Blogging etiquette

Since people like to talk about blogging responsibly, here's my easy guide for n00bies on blogging etiquette:

  1. Always bow before you blog.
  2. When you blog, do remember that the knife goes in the right hand, and the fork in the left.
  3. Always end your posts with "thank you, it's been wonderful talking to all of you. Godspeed."
  4. Polite bloggers NEVER use the words "asshat" or "aardvark". Whether "sexy motherf***er" can be said in polite company remains a matter of much contention. Particularly on the question of how to pronounce asterisks.
  5. The proper way to end a first blog is with a little kiss. No tongue.
  6. And, especially, no tongue down there.
  7. Remember, if you forget which keys to use, a simple little memory trick is that you should start from the outside and work your way inside. Hence, posts like "poiuy!" are the height of decorum.
  8. When someone visits your blog, be sure to offer drinks.
  9. If you are a male blogger and said visitor is female, please remember to raise your hat when the visitor enters your blog.
  10. Yes, you must have a hat.

Thank you. It's been wonderful talking to all of you. Godspeed.

    12. The responsible blogger will assure that all personal protective equipment meets current guidelines and is worn properly.

    I do wear a hat, but my not wearing pants is okay, right?

    Hmm. Pants are often extraneous, in any case, so indeed, one is encouraged to be as pantsless as often as is deemed possible.
