When I get to the end of writing a post I am really excited and want to just get the post out into the blog- a-sphere...
BUT
over all the years of blogging, I have learnt to curb my impatient nature and double check a few things before I publish my post.
That final moment before publishing is a chance to elevate your post from good to great. So I actually created a Pre Publish Checklist to help you slow down, double-check the essentials, and give your writing the best possible send-off.
1. TITLE : Is the Title catchy?
2. KEYWORD: Have you included a keyword or keyword phrase in the title or in the beginning of your article?
3. IMAGE: Have you included one (or more) relevant images? Have you added it's ALT Text.
4. PROOFREAD: Double check the spelling and grammar.
5. INTERNAL LINKING: Is it possible to link another one of your relevant posts to this post?
6. CALL TO ACTION: Can you include a call to action at the end?
7. REFERENCES: Can you include quality references?
8. LINKS: Check all the links.

Blogging is both art and craft—and this checklist is my way of honoring both. Whether you're a seasoned writer or just starting out, these simple steps can help you publish with confidence. If you have questions, suggestions, or your own favorite pre-publish rituals, I’d love to hear from you in the comments. Let’s keep learning from each other and making our words count.
