GRADING WEIGHTS
Wait until you have a full draft done to go through the checklist for edits—you will complete most of these steps naturally in the early creative phases; they’re not that scary.

WHICH IS STRONGER?
HEADER EXAMPLES
BLOG (OPTIONAL)
BLOG
No recipes, celebrity gossip, fashion tips, wedding obsession, fandom, child-rearing, crafts, hobbies, etc. (imply distractions from work).
Nothing negative about yourself (e.g., “I’m not a social media expert.“). Nothing unprofessional (e.g., “This is the first time I’ve written a blog/made
a web site/tweeted”). Nothing about your social media addiction
(e.g., “I’m on social media all day long”). Nothing boring or self-centered Nothing controversial (e.g., religious, political, unless it reflects leadership). Nothing too personal (e.g., “I have two cats and my brother’s in rehab.”). When in doubt, ask the questions: “Does this content represent me as an expert in my field?” Could this web content contribute to an employer’s bottom line or
knowledge of his or her field?”
