Let's get straight into it:Visual- People like looking at interesting images so why not add to your blogg by adding one picture which would sum up what you are saying or intrigue someone to read what you have to say. Flickr and iStockphotos have some great photos however you may need to pay to use them so Wikipedia images (from my understanding) is free of royalties so you may want to have a little look or get creative and use some of your own.
Heading- Sometimes people try and get too creative with their slogans, taglines and I would say the same for headings. As this would be the first thing your readers would read before deciding to continue I would suggest making it clear and to the point.
Audience- I know a lot of people are technology savvy and can understand the new terms and jargon of the Internet however many also aren't (needless to say I am one) so by adding a link or definition will help those like me understand what you are talking about and in turn expand your range of auidence.
Layout- As your viewers would be looking at a computer screen and can strain the eyes I would suggest using a lot of spacing so it is easier to read and follow.
Topic- Stay on one topic. Try not to get off track and start new points in the same post. It may confuse or even bore your reader so if you would like to make a different point make a new post.
The list wasn't written in order of importance but to create an acronym which will help remember my tips better- VHALT- I hope they help :)
