Articles on web content writing

Catholic Web Content Development: Writing Catholic Articles: This article helps the Catholic site owner on discovering effective ways in Catholic web content development - the writing of Catholic articles and blog posts. Effective Catholic web content development includes not only substantial content, but also the application of search engine optimization techniques, so that the site's web pages will excel well in the rankings of the search engines.

Catholic Web Content Development Articles Series (1 of 7): Using the SEE-JUDGE-ACT theological method in web content development, can help us produce very substantial content, that is both objective and insightful, comprehensive and reflective. The key to make our writing effective, is to develop content that will lead our readers to know the facts of a human situation, be able to judge rightly from a Christian-values context, and then guide him, to reflect how he can uphold these same Christian values, in his own state of life.

Catholic Web Content Development Articles Series (2 of 7): Teaching a method of prayer or a spiritual exercise is another area of web content development for Catholic sites. This article gives ideas and suggestions on how to effectively write and develop this content. One important suggestion is to research what actual search query people are using to find a method of prayer on the Net. If we want to obtain more visitor traffic to our web site, then the use of this popular search query can give us the opportunity to create a good landing page.

Catholic Web Content Development Articles Series (3 of 7): Developing content on the history of the Church and the lives of the saints are other areas of web content development for Catholic sites. This article gives a guide on how to effectively write and develop this content. A few important guidelines that we can follow is: to produce articles at the same time that a historical place in the history of the Church is mentioned in the news; write intentionally for an English-literate audience in order to get their interest in how Catholicism was born and grew in their native lands; use a simple time guideline when developing historical content; make a positive difference by including the charism and spirituality of the saint in his biography; and effectively using anchor text optimization in writing on the lives of the saints.

Catholic Web Content Development Articles Series (4 of 7): Some of us Catholics were educated in an all-boys or an all-girls school run by priests and brothers, or by Catholic nuns. These educational institutions were founded by members of a religious order or congregation, that follow the charism of their religious founder. The religious founders of these men and women, lived a specific Catholic spirituality, which they form all their members, and the students of their educational institutions. As students, we were formed in the spirituality of prayer and work, of the religious founder of our Catholic school or university. We can thus share what we know in theory or experience, by developing web content on the form of prayer and work that had helped us learn a way of being Christian in the world.

Catholic Web Content Development Articles Series (5 of 7): Another area of web content development we can write about is on moral theology - more specifically the analysis of a moral issue. This article gives a sample case study of an urban poor community, from which our group in a moral theology class, made a survey through questionnaires and interviews on the disvalues of the community. The analytical study we made, helped us to see that much of the disvalues or immoral behavior in the community were present in a relational context, and the individual self-image of the members of the community was low. After making the analysis we were able to see how the dissatisfaction and the dismay they feel in relation to their situation, makes them desire for a good life - one more in accordance with their Catholic conscience and ethical Filipino cultural norms.

Catholic Web Content Development Articles Series (6 of 7): Writing reflections on Scripture passages is an area of web content development that can produce the most insightful works. This article helps the web content developer to get ideas from a structure, followed by this author, in writing his reflections of the gospel. The structure is a short three-paragraph reflection that includes: a brief summary description of the gospel passage; comments made by bible scholars and exegetes on the meaning of this gospel passage; and the reflection proper that integrates the inputs from the first two paragraphs.

Catholic Web Content Development Articles Series (7 of 7): Describing and explaining a catechetical teaching in ways more understandable to the layman, is an area of web content development that can produce not only informative content, but also lead the reader to deepen his knowledge of the catechetical truth and practice it in his life. This article suggests how to develop this web content so that it can make a difference from the other catechetical writings on the Web. The article suggests the writing of a paragraph or two that will help the reader reflect on how the catechetical truth can be integrated into his way of life, his state of life and vocation.
