This is my input on day two of  Problogger’s 31 Days to Build a Better Blog Challenge. Day 2 Darren wrote about the benefits of writing list posts.

I have often stated how lists are a great format for pulling content together in a neat, and precise method that will grab the attention of your visitors.

Darren of course being the master blogger has written a good summary on the use of lists.

You can follow my homework assignment here:  “7 Tools, Scripts, or Apps to Follow and Unfollow on Twitter. ”

Read what Darren Rowse has to say about Writing Lists.
