Once you are satisfied with your editing, it's time to proofread your website.  Proofreading deals with the more mechanical aspects of your writing.  Check your writing for these points.

Title

Have I included a title?

Punctuation

Did I include a punctuation mark at the end of each sentence?

Did I use commas to separate items in a series?

Did I use commas before conjunctions (e.g., and, or, but) in compound sentences?

Did I correctly punctuate the dialogue in my writing?

Did I use apostrophes to show possession or missing letters (not plural)?

Capitalization

Did I begin each sentence and direct quotation with a capital letter?

Did I capitalize nouns that name specific people, places, and things?

Spelling

Have I double-checked the spelling of the names of people and places?

Did I use the correct word form for words that sound alike but have different spellings and meanings (e.g., their, they're, there;  too, to, two)?

Did I use the spell-check function on my computer?

Paragraphing

Have I included a Meet the Poet paragraph?

Have I included introductions for each of the 3 poems?

Are my paragraphs well written with a clear topic and concluding sentences?

Presentation

Have I uploaded my dramatic reading of one of my poems to my website?

Have I included graphics and an appealing layout to my website?

Is my website easy to navigate?

Sometimes it can be difficult to spot mistakes in your own work, so you could ask a friend or family member to proofread it as well.
