Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 11:44 AM Ok hi. So, I went to this charity walkathon thing yesterday, with Jaslyn, Flora, Maria, Boon Jin, Clarissa, Rachel, Jolyn, Jia Sing, Jessie, Melissa and Nirusha. Actually, when we were walking, Boon Jin and the Jessie gang disappeared. Took some pictures, but there's no time for me to upload and photoshop them, as I'm leaving for my beloved Korea today! :D Anyways, thanks to TCF for accompanying us there yesterday. -- So, okay. Since I'll be away for a whole week, I though I'd give you guys a longer post to read. (that is, if you actually bother to read. if you're reading this, thanks!^^) I will share my 5 rules on blogging! ~ Hahahahha! A blog is where you can just type out how you feel and all that, right. But people also read it, and nowadays, it's in fashion to see how many hits you've got. So in order to keep the number of visitors to your blog consistent, you gotta...: 1. Avoid talking about people only you know. People don't want to read about the happenings of other people they do not personally know. For example: "I went out with Tom, Dick and Harry yesterday, and omg Dick was being such a dick and complaining about everything. Harry, Tom and I then left Dick and went to get ice cream, and Harry cracked a joke that made neither Tom nor me laugh. Tom then told me that he secretly hated Jerry." Like wtf? Who the hell cares about these people? Would you, if you didn't know them? Only if the majority of your readers are of the same group (ie, classmates, schoolmates, etc), then it's okay to talk about these things. 2. Make your entry interesting. Come on, be honest, even you yourself wouldn't want to read an article that is: Posted like this because the person keeps going on and on and on about whatever and not leaving any damned lines which is incredibly irritating and not pleasing to the eyes as when the reader lands their eyes on that whole damned chunk of ugly black words, their eyes and brains immediately turn lazy and haha, your entry is shit and no one wants to read it. I bet you wouldn't too, and if you are reading this now, then woah, you do have patience. So I shall just copy and paste this over and over again because I'm unusually running out of stupid things to say. Enjoy.

I bet you wouldn't too, and if you are reading this now, then woah, you do have patience. So I shall just copy and paste this over and over again because I'm unusually running out of stupid things to say. Enjoy. It's best to have the so-called "enjambment" in your posts, so that it's easier and nicer to read. 3. Picture Perfect. Most of your entries should have pictures. Okay, fine. I'm contradicting myself since this post doesn't have any pictures. But that's why I said "most" and not "all". Ha! Pictures make the post look less wordy and sometimes, if you get the right shot at the right angle, a picture says a thousand words. So, in short, it does the summary for you. Too bad you can't include this in the english exam. ): 4. Have colours! Black and white is awesome, but too much of it sucks. So, add colours. If you don't know where is the most appropriate place to add colours, just add them on things you want to emphasize on. 5. Make it fun! Don't. Ever. Post. An. Entry. Like. You've. Just. Written. An. Essay. 0% of blog visitors and readers would want to read an essay when they visit someone's blog, as it is too boring and there is no life to it. This is due to the fact that when the posts are presented in such a way, the automatic and natural reaction of the human mind is to skip the tedious reading and lose interest in the post. This then causes the reader to find no interest in staying in and re-visiting the blog again, thus the blogger would lose his or her readers and would eventually suck. What? The best way to engage your readers is to type the way you talk. Of course, eu d0 n0rt tyype liike dhis eiither, bec0s iit wld f***kiinq piss pe0ple off. D0 eu wriite and spell w0rdz liike dhis durinq dhe examz? Iie dunch thiink s0, riiqht? S0 wat iin dhe w0rld iis dhis?!?!??!?!?!?!?!? I have nothing against people who type like the above (mind you my twitting sucks so I guess the pro-twit people are wayyyy more professional about making their words illegible.) Okay, that is all I guess. I bet most of you won't even be reading this line here, because you all already scrolled down and click some other person's link right. Pshhh. \/\/ Kidding lah ^^ But trust me, those tips above really do work, yo. Okayyyy, I'll be going off to the airport in the evening, and I won't be back until next sunday! Damn, I wish I could stay in Korea and never come back here. I'm going to migrate there, I swear. I really am. Promise you guys I will bombard this blog with pictures that will make your computer hang for days, lol. I'll try to get you guys (ie close friends) something, ya? While I'm away, |
