Some are brilliant and some mind-numbingly bad. But most blogs are simply mediocre, with a huge percentage read by very few.\u00a0 Fortunately most farm blogs don&#8217;t fall into this category.\u00a0 There is strength in a diversity of rural voices &#8211; people writing from a wide variety of industries, backgrounds, and personalities.\u00a0 So it&#8217;s great to see increasing numbers having a go.<\/p>\n<h3>Tips for writing a good blog:<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s pointless writing what has already been covered by every second man and his dog.\u00a0 Ideally what you write is different, interesting, thought-provoking and\/or funny.\u00a0 And well written.\u00a0 But give it a burl.\u00a0 The only failure is the failure to try, and practice really does get you closer to perfection.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Write about what you&#8217;re passionate about.\u00a0<\/strong> Enthusiasm is infectious.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stick to what you know.<\/strong> Properly research any gaps in your knowledge.\u00a0 Or you&#8217;ll look like an ass, and worse, broadcast misinformation which is spread and perpetuated by others way into the future.<\/li>\n<li>Difficult as this can be to accept (especially if you were born in the middle of your family), remember <strong>it&#8217;s impossible to please everyone<\/strong>.\u00a0 As my school drama teacher pointed out to us, being obsessed with how you&#8217;re perceived by others is actually narcissistic and arrogant.\u00a0 And if there isn&#8217;t a risk that someone will disagree with what you&#8217;ve written, it&#8217;s probably so mundane it&#8217;s pointless.<\/li>\n<li>On the other hand,<strong> if you have absolutely <em>no<\/em> concern about the impact of your words on others (from friends and family to complete strangers), you probably shouldn&#8217;t be writing publicly.<\/strong> Moderation is the key.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ALWAYS keep your eye on the end result you&#8217;re aiming for<\/strong>, at least when revising what you&#8217;ve written. Ultimately, what do you want your words to achieve?\u00a0 Do you want to prompt other people to think about an angle they haven&#8217;t thought of before, broadcast some facts others are overlooking, correct misinformation, help other people (this blog post), and\/or make people laugh?\u00a0 For many years one of my fundamental aims has been to inspire kids who have grown up in cities to give working in the bush a go. \u00a0 If there&#8217;s only one aim of your blog, simply to say what you feel like saying, then it probably should be kept private.\u00a0 In this case write the blog post &#8211; all writing is good practice, and sometimes cathartic &#8211; but leave it as a draft (unpublished).\u00a0 In summary &#8211; when revising your blog post, think<strong> &#8220;why would someone want to read this&#8221;?\u00a0 What&#8217;s in it for them?<\/strong>\u00a0 Being self-obsessed is the most common mistake made by people on social media, generally.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s always a good idea to leave what you&#8217;ve written overnight and re-read it before making it public.<\/strong> And if it&#8217;s an especially tricky topic, leaving it a few days or weeks is better still.\u00a0 You&#8217;ll be more likely to pick up typos and think of better ways to word what you&#8217;ve written. But most importantly, you have a chance to moderate the tone before releasing it into the world.<\/li>\n<li>Writing in anger is fine.\u00a0 It can help get anger out and crystalise reasoning.\u00a0 But<strong> sending comments into the public sphere while you&#8217;re still red-hot angry is fraught with risk.<\/strong>\u00a0 Delay, as above, and tone down as necessary.\u00a0 What impression will a complete stranger get when they read your words?\u00a0 If you&#8217;re mad with rage, they&#8217;ll probably just see anger, and your message will be lost.\u00a0 Twitter has revealed how many famous people, politicians etc haven&#8217;t yet figured this out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Copyright.<\/strong> Don&#8217;t ever repeat what someone else has written, unless you&#8217;ve made it clear you&#8217;re quoting them in the context of what you&#8217;ve written.\u00a0 Use quotation marks plus their full name, and preferably a website link.<\/li>\n<li><strong>If you&#8217;re quoting someone in a way that is at all negative<\/strong>, ensure your facts are verifiable and 100% accurate.\u00a0 And don&#8217;t take comments out of context. Avoid being pollyanna if you want to be taken seriously, but don&#8217;t be vitriolic.\u00a0 Because it could come back to bite you. Either by like-returned-for-like or a defamation lawsuit.\u00a0 Think &#8220;would I like someone quoting me in this way?&#8221; However I&#8217;m certainly <em>not<\/em> advocating avoiding tricky issues or letting crook things someone else has written go unchallenged.\u00a0 That&#8217;s no way to make the world a better place, and it&#8217;d be a case of &#8216;do as I say not as I do&#8217; (much laughter)!\u00a0 But only grab snakes by the tail, carefully.<\/li>\n<li>Ideas can&#8217;t be copyrighted.\u00a0 However <strong>flogging other people&#8217;s ideas and passing them off as your own,<\/strong> will be picked up by the perceptive.\u00a0 Especially if it&#8217;s a habit. And you&#8217;ll simply look like someone who is not only completely unoriginal, but also untrustworthy.\u00a0 (There is a person gathering other people&#8217;s ideas for newspaper articles at present, and yes many people have noticed.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Rural blogs written by &#8220;agvocates&#8221;:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t help perpetuate two-dimensional farmer stereotpyes.\u00a0<\/strong> These include education levels (little schooling), music tastes (country music loving), vehicle driving (everyone has a late-model 4WD), hobbies (pig shooting &amp; fishing), conservation (environmental vandals), clothing (everyone in the bush wears a felt hat) or silver-spooners (inherited wealth and have to work very little).\u00a0 And last but not least, hands-on farming as something that only blokes do not women or girls (there&#8217;s a surprising number of blogs and twitter accounts run by women who describe themselves as being a wife of a farmer.\u00a0 Can you imagine blokes describing themselves thus?)\u00a0 Yes some of those things might fit you but if you highlight them, you&#8217;re emphasising these aspects and feeding a general public perception that&#8217;s unlikely to be positive.\u00a0 Instead encourage the impression of diversity, as that&#8217;s the reality, and encourage people to question their presumptions.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t whine, because as above, you&#8217;ll just be feeding another farmer stereotype many people unfortunately have.\u00a0<strong> Yes point out problems, but in a factual manner, and only if possible solutions are also included.\u00a0<\/strong> I.e. be constructive. If you sing &#8220;poor bugger me&#8221; and display an &#8220;I deserve, because I am a farmer&#8221; mentality, don&#8217;t expect sympathy from people working and commuting long hours and struggling to raise a family and pay off the family home mortgage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Think carefully about how your &#8220;bio&#8221; is worded<\/strong>, with the above in mind.\u00a0 Your intended audience may be other farmers but if your bio and blog are online anyone can read it. What is a tongue-in-cheek joke amongst bushies can be completely misunderstood by readers from outside the industry, and taken as a &#8216;whingeing cocky&#8217; comment, etc.\u00a0 Or get up the nose of others working in agriculture. Something I disagree with very strongly is &#8220;4th generation farmer&#8221; type statements.\u00a0 While it may be explained away as a statement of pride, it comes across as a basic boast of &#8220;I&#8217;m special&#8221;.\u00a0 Think carefully about why someone sees fit to mention the activities of their ancestors, when describing themselves.\u00a0 And potentially, how would such a public statement make people new to farming feel?\u00a0 Ultimately I believe everyone should be valued on their own achievements not that of their forebears, whose efforts cannot be claimed by the current generation.\u00a0 Inheriting land or other assets is something to feel privately very grateful for, not something to publicly crow about. And it pays to remember that knowledge and skills cannot be inherited, only learned.\u00a0 Two of the very best farmers I have met, grew up in Sydney and launched into farming when adults.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remember most small businesses share similar headaches.<\/strong>\u00a0 If you&#8217;re unaware of this, it&#8217;s time you started listening to your local businesspeople.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid insulting other rural industries.<\/strong>\u00a0 If it&#8217;s not a field you work in you will not know the full story. I&#8217;m still gobsmacked that a part-time cattle producer from Victoria thought it was clever to write a blog post stating Australia&#8217;s live export industry should end. It was written by someone who didn&#8217;t know anything about northern Australia&#8217;s beef industry and they were not even reliant on a farm income themselves as they had a full-time off-farm job in a nearby town.\u00a0 But because it was written by someone in regional Australia, self-described as a farmer, animal rights activists siezed it and held it up as an example that farmers themselves thought live exports should be banned.\u00a0 (It was another reminder that many unfamiliar with Australian agriculture believe all farmers are the same, whether they are cattle producers or salad growers, in Tasmania or Tennant Creek.\u00a0 And while some may know this is not the case, they&#8217;ll pretend otherwise if it suits their destructive agenda.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>If you have misgivings about another rural industry, ask (tactful) questions publicly and discuss\/comment privately.<\/strong> Same goes for criticising a rural blog post &#8211; if commenting publicly, do so very diplomatically.\u00a0 Try to find something positive to say as well, and be constructive.\u00a0 If the conversation is getting pointier, do it privately.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t help people intent on finding fault with Australian agriculture, by publicly brawling.\u00a0 And don&#8217;t embarrass people who have their heart in the right place, by savaging them publicly.\u00a0 (Unfortunately, seen it in action &#8211; and by people who should know better.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Photos used in farm blogs:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Must be good quality. By &#8220;good quality&#8221; I DON&#8217;T mean <em>technical<\/em> excellence.\u00a0 Who cares if you can count every hair on the dog&#8217;s back.\u00a0 What I mean is <em>message<\/em> excellence.\u00a0 <strong>Does the photo convey what you want to say? Is it moving or memorable?<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid using photos that reinforce farmer stereotypes<\/strong> (as referred to above).<\/li>\n<li>Ensure there is absolutely <strong>no room for the photo subject matter to be misinterpreted by people with negative agendas<\/strong>.\u00a0 When in doubt, leave it out.<\/li>\n<li>It is a good idea to <strong>watermark all photos uploaded onto the internet<\/strong>, to help discourage illegal copying.\u00a0 A copyright symbol won&#8217;t stop people stealing, but it does encourage people to think twice about doing it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chase up any theft of photos (or text), never ignore it.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to respond to queries and people who disagree with what you have written in a blog:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Answer politely. <strong>Never sneer at someone&#8217;s lack of knowledge or treat people with disdain because they&#8217;re asking you a question you deem to be &#8216;dumb&#8217;.\u00a0<\/strong> (Unfortunately, I&#8217;ve seen this quite often.) From the outset show respect for others and you&#8217;ll be far more likely to receive it in return.\u00a0 Society needs people working in all kinds of jobs, and most people are just beavering away trying to do the best they can, regardless of their field of employment.\u00a0 Yes farming does have some unique aspects, but many people genuinely don&#8217;t understand these differences.<\/li>\n<li><strong>People who aren&#8217;t farmers are <em>customers<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t offend people from the get-go, who are putting money into your bank account.\u00a0 This doesn&#8217;t mean you have to accept garbage flung at you; don&#8217;t fall for the old line &#8220;customers are always right,&#8221; because some really are died-in-the-wool idiots.\u00a0 However it&#8217;s best to ignore the clowns rather than succumb to the urge to provide a public character reference.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cull some words from your vocabularly if appropriate.<\/strong>\u00a0 &#8220;City slickers&#8221; should be the first to go. It has insulting overtones, on a par with &#8220;redneck&#8221;.\u00a0 &#8220;City residents&#8221; is one of the terms I use regularly &#8211; strictly factual, with no subtly derisive meaning attached.\u00a0 I was greatly entertained recently when an animal rights extremist tried to offend me by saying what would I know about the bush, since I lived in town.\u00a0 Maintaining a sense of humour is vital re the silly, uninformed comments some people make.\u00a0 (It&#8217;s surprising how many won&#8217;t bother reading a one-sentence long bio, before investing effort into jumping to the wrong conclusion.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>If you haven&#8217;t learned the skill of resisting the urge to be instantly defensive when someone queries something you&#8217;ve said, learn it.<\/strong> Learn to be your own best judge (especially vital for anyone working in creative fields &#8211; art, writing etc.)\u00a0 <em>Relying<\/em> on the views of others is a major mistake.\u00a0 Without a shield of defensiveness, you can genuinely consider what is being said, pick out any useful comments and ditch the chaff.\u00a0 Very often, insults come from verandah-sitters whose major talent is rock-throwing.\u00a0 Sometimes you&#8217;ll be listening to someone who is pointing out something really useful that you hadn&#8217;t thought of; but do be careful to not end up as a voluntary stress-relief target for someone lacking self-awareness.\u00a0 Conversely, if you make a genuinely constructive comment that is thoughtfully and diplomatically worded, and it&#8217;s received with animosity &#8211; it illustrates the recipient&#8217;s level of\u00a0 insecurity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Often a lack of understanding is at the heart of a disagreement. Some causes of misunderstandings:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>If you don&#8217;t already know most men and women communicate quite differently, get busy observing<\/strong>. It&#8217;s especially easy to see in written communication, and like all personality traits, it&#8217;s accentuated in a short messaging service like Twitter. Many men find women&#8217;s communication style too &#8216;fluffy&#8217; and many women find men too direct.\u00a0 There have been terminal meltdowns amongst rural women&#8217;s online forums and facebook groups due to clashing communication styles, lack of acceptance of differing views, perceived insults and grudge-bearing &#8211; amongst a small number of participants.\u00a0 In stark contrast, most blokes are slow to take offence and can have far pithier conversations &#8211; and still remain on good terms.\u00a0 When emailing, I always want to know whether I&#8217;m speaking to a woman or a man, because replies are written differently to each.\u00a0 If it&#8217;s &#8220;Chris&#8221; or another name used by both men and women,\u00a0 I can usually guess whether it&#8217;s a man or woman by what they&#8217;ve written.<\/li>\n<li>Some think there isn&#8217;t a lot of sexism about these days but it&#8217;s just more subtle.\u00a0 There are interesting statistics on book readership.\u00a0 Generally, women will read books written by anyone whose writing they like. Blokes tend to read books written by blokes, not women.\u00a0 Hence it&#8217;s not uncommon for female authors in some genres to just use their first initial, not full first name. \u00a0<strong>This difference is likely to be the case for blogs, too.<\/strong>\u00a0 Many blokes read my blog, but I&#8217;m told I tend to be blunt (much laughter, surely not?)\u00a0 A woman who is blunt is noticed and described as such, though likely to be much less so than the average man.<\/li>\n<li>There are signification written<strong> communication differences between nationalities.\u00a0<\/strong> Eg Australians tend to combine a sense of humour with serious points, which Irish and UK residents understand, but Americans can find puzzling.\u00a0 However as most Australian farm blogs are written with an Australian readership in mind, it&#8217;s not a complication that usually has to be borne in mind.<\/li>\n<li>There are <strong>significant differences in experience and circumstances between remote northern Australian cattlemen\/women and farmers in closely settled southern farming regions.\u00a0<\/strong> These differences quite often cause friction within the farming community on twitter, facebook pages and blogs.\u00a0 (See point above, regarding not presuming to understand someone else&#8217;s situation unless you&#8217;re thoroughly familiar with their industry, specific region and current headaches.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to deal with people who are very angry or nasty (trolls):<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rule number one:\u00a0 stay calm<\/strong>.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t ever react in anger.\u00a0 (As above &#8211; write a response whenever you like, but don&#8217;t send it until you&#8217;ve cooled down).\u00a0 Took me years to learn this. Finally have it more or less mastered.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do think objectively about whether what the critic is saying has any merit at all.<\/strong>\u00a0 Have you overlooked something, or accidentally greatly offended someone by the way you&#8217;ve worded an opinion?\u00a0 If so, clarify &#8211; calmly &#8211; and apologise if appropriate.\u00a0 But then dismiss whatever doesn&#8217;t have a grain of truth in it.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t take rubbish hurled at you, personally.\u00a0 Some people don&#8217;t accept genuine apologies or explanations. Always remember that&#8217;s their choice to stay angry, and their problem, not yours.<\/li>\n<li>Remember it&#8217;s likely that <strong>someone who is madly insulting and repeatedly trying to provoke a reaction, probably has significant issues.\u00a0<\/strong> It could be something short term (eg they may be under financial\u00a0 or personal relationship stress) or it could be long term (personality type).\u00a0 Don&#8217;t spell this out (it&#8217;ll only wind up their spring tighter), but the best thing to do is feel sorry for someone in this situation.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t take mad insults personally and don&#8217;t respond to their provocations, let them fall on deaf ears.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Zealots have a particular type of personality,<\/strong> leading them to obsess about one particular issue and remain resolutely impervious to the presentation of facts proving their view incorrect. It is absolutely a waste of time and valuable energy engaging with people who fall into this category.\u00a0 Acknowledging their response may be appropriate (eg; &#8220;interesting view, but it&#8217;s doubtful we will ever agree so discussion is probably not a good investment in time and energy for either of us&#8221;), but then leave it at that. It&#8217;ll be clear to anyone who comes along and reads the conversation thread that you&#8217;ve said your bit, politely, then shut the door. \u00a0 It takes two people to have a fight, and having an ongoing public disagreement just ends up reflecting badly on both parties.\u00a0 Typical causes zealots latch onto include: animal rights extremism, veganism, politics, religion (self-proclaimed atheists tend to be far more sanctimonious &amp; scathing than any religious believers) and advocating for refugees.\u00a0 You may encounter someone who is on<em> all<\/em> those bandwagons (some are on twitter, and squeeze the whole list into their 160 character bio).\u00a0 Interestingly, most people who are obsessed with conservation can still engage in constructive conversations.\u00a0 Conservation zealots are actually scarce &#8211; which is a fortunate thing for the world&#8217;s environment, because a collaborative, inclusive approach gets positive results.<\/li>\n<li>I have difficulty responding politely to fanatics and find it&#8217;s impossible for me to do on many days. After many years, finally I have learned the discipline to simply delete such comments, although some of the crazier ones I have filed as curiosities.\u00a0 Developing a workable strategy to deal with what you find difficult, is important.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Blogs and anonymity:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Anonymous comments have little weight.<\/strong>\u00a0 On sensitive topics (eg mental health, financial stress) remaining anonymous is completely understandable (in order to protect friends, family and oneself).\u00a0 But as much as possible, be completely identifiable yourself so your words have much greater impact, and encourage others to do likewise when writing a blog or commenting on someone else&#8217;s.\u00a0 The world population runs to billions and paranoia about a disgruntled reader turning up on your doorstep is misplaced.\u00a0 Have courage in your convictions.<\/li>\n<li>Needless to say, people tend to behave in a much more civil fashion when they are clearly identifiable. <strong>Having a policy on your blog (or public Facebook page) stating &#8220;comments from people who are not fully identified will not be accepted\/published&#8221;<\/strong> automatically gives you an unarguable reason to delete anonymous troll comments.\u00a0 Be aware that if someone else is defamed by a commenter on your blog, and you don&#8217;t remove the comment from public view, you can be deemed liable.\u00a0 As the blog owner, you are responsible for your own words and the comments of others that you are able to remove.<\/li>\n<li>My website is more than ten years old. Because I already work long hours and am required to be away from home at times, often without regular internet access, my blog has never been open to public comments.\u00a0<strong> I simply don&#8217;t have the time to moderate it.<\/strong>\u00a0 However people do send me blog comments via my website.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve also had enough insults sent to me, since day dot, to know that a lot of moderating would be required if my blog was open for public comments.\u00a0 I really wish I had more time, because <em><strong>discussion comments on blogs often end up being more interesting and useful than the blog that precipitated the conversation.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>A great blog post is a catalyst for further discussion.<\/li>\n<li>Until fairly recently, it was easy to comment on a blog anonymously.\u00a0 Thankfully now most blogs and forums require commenters to confirm their identity by providing a link to another source of identity verification &#8211; i.e. their own website or a social media account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How often should I write a blog post and how long should a blog post be?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><\/strong>Self-described social media &#8220;experts&#8221; have all sorts of theories about how often you should post on blogs, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.\u00a0 I ignore most of this theory. Because for starters, <strong>there&#8217;s actually very, very few &#8220;social media experts&#8221; who are walking the talk!\u00a0<\/strong> Would you take driving advice from someone who doesn&#8217;t have a drivers licence?\u00a0 I think not!\u00a0 My view is, think about all social media from a reader&#8217;s point of view.\u00a0 Just say something when you have something worth saying, that others will think is worth reading.\u00a0 If you have a run of topics, then write lots.\u00a0 If there&#8217;s a bit of a drought, then stay silent.\u00a0 If what you&#8217;re writing about isn&#8217;t particularly time sensitive, you can stagger publication to even out timing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How long should a blog post be?<\/strong> Again &#8220;social media expert&#8221; theorising abounds.\u00a0 But think about how much you like to read, and what you like to read.\u00a0 Obviously a couple of paragraphs is quick and easy.\u00a0 But ultimately <strong>it&#8217;s quality that is vitally significant, above all else.<\/strong>\u00a0 If something is really well written and interesting or entertaining, and\/or funny, people will keep reading. And if your thoughts can be summed up in a few sentences, then don&#8217;t feel the need to pad it out.\u00a0 It&#8217;s your blog!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have any suggested additions or comments, don&#8217;t hesitate to let me know, via the <a title=\"Contact Fiona Lake\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fionalake.com.au\/contact\" target=\"_blank\">contact page<\/a> or <a title=\"Fiona Lake's twitter account\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FionaLakeAus\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the above points relate to <strong>Twitter<\/strong> and <strong>Facebook,<\/strong> not just blogs.<\/p>\n<p>Note: written October 2013; since updated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The internet is buried in blogs.
