8 Steps to a successful blog

There are a few things I have noticed about successful blogging, and a list I have complied.

  1. Write stuff in said blog
  2. Update said blog often
  3. Have a topic to write about in said blog
  4. Have a topic to write about in said blog that is other than your boring life
  5. Understanding that your life IS boring and no one wants to know what you had for dinner or where you are going on Saturday
  6. Be funny
  7. If the author of said blog cannot be funny, said author of said blog should NOT *try* to be funny but should stick with serious thought provoking posts
  8. If said author of said blog cannot be funny or thought provoking, said author should buy a journal and delete said blog
Unfortunately, although I wish to be a successful blogger, I have slack in many of the steps that are required to achieve this. Bear with me as I attempt, a second time, to blog with the best of them.

For the first time in years I miss Xanga. Remember that? We used it when we were awkward teens to post about how independently creative and cool we were. I miss that you could show your "currently listening to" to "currently reading". Well I am currently listening to Owl City's myspace [I heart] and currently reading Matthew chapter 7. But by blogging that I just violated rule # 4. Ah, well... life moves on.

Tune in next time - same time, same channel - for another astounding update.

Genuinely,
Anna Elizabeth :]
