How do you define a "good" blog post?
In my opinion, length doesn't matter. As long as you prove your point well and get your point across, you have a good blog post, even if it is only three sentences long. And let's face it: no one wants to read a five-paragraph blog post. Vocabulary and grammar are important for more formal blog posts, but they shouldn't be huge factors that drastically influence a person's grade for a blog post (this is the internet, after all, and shorthand is used very frequently). In addition, good blog posts aren't cliffhangers; they don't leave you wondering "What did they mean by that?" or "I still don't get it." They should leave the reader thinking "Wow, I get it now!" A 3-point blog post meetsall this criteria, while a 2-point blog post doesn't quite match up to this criteria. They may leave the viewer thinking "I kind of see their point, but I'm still a bit confused." 1-point blog posts don't answer the original question and they don't get the point across. 0-pont blog posts are almost non-existant. Unless the post is completely off-topic, the fact that a person simply stated their point should earn them a 1. Again, blog posts aren't formal works of writing and should not be treated as such.
