51 Steps to Blogging

I found this link awhile back and I’m just now making a post about it. Although this is only a humorous article about blogging some of my favoriate entries were:

Find a free blogging service, such as www.blogger.com

Register a catchy yet philosophically deep name for your new blog: “lifesucks”; “All Things Me”; “Lifehacker”; “Playing With Matches”; “The Internet Slacker”, “I Stalk David Hasselhoff”.

Consider one of the many pre-made website templates offered by the blogging service, or one created by you.

Turn your nose up in disgust at the thought of using a pre-made template for your blog.

Spend the next seventeen hours creating a functioning website from scratch. If using Microsoft FrontPageTM, relocate all children and elders to a safe area out of your “profanity zone”.

Complete your self-made blog template by clicking on the “Publish Website” command in Microsoft FrontPageTM.

Watch in shock as the aforementioned seventeen hours of hard work gets permanently deleted off your hard drive by Microsoft FrontPageTM.

Swear so loudly all dogs within a five block radius begin running in circles and howling.

Declare “Screw It” and choose from a pre-made template. Always choose one with lots of kittens and flashing animated gifs.

Make sure the template is ready for your first blog entry. You can do this by going to your new blog’s URL address and seeing if the page loads properly. It will have no posts yet, of course, as you have not actually written your first blog entry. (If you do see a post written by yourself at this specific moment in time, read it! You’ve traveled back in time to warn yourself about the “Publish Website” command in Microsoft FrontPageTM).

. . .

Reload your blog incessantly every two minutes to see if anyone has made a comment.

Become enraged when the very first comment made on your very first blog entry is “yuo are teh sUxx0r!” from Anonymous
