Hello~ I just started on here and I've wrote 2 reviews already. It's easy to do and fun too. I hope it helps others and I'm going to continue to write reviews as I have time. I'm new like I said so if anyone has any helpful hits they think I should now please tell me. If someone  that is just starting on here and needs help you can ask me and I'll try to help you as I found this site easy to use. I may be able to help you getting started since I just went through it. Well, good luck in writing your reviews, I'm sure it will help others as to make decisions on buying something or checking out other websites and such.

Hey Foxy, welcome to Viewpoints!

If you're looking for tips, my number one is to just keep on writing. The more you write about products, the better you get at it, so just keep on writing about what you like and don't like.

I see that you write nice meaty reviews with a lot of detail. One suggestion I have is that you break up a large block of text into multiple paragraphs, which makes things easier to read. In the newspaper business, writers are taught to write in paragraphs of no more than two sentences, but that's too short for a writing on the Web. I recommend paragraphs of three to four sentences.

Good luck on Viewpoints and be sure to ask if you have any questions.

Great suggestion Bob.  I sometimes can eyeball my review and decide of the paragraphs or the right size, but I never had a general rule to follow.  That's very helpful :)
