Check your blog’s reading level

If you are trying to write a blog for an audience at a certain grade level, check your blog’s reading level.

I don’t know how scientific this process is.  I did blog about another tool back in February.  Try the text statistics at UsingEnglish for more detail than “junior high school.”

It looks like I am writing at the junior high level.  Most of the blogs I read are at the same level.  eSchool News is reported to be written for the Genius.

    A couple weeks ago, I started running the Word Statistics plugin for WordPress. This plugin shows you the Gunning-Fog, Flesch, and Flesch-Kincaid readability indexes in the edit window as you’re writing a post. It gets updated every time you save. Unlike the readability tool here, it actually tells you which algorithm it’s using.

    As Ryan pointed out, people embedding this code on their blogs may also want to remove the link to the cash advance site.
