The real function of the Best Blog Articles, to my thinking, is to present the color and romance of the news, the most authoritative opinions on the issues and events of the day, and to chronicle promptly the developments of science as applied to daily life.

In the grind of daily life all manner of curious, heroic, delightful things turn up, and for the most part, are dismissed in a passing note. Behind every such episode are human beings and a story, and these, if fairly and artfully explained, are the very stuff of romance.
- Into every great city men are drifting daily from the strange and remote places of the world where they have survived perilous hazards and seen rare spectacles. Such adventures are the treasure troves of the skillful blog article writer.
- The cross currents and reactions that lead up to any explosion of greed or passion that we call crime are often worth following, not only for their plots, but as proofs of the pain and terror of transgression.
- Brave deeds or heroic resistances are all too seldom presented in full length in the news, and generously portrayed prove the nobility inherent in every-day life.
The broad domain of the every blog publisher – covers all that may be rare and curious or novel in the arts and sciences, in music and verse, in religion and the occult, on the stage and in sport.
Achievements and controversies are ever culminating in these diverse fields, and the men and women actors therein make admirable subjects for his pages. Provided the blog publisher is a skilled writer who has the fine art of vivid and simple exposition and of the brief personal sketch, there is nothing of human interest that may not be presented.
The ideal blog article can be described as:
A crisp, sensible review and critique of the live world. A great article writer is one who has learned that a character sketch and interview of a man makes you “see” the man face to face and talk with him yourself. If he has done anything that gives him a place in the news of to-day, he is presented to you. You know the man.
It should be written by one who thoroughly knows his subject, who is forceful in style and fluent in words, who can make a picture that his readers can see, and seeing, “realize”.
I firmly believe that the best blogs will contain articles of information without being dull or encyclopedic, articles of adventure that are real and timely, articles of scientific discoveries that are authentic, interviews with men and women who have messages, and interpretations of news and analysis of every-day themes, together with sketches, poems, and essays that are not tedious, but have a reason for being printed.
