My latest DeHaan Services article, "The Two-Weekend 2012 Beaches Jazz Festival Toronto", is a preview of the upcoming 2012 Beaches International Jazz Festival in Toronto.

Originally intended as a quick pointer to the official web site, this article grew because there are a number of details that people should learn easily. These details include the dates of the events, when roads will be closed, and a mention of the "secret crown jewels" hidden in the main site.


Publicity for my Article about the Beaches Jazz Festival 2012

As always, my Xanga blog ("The 2012 Beaches Jazz Festival Takes Planning") also publicizes my DeHaan Services article.

Writing Tip from the 2012 Toronto Jazz Festival

Today's writing tip is a minor confession. I had researched the main information for venues, dates and times. My plan was to quickly draft, proof-read and publish, since the official site has so much detail.

It took longer than expected, because I came to realize that my readers might especially need the details about road closures. The readers who are truly excited about the Beaches International Jazz Festival have already bookmarked the site.

However, my target audience includes those who will say, "But I wanted to drive along Queen Street that weekend...". They won't want to explore the official web site; they need some details up front.

Today's writing tip is to focus your article on the needs of someone in your target audience, whether they are the hard-core elite, the amateurs and newbies, or those who want to avoid the jazz festival scene altogether. Meeting those specific needs might take a bit more time and effort, but should be rewarding to your readers and yourself.

    Flexible Sidebar

    Weebly's "Blog Author" widget from the Blog Sidebar's Elements menu provides a lot of flexibility. You can change both the title and the text.

    It has all the capabilities for text editing that you find in most Weebly text widgets.

    At this point, I don't see a way to code any HTML in this widget.

    The "Picture" does what you expect: it displays an image of your choice. I just added my home-made picture of "Copyright DeHaan Services 2013" as the top element in this sidebar on Jan. 22, 2013.

    The "Search Box" is a "Pro" feature; if you're paying for Weebly hosting, it may be worthwhile.

    The other widgets are pre-programmed to do what they say.
