I admit, I’ve stalked checked out pretty much the same blogs forever it seems–mostly those of the old BC&S people. Now that I’ve been using the WP forum quite a bit, I’ve diversified my viewing.

That said, OMG WE’RE DOING IT WRONG! Apparently, to have a proper blog, you have to have a deep-seeded hatred of the product you’re using. You also have to have a LOT of whitespace. Color and/or graphics are frowned upon. The only color you should have is some narrow strip of “wildlife shot” as your header. Your blog looks better with a tree branch on top,yo. You didn’t know? You also have to have Google Ads. LOTS AND LOTS of Google Ads. Oh, and while it’s not mandatory, if you hate America, you get bonus points. If you are able to gather your followers properly, you can act like a six year old online and they will RUSH to defend you. I kid you not, this week has seen the “Wah! That’s it! I’m leaving!” posts of several of the support forum mods over at WP. The support for them has been astonishing.

In conclusion, all the layouts we’ve used, from Karen’s Capt. Jack Sparrow and Mutant X, to One by One’s Gwen(s), and V.D’O, to Pooh’s Joe, Cibby’s Kane, and Chasa’s Darla, have been BAD. We are teh suck.

Only, you know. not.
