Have You Been Bogging Lately?

More like Why Aren't You BOGGING? 

 How can you become a better Bogger? <I actually mean the equivalent of ''a person who bugs'' but I cannot use the word for obvious reasons>

1. Use a catchy title.
Make the title unique, consider using questions and lists.
Like ''79 ways to be nothing but an annoying nuisance on the Internet''

2. Use interesting visuals.
Include an image or video in your blog. This will get people’s attention and help them better understand the content of your blog. Like this one

3. Include links. Links add depth and credibility to your articles and allow you to show a little ‘link love’.

4. Use bullets, italians, and bold font. This makes for an easier read. Using bold font allows the reader to quickly scan your post.  

• And nothing says in your face better than BOLD FONT

5. Let your personality come through. This is what makes your blog unique. :[

6. Make blogs short, otherwise your reader might take one look at your post and bolt. If you choose to make your blog post long, consider breaking your blog into parts or use bold font to highlight the main points of the blog.
Short & fun like James Joyce' Ulysses.

7. Reference your articles. If you use other people’s work, include a reference or link to their article.
I plagiarized this whole thing from here.

8. Be interesting and have fun. LOL.

9. Encourage comments. Engage your reader and develop a relationship with them. This can be as simple as ending your post with a question.

10. Be bold. This might take the form of being outrageous or controversial. I hate MJ.

11. Post tags. This will help your readers find you.

12. Respond to comments as soon as possible. Treat your reader like a friend.
If your friend calls you and leaves a message, do you wait days to respond? YES, I DO

13. Make your blog post easy to share. This may include adding widgets such as Tweet, Reddit, Delicious, Stumble Upon, etc. Clog up someone else's news stream for a change.
Ridiculously small buttons with colors and a teeny letter.

14. Post frequently.

15. Promote your blog. This involves posting your posts to bookmarking sites, such as Stumble Upon and Delicious. Use Facebook and Twitter or other virtual communities such as LinkedIn and Craigslist (really?).

Dear reader, what other social ostracism have you been subject to?

The Internet Rules I - Characters

Recent attempts at being funny have been well-received. By Martians & residents of Middle Earth, the society next door. It is actually a colony for miners.
Before these jokes go even more downhill, let us go meet the contenders for internet pic of the week.

This blog post is brought for ye gentle lads, from the cavernous pits of the Internet, by Captain Haddock. You can say thanks here.

A brief intro- These unsung heroes need their due. The internet might love Leo, Cats or Gaga but I love these. So, give it up for..

#1. R2D2: The single most important character in the Star Wars saga. Yes, even more so than Darth Vader or Bobba Fett.

#2. Strong Sad: Epitomises my philosophy on most days of the calender. This however does not apply on Leap year years.

#3. Gordon Freeman: Half-Life.While we have Cybernetic Super soldiers, Silent assassins & Mythic warriors as protagonists, this man perseveres for Science.

#4. Marvin the Paranoid Android: Hums Pink Floyd's Shine on You Crazy Diamond when depressed. Very cool. I'll miss him.

#5. Alastor Moody: What can I say? The bad-ass-est character from the Harry Potter series. Usually friendly but can turn you into a ferret.
