Blogging tips, part II

6. Use short paragraphs. When confronted with a wall of 500 words with no breaks, most people don't even start reading. It's too hard to keep track of where you are. No paragraph breaks is also a sign of an inexperienced writer.
7. Read and reply to what people wrote about your blog. Even if you just say thanks for the comment. It's polite.
8. Get people's attention with the title. If it's not catchy, no one will read you.
9. Cite your sources. Plagiarism is still a crime.
10. Take pride in what you write. The number of readers who visit your blog do not determine the worth of your blog.

I've never in my life used short paragraphs...When confronted with a wall of 500 words with no breaks, most people don't even start reading. It's too hard to keep track of where you are. No paragraph breaks are also a sign of an inexperienced writer, and homosexual tendencies.

I like to get people's attention with the title. If it's not catchy, no one will read you. I'll call you something catchy like, 'tree humper' or 'penile implant'. Also, I take no pride in what you or I write. The number of readers who visit your blog do not determine the worth of your blog, and cite your sources. 'Plagiarism is still a crime.'

I'm taking full credit for what I just posted.

Thanks for reading

Ride a cowboy...

I wonder what that means...
