Blogging Rules

With the influx of new bloggers, I have decided to come up with some Blogging Etiquette and Rules. Please follow these if at all possible.

  • If you have a personal blog, please do not place Google Ads on your blog. Read my thoughts on that here: Google Ads
  • Please limit your posts. Meaning, if you have a personal blog, please don’t post 10 times a day. Wait until you have something to say to say it. (I broke my personal 1 post a day rule today, and have done so in the past quite a few times, I’m sorry)
  • Never launch a personal attack on someone.
  • Don’t ask someone to link your blog. If they find what you have to say important enough to direct users from their site onto yours, then feel honored.
  • If something you posted is not your original work, credit the original
  • If you are not going to post on your blog, don’t have a blog.

    • That’s all I can think of now, I’m sure I will be adding to this list in the future. Please fellow bloggers, follow these rules for the good of the blogging community.

    Dear Abby,

    Dear Abby,
    My husband has a long record of money problems. He runs up huge credit card bills. At the end of the month, if I try to pay them off, he shouts at me, saying I am stealing his money. He says pay the minimum and let our kids worry about the rest, but already we can hardly keep up with the interest.

    Also, he has been so arrogant and abusive toward our neighbors that most of them no longer speak to us. The few that do are an odd bunch, to whom he has been giving a lot of expensive gifts, running up our bills even more.

    Also, he has gotten religious in a big way, although I don’t quite understand it. One week he hangs out with Catholics and the next with people who say the Pope is the Anti-Christ.

    And now he has been going to the gym an awful lot and is into wearing uniforms and cowboy outfits, and I hate to think what that means.

    Finally, the last straw. He’s demanding that before anyone can be in the same room with him, they must sign a loyalty oath. It’s just so horribly creepy! Can you help?

    Signed, Lost in DC

    DEAR LOST: Stop whining, Laura. You can divorce the jerk any time you want. The rest of us are stuck with him for four more years!

    Thanks to Chris Miller for posting this.

    Student Teaching Meeting

    Looks like it will be fairly easy to do my student teaching in St. Louis. This is a good thing. Hopefully I will be able to do it at Fort Zumwalt and Francis Howell. If not, I would prefer one of those and somewhere like Troy or Wentzville.

    New Look

    New look, thanks to the creaters of Manji and the MidEvil themes. This is very elegant. I will be making some changes to suit me more in the future, but I thought I’d get this up now.

    Quick Update

    Weekend was great. Went to Ebbet’s Field on Saturday Night. Never been there before. It’s a pretty cool place.

    I’ve decided what i’m going to write about for my Business History class. We have to pick a company and write 14-20 pages on it. I was going to do the Lemp Brewery in St. Louis. It was America’s First Lager Beer. With not a lot of information about the business, I decided to switch to Def Jam Records. I’ve already read Russell Simmon’s Book Life and Def and there is also some company history in both Hip Hop America and The Vibe History of Hip Hop. Not to mention, I have another book on the way, and there are always gov’t records and even the internet for some info. Should be a pretty nice paper.

    How many surrealists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
