1: Thou Shall Not Drink And Blog
See my first post. Drinking and blogging is a reckless pursuit that can only end in embarrassment.
2: Thou Shall Tell It How It Is
Whilst a lot of "how to" blogs advise being inoffensive and keeping it like a "conversation with your grandparents", I say there is a reason there are record levels of lonely old people in the world. They are boring and cranky.
I am not saying you should deliberately offend anyone but if there is a place for freedom of speech this must be it. Got an opinion? voice it. The only reason I am blogging is it is a requirement of the course, anyone who chooses to blog should have something interesting to say or just keep a diary. As a rule we all believe in freedom of speech... unless it conflicts with our values or beliefs, I say lets hear it, at least it will be a good read.
3: Thou Shall Not Make Ridiculous Generalisations
I have read blogs where pompous bloggers have used stupid stereo-typing, like saying that all old people are boring and cranky for example, to help enforce a point. It is bound to offend humorless people and result in hate mail.
4: Thou Shall Proof Read Thy Post
Please use the Queens Bloody English. I hate reading blogs written in all lower case, and really hate them written in SMS language. u c what i mean? i h8 this and it must stop b4 it makes my head hurt.
If your thoughts are worth posting up for the world to see at least present them in a manner that indicates that you respect them enough to make them easily decipherable. I sound like an old person.
5: Thou Shall Be Careful When Blogging About Others
Only blog something about someone that you would say to their face. Fortunately I often say stupid things to people's faces.
