Problem: Article: Even if your site is text-heavy, it should be visually appealing to keep people from making snap judgments about the quality. If you don't have much design sense, have an artistic friend give it the once over, ask an older relative whether or not they find the site easy to navigate, or even consider hiring a designer to work on the overall composition. Streamline every page so that people don't get disoriented or frustrated. Avoid using elaborate fonts, numerous colors, or unnecessary graphics that slow down the page-load time (or make people think they're looking at an over-enthusiastic PowerPoint presentation). Use the same banner at the top (and bottom, if applicable) of every page so that people can navigate your site with ease. Tie all your pages together with a color scheme so that people don't think they've been mysteriously transported somewhere else with every click. Be consistent in your font usage by sticking with no more than three fonts, making section all headers the same size, all subsection headers a different size, etc. If you're afraid that leaving white space will drive visitors away, just look at any Google page. White space helps a page look clean and uncluttered, to say nothing of the fact that it makes navigation much easier. Nobody wants to battle a wall of text.
Summary: Make the site easy on the eyes. Keep it simple. Keep a consistent theme. Embrace white space. Use short paragraphs.

Problem: Article: The most common way to begin a sympathy card note is to start with the word "Dear." You could also write "Dearest," or simply start with the person's name. Avoid starting with "Hi" or another casual salutation - err on the side of being a little formal. Address the person to whom you're writing as you'd normally address that person. If you're writing to a teacher you normally call "Ms. Frankel," address her that way in the card. If you're writing to someone you know well, using the person's first name is appropriate. If the card is meant to express sympathy to an entire family, and not just one person, write each person's name out. If you don't know the names of everyone in the family, you could write "Sarah and family." Say how sorry you are to hear that the deceased has passed away, and if you knew the person, mention his or her name. If you didn't know the person, you can refer to him or her as "your mother" or "your grandfather," and so on. For example: I am so sorry that Miles has passed away after his long battle with cancer. I am deeply grieved to hear of Margaret's passing. Words can't express how sorry I am that June is gone. Ending your note after briefly expressing sympathy is perfectly acceptable for a note you're sending to someone you don't know very well. Include a phrase that is conventional and has no chance of being misconstrued. Choose to write something like "thinking of you in sympathy" or "please accept my condolences" if you wish to keep the note on the short side. This is especially appropriate if the sympathy card you're using already has a printed poem or note inside. Examples of other appropriate brief sentiments include: You are in my thoughts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We are thinking of you. I'm praying for you during this difficult time. We will honor the memory of [deceased] during this time of sorrow. [Deceased] will always be in our thoughts. If you knew the person who passed away, write how much you will miss him or her, and share a few things you remember. Demonstrating a shared grief will make the recipient of the card feel less lonely during his or her time of loss. Briefly mention something special about the person, or how much that person meant to you. Writing a few words that invite the person to call you or reach out to you if you are needed will probably be welcome. Be sure you're ready to follow up on it if the person indeed reaches out for help. If you know the person well, you may simply want to write "Love," then sign your name. If you're sending a card to someone for whom that closing wouldn't be right, choose a closing that best expresses your feelings and your relationship to the person. For example: With caring thoughts, With loving memories, With love, With deepest sympathy, With heartfelt condolences, Our sincere sympathy,
Summary: Start with an appropriate salutation. Write how sorry you are about the person's passing. If you don't know the person well, consider keeping it brief. If you know the deceased, consider sharing memories. Offer help or assistance if you'd like. End your note with an appropriate closing.

Problem: Article: Search on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Tumblr to see if your creation is already in use. Be sure that your hashtag is not already associated with a brand, idea, or community. It's good to have your hashtag stand out, and you don't want to risk confusing your message when users search for your hashtag online. Be thorough in your research. The last thing you want is for your hashtag to take off, only to find out afterwards that it's already associated with something you don't want attached to your brand. If your hashtag is already in use, move to a different option on your list, or change the hashtag enough to make it unique. Check with a friend that your hashtag is clear and easy to understand. Be sure to check whether the hashtag spells out multiple words other than what you intended, for example you could interpret the hashtag '#thatcher' as spelling out the word 'that' and the name 'cher.' Sometimes it can be hard to tell that your hashtag spells out multiple words when you write it using capital letters. Try writing your hashtag out in lowercase letters to better tell if it spells out any unintended words. Many words and phrases can have multiple meanings which can confuse the message of your hashtag. The hashtag #friends for example could refer to a group of friends, or the popular TV show Friends. If you can come up with multiple meanings for your hashtag, try adding more detail, like a date or location, to clarify its meaning. Ask a family member or colleague to read over your hashtag and help you write down a list of its possible meanings. Sometimes getting a second opinion can help you notice mistakes and any unclear language in your hashtag. Search the words or phrase in your hashtag on a local news website. Be sure that any names or phrases you're using have not been used in recent news stories or to describe major events. Unless you're trying to reference these people or events specifically, be sure to avoid names that have shown up on the news. If you want to use a name similar to one in the news, try abbreviating the name, using a nickname, or adding a first or last name or initial to your hashtag for clarity.
Summary:
Check that your hashtag is unique by searching for it on social media sites. Verify that your hashtag doesn't spell out any unintended words. Check that your hashtag doesn't have a double meaning. Check in the news for words in your hashtag.
