Blog Reading Advice

I would recommend avoiding all weblogs with the following attributes:

1. Excessive use of the exclamation point in the title e.g. "I love my cat!!!"

2. Any zany use of the up and down caps e.g. mY cRaZy FuCkEd uP lIfE.

3. Any use of the word "Rocks" or "RAWKS" in the title.

I confess. Sometimes I use "rawks." That's only so I can help my readers distinguish that I mean "that was really great" and not "look, there's a rock." (giggles).

I hear ya...
As much as I love punctuation (it comes in handy when trying to separate phrases and clauses), excessive punctuation is just annoying, unless you really, truly mean it.

That said, I love your blog!!

p.s. Another thing to watch out for would be a blog/website with too many scrollbars in the middle of the page. Having to scroll all over the place is the absolute worst thing ever on any website. Why not just have an extra page, or place the content a little further down? Why have 5 scrollbars where one will do?

I would also suggest avoiding the words Diva, Bitch, and people who describe themselves as sarcastic or "hating stupid people."

I do my best to avoid use of exclamation points in my blog at almost all costs. If anything, when writing personal emails etc i only use lower case letters even when saying names such as pauly or california LOL. And I have never been in a situation where I have rocked or RAWKED.

Please note the emergency exits are here, here and here, and we hope you will fly with chunukbair blogs again :)
