the blogger’s desiderata

DesiderataAll I have to say is that I wish I’d written this. Go. Now. Read the whole thing.

Stumble aimlessly amid the trolls and waste, but remember what peace there be in staring at your toes for a couple of weeks. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all readers. Publish your posts quietly and clearly, and listen to podcasts, even the dull and garbled, for they too have a right to hog bandwidth. Avoid loud and aggressive bloggers. They are pains in the ass.

GO.

    What? Everybody steals it but nobody comments? What’s THAT about?

  2. One simple thing – Sheer greed.

    And Envy. Oh all right, two things – Greed and envy.

    And Sloth! Three things, Greed, Envy and Sloth.

    What is this? I never expected the Spanish Inquisition!

    You’ve done a masterful job of linking to it rain. I’m still bummed because I didn’t think of it before letters.

    This was brilliant, Rain.
    Gotta spread this one around with kudos to all.
    Reminds me of a post I did a while back called “BCD” (blogger compulsive disorder)
    Great find.

    Richard, fair enough. Ian deserves the credit. I was just feeling needy, what with my hits being in the toilette lately.
