A really great blog post can bring a flood of visitors to your website when people who read your post share it with the world.
The best way to create a potentially viral blog post is to experiment with lots of different types of blog posts and to observe what has worked for other blogs.

Not only do we need skills for expository, creative, persuasive and technical writing, but we often write about topics for which we know very little at first. Furthermore, our writing is expected to be motivating while clearly delivering concepts, procedures and facts. Via Alfredo Calderon, Luciana Viter, Ken Morrison

A comprehensive article on the subject, "how to create a Blog post." It gives you the procedures to be adopted to produce structured and professional articles... an amazing post! [note: Martin Gysler]
Content
This is the most important part of you blog post because it’s what your visitors have come for, so if you want them to enjoy it and come back, you need to make sure it’s up to a good standard. Having amazing knowledge is one thing, but if you can’t manage to organize it in a way that is easily understandable to your readers, then it’s completely wasted.
Planning
Before you even open up your website, you need to get yourself some good fashion pen and paper and start taking notes. Even if you don’t know the exact title of your post, you should atleast know what it’s going to be about, so put that in a circle in the middle of the page and work out from there with a spider diagram...

If you are into data and storytelling, then this brief overview is for you. The slideshare program quickly explains data visualization through time.
Of course, how data is displayed -- if done well -- can tell its own story. The next step is to give a presentation as a story, and tell the story of the data as you are doing so.
Until then, enjoy this quick historical review of visual storytelling.
