How to Blog: In Thirteen Parts

I’ll usually stuff my weblogs into sub-domains and leave the root, as it is, open. I’ll then stick something in the root and let it rot under the noon-day sun. Current example under this link. Not sure why I do it this way. I think I keep believing I’ll one day fashion a landing page of sorts, but I’m kidding myself to some degree.

All this is neither here nor there. I simply mention it because from time to time I’ll fiddle with the absurdist stylings of iWeb and toss the results into the main domain name. I just came across one aborted idea for a home page I farted out once upon a distant moon. Seeing as how it’s just sitting in a dank corner of my hard drive growing moldy and stale, I thought I’d give it some life, and so here you are; my take on How to Blog. A quick caveat, in case you’ve missed my occasional foray into cynicism, the following is a joke… sort of.

If you’ve got friends and family nagging you about your blog - what is it? why do it? are you an idiot? [that's usually a rhetorical one from where they roll] - or you feel someone in your life could use some advice about this curious creature we’ve beaten with the unfortunate name of blog [which has always sound like "log" to me and makes me think of shit] then feel free to download the How to Blog: An Annotated List in Thirteen Parts PDF, hand it to them and walk away. They can figure it out on their own.
