Moving forward, Today we will be exploring how to future proof your content. The very first step is to learn about structured content. Structured content is organized in blocks (“component” in technical words).

Example

While reading this article, a reader is sure about

  • What this article is about
  • Who is the author, when was it published, and under which category. This information further ensures that the title is in sync with the content I am about to read
  • Details about the topic — Pinching

You repeatedly and primarily consume content in this format on the internet. They are blogs’ established formats.

Benefits

  • Semantic categorization gives a better format for content editors to create content
  • Reusability.
  • Easy to Automate
  • Good goverance
  • Ability to define better workflow around your strcture. Who can add what!
  • Focused collaboration among team members

Drawback

  • Tendency to over categorize items

I suggest starting to put your thoughts in some structure, and it will all start to make sense. Please connect with me on LinkedIn, let’s talk and explore more about content together.
