Very nice blog.

But you forgot to mention avoiding passive voice.

For instance, "Johnathan was explaining editing" should be "Johnathan explained editing."

"Matthew had been tearing his hair out coming up with new ideas," should be, "Matthew tore his hair out coming up with new ideas."

Always avoid "has" "had" "was", keep it active!
