The Ultimate Checklist: 7 Tools for Perfect Blog Formatting

Posted by TexyTools on November 4, 2023

You've written a fantastic blog post. The ideas are brilliant, the research is solid, but if the formatting is sloppy, readers will click away in seconds. Good formatting makes your content readable, professional, and engaging.

Here is the ultimate checklist of 7 free online tools from TexyTools to help you format your next blog post perfectly.

☐ 1. Remove Extra Spaces: The First Cleanup

Before you do anything else, clean up your text. If you've copied your draft from another source like a PDF or Google Docs, it's often full of weird spacing.

  • Tool: Remove Extra Spaces
  • How to Use: Paste your entire draft into the tool. Check the boxes for "Remove Extra Spaces" and "Remove Empty Lines." This will instantly fix double spaces and inconsistent paragraph spacing, giving you a clean foundation to work with.

☐ 2. Word Counter: Check Your Length & Readability

Is your post long enough for SEO? Is it easy to read? A word counter gives you the data you need.

  • Tool: Word Counter
  • How to Use: Paste your cleaned-up text. Check the word count to see if you've met your target length. More importantly, look at the sentence and paragraph counts to ensure your content is broken into short, digestible chunks.

☐ 3. Case Converter: Perfect Your Headlines

Consistent headline capitalization is a mark of professionalism.

  • Tool: Case Converter
  • How to Use: Paste your main title and all your subheadings into the tool. Click "Title Case" to capitalize the first letter of each word. This ensures all your headings have a uniform, polished look.

☐ 4. Stylish Text Generator: Add Emphasis

Sometimes you need to make a word or phrase really stand out.

  • Tool: Stylish Text Generator
  • How to Use: To add special emphasis to a key phrase, type it into the generator and choose a bold or italic Unicode style. Pasting this into your blog post can create a visual pop that standard formatting can't achieve. Use it sparingly for maximum impact.

☐ 5. Underline/Strikethrough Generators: Show Edits or Importance

These tools are great for specific types of communication within your post.

  • Tools: Underline Generator & Strikethrough Generator
  • How to Use:
    • Use the underline tool to add strong emphasis to a point: "This is the m̲o̲s̲t̲ i̲m̲p̲o̲r̲t̲a̲n̲t̲ step."
    • Use the strikethrough tool to show a correction or a "before and after": "The price was t̶w̶o̶ ̶h̶u̶n̶d̶r̶e̶d̶ one hundred dollars."

☐ 6. Find and Replace: Make Bulk Edits

Realized you've been using the wrong term throughout your article? Don't fix it by hand.

  • Tool: Find and Replace Text
  • How to Use: Paste your entire article. Enter the word you want to change in the "Find" box and the new word in the "Replace" box. It will correct every instance instantly and consistently.

☐ 7. Markdown Editor: The Ultimate Writing Environment

For a truly streamlined process, write your entire draft in Markdown from the start.

  • Tool: Online Markdown Editor
  • How to Use: Use simple syntax like # Heading and **bold** to format as you write. The live preview shows you exactly how it will look. When you're done, you can copy the clean HTML or just the plain text into your blogging platform. This avoids almost all formatting issues from the very beginning.

By running your content through this checklist of tools, you can ensure every blog post you publish is clean, readable, professional, and perfectly formatted for your audience.
