Highly technical or dense subject matter could make it difficult to engage readers and keep them around. “Even though it can be difficult to make a topic like photo event sizes a blast to write about, I’ve learned some tricks that can end up making those not-as-fun topics equally as exciting,” [says HubSpot’s Kayla Carmicheal (opens in a new tab)](https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/writing-about-dull-topics) . One way to spice things up is to inject our own experiences into a post. This gives dry or technical pieces a personal touch and helps readers relate more to the piece. Visual elements such as infographics and videos also help the piece stand out. “Graphics improve the readability of a post and break up sections of the text to make my reader’s experience more enjoyable,” Carmicheal says. “Multimedia elements offer a different outlet to flex my creativity. I have so much fun making graphics that I get excited to write the rest of the post.” You can also tie current events into your post, such as a pop culture reference in the introduction, to catch the reader’s eye. “I’ve found that introducing a topic with how the latest fast food Twitter battle relates to it makes me amped to dive into the details,” Carmicheal says. If you’re not deeply familiar with a topic, reach out to subject matter experts for help. Not only will they convey information in a way that’s understandable, but they’ll also probably be passionate about what they’re talking about, making the post more compelling. ### How IT Can Support Virtual Events https://twitter.com/delcordan/status/1263462896694112257 **As more companies make use of virtual event technology**, IT leaders have the important role of making sure their organizations are using it effectively. “A virtual conference is not the same as an in-person event, so how can you change your organization’s traditional thinking to embrace this new approach and maximize the attendees’ experience?” [asks Mike Guerrieri on the DelCor blog (opens in a new tab)](https://www.delcor.com/resources/blog/tech-leadership-covid) . “You could have shorter sessions, combine live and pre-recorded sessions, or make the recorded content available as an additional post-conference revenue stream.” ### Other Links of Note **It’s easy to make donors feel appreciated** with [thank-you videos (opens in a new tab)](https://www.networkforgood.com/nonprofitblog/how-to-easily-thank-donors-with-video/) , suggests Network for Good’s Liz Ragland.
