That is it - you have made your posting. Keep them to a max of about 500 words or shorter preferably, and use normal conversation language. In other words, do not get too technical, the idea is to convey things to people about your industry, your area, even yourself etc in such a way that they can also form a picture of the person who wrote it - the old people buy from people principle!
