get the reader's attention, the reader will be interested in what is more important...

4. Background Music Autoplay

Installing the music background automatically not only annoys and surprises the reader, but it also takes up a lot of bandwidth.

It makes loading our blog slow.

Do you want to lose readers because she can't wait for the site to load? And do you want to irritate readers for being surprised by the music in which they have an active speaker installed?

I'm sure they'll kapok and no longer interested in our blog.

5. Use of ineffective links

First, select the words in the link carefully.

When writing a blog we need to insert a link, consider how it will write that sentence and where it will be positioned most effectively.


Instead of simply linking "Click here", it will be even more effective when the link is listed as a sentence narrative or phrase.

So it helps in terms of SEO and makes more descriptive for the reader. So don't often use "click here" or even just the word "here" which is linked to another file or page, because it tends to be less effective
