Body

For bloggers?

The body of a blog collection should consist of articles that are located on the blog website. Titles are commonly added at the beginning of the article as a heading with author and date as a subheading located directly below the heading.

Creatively there is no right or wrong. As long as the writing is clean and the flow is concise your reader should be able to find what they are looking for on your page.

For essayists?

The body of an essay collection should follow formal formatting guidelines. Commonly the title and in some cases the date should be located at the top of the page, right-aligned.

For poets?

Poems take on a life of their own when on the page. Formatting the body, or meat, of a poem is completely up to the poet. Often times the format is part of the poem.

Titles may be located at the top, bottom or side of pages. They should be formatted as headlines or titles and should stand out to be differentiated from the body of the poem.

For short stories?

Short stories are simular to essay in how they should be formatted. They can be left aligned or justified. Titles should be centered on the first page of the short story.
