I like my blog post introductions written in simple, clear, 8th-grade English with a calm, conversational tone that feels human and relatable, avoids buzzwords and fluff, quickly connects with a real reader problem, clearly explains what the post will help them do, may include a light first-person touch when it fits, and eases readers in with just enough context before getting straight to the point.
