This is Tyree from Website Muscle going through our top ten must-dos for good blog posts.\u00a0Number three is bullets and numbered lists.<\/p>\n<h2>Bullets and Numbered Lists<\/h2>\n<p>This video is going to be a short one because there&#8217;s not a ton to say. It&#8217;s super important for readability and scannability for you to break up the content with bullet points and numbered lists, and\/or numbered lists, whichever you prefer.<\/p>\n<h3>Scannability is Key<\/h3>\n<p>Bullet points and numbered lists, like our headings and subheadings from video number two, have a higher chance of being read than standard copy because they stand out, people don&#8217;t read, they scan. And it breaks the content up into nice, bite-sized pieces.<\/p>\n<p>The exception to this rule is if you are overusing these methods. If you use bullet points constantly, then it&#8217;s not going to have the desired effect of improving readability and highlighting important information.<\/p>\n<p>So be smart, sprinkle them throughout your posts, use them sparingly but strategically to highlight important information and it will help your users read your posts better.
