BanPro NET first announced their "free upgrades forever" policy with public release of educational title "Fun 21 Trivia" in 2001, claiming that they felt users who registered their software were supporting development of future versions and titles, so deserved to be rewarded for their support rather than exploited by discontinued support for previous versions of titles and costly upgrade fees.

While this approach may not be traditional it certainly seems to work for BanPro NET as they're still around and delivering useful titles three years later.

Your computer has spelling and grammar checks, as well as access to a thesaurus. Use them, but remember that machine can’t decipher all intricacies of language. Language is a world in itself, and much of its territories are undiscovered by masses. So, again keep it simple. Short, precise sentences with single ideas are great. Many words in English language have same meanings (synonyms). Use thesaurus so you don’t repeat same word over and over throughout text. It keeps story fresh and doesn’t turn reader off. There’s nothing more boring than repetition. Using different words can be a lot of fun and a learning experience, just make sure you use a dictionary (also on computer/Internet) to make absolute sure of word’s definition.

Readability…Simplicity…Make your blog accessible by all people. You can even take into consideration that many readers will have learned English as a second language. As I’ve said in previous articles, keep to point-don’t go on tangents. Stick with article’s topic, and definitely stay within realms of your blog’s main area. If your blog is entitled “Jazz music”, people who go there don’t want to hear about how your football team won on weekend! Please be consistent. How irritating is it to visit a blog that hasn’t been written on in months or years?

I hope these little tips will help you on your quest to producing ‘good’ writing that brings new friends and acquaintances of similar outlooks into your world. If you want people to read, aim is to produce an emotional reaction in your reader. Pretend you are writing to another form of yourself, if it were not readable, interesting and fun…would you stick around?
