Good Advice

Tish over at The Kat House has tagged me with this meme, started by Neonscent.

This time it's all about imparting some wisdom to you strange people who wander around the worldwide interweb. I've been asked to give one helpful hint to fellow bloggers, to keep them on the righteous path and make sure that their blogs are suitable places for their fellow man to visit.

Well, I'm no expert - I've only been groanin' online since September, and I don't think for a second that my thoughts are any more worthwhile than anyone else's. And I certainly don't think that I'm in a position to offer advice - whatever your reasons for blogging, do it for yourself, not for anyone else. I can no more offer advice on how to blog than I can on how to think or speak.

But, from a personal point of view, I think my way of thinking is that pissing about on the blogosphere is just that - pissing about. Nobody's paying me for this nonsense, so I'm under no obligation to take it too seriously. Just think of it as the contents of my head popping up as a series of 1s and 0s.

If you think you can change the world by blogging (you poor misguided fool), be my guest, but my one piece of advice is "don't take it all too seriously".

Here's the meme in full for those who want to give it a shot - I'm supposed to tag 10 more people to play along, but I'll let others decide for themselves if they want to add to the Ten Commandments.

(Meme Starts)

It’s very simple. When this is passed on to you, copy the whole thing, skim the list and put a * star beside those that you like. (Check out especially the * starred ones.)

Add the next number (1. 2. 3. 4. 5., etc.) and write your own blogging tip for other bloggers. Try to make your tip general.

After that, tag 10 other people. Link love some friends!

Just think– if 10 people start this, the 10 people pass it onto another 10 people, you have 100 links already!
