bloggingexperiment.com— I?m not sure why but Jeff Foxworthy?s ?You might be a redneck? routine always stuck with me. So, with a tip of the hat to the original, I?d like to present ?Your Blog Might Suck?.

I think that for as many times as people have pointed out the difference between 'your' and 'you're' people would've picked up on it by now. Is it anal of me to mention that? I don't know, maybe. But that's what you get when your father was an English teacher
I'm under no delusion that anyone reads my blog, but as a writer, just taking the time to write off the top of my head about ordinary things or faux reviews of things is good exercise and sometimes a good exorcism. I don't care that no one reads, but its like Christmas when someone does pop up in your comments or your e-mail saying, I'm from another country and I've been reading awhile and I like what you did there... Whoa. Good times.
From the article: If your color scheme looks like a Disney character exploded…. If you RandOmly cAPItaliZE lettERs THROUghout YOur posts… If my grandfather can take a trip the bathroom before your site loads… If you’ve never met a widget or plugin you didn’t like… If you have more ads than a Nascar race… If you update once per presidential administration…. If you think punctuation is optional… If your do-m-ai-n-na-me has more dashes than the Olympics… If you spell like an illiterate 13 yo gril trieing 2 snd a txt msg… If you tend to use big long run on sentences and never bother to break your content into paragraphs or format the text with headers or spaces or anything of the sort and would never dare to use a picture or two you know just something nice to look at thus resulting in a huge big long boring and bland block of text that could cure the worst case of insomnia just by having to look at it…. If your idea of “fair and balanced” is Fox News… If your hosting company should be doing ads for Levitra… And last but certainly not least, if you have to steal content ideas from Jeff Foxworthy…

Don't you hate it when that happens?

Buried as Inaccurate. My blog sucks but does not have any of those properties.
