• Tell a story. The articles should try to include your experiences. These are the most valuable for learning.
• Keep it medium. A 1000-1500 word article takes about 7 minutes to read.
• Using section headings. It's great to be able to break up the content for those interested in specific points about the article.
• Code is cool. Images are cool, too.

That's a great post. The "float-right image during first paragraph" hack is kinda brilliant. Also like the "tweetable quote" bit. I tried using pull quotes on my blog for that (example: http://www.naildrivin5.com/blog/2013/01/27/what-i-learned-working-at-livingsocial.html ), but never really made it look that nice. I think that was done with some CSS and JS (via an OctoPress plugin).
