Fix Your Blog

Hello!

               I realize that I’m going to be kind of ranty in this post, but that’s okay, because if you don’t like it then you can GET OFF MY LAWN. But I’ve been reading some blogs lately, mostly because my teacher required that we read and comment on some of our classmates’ blogs. And I’ve noticed a lot of stuff that just bugs me about some of the blogs I’ve seen. Easy stuff, that’s easy to fix and requires just an extra minute or two of your time – which isn’t much when you’re doing these blogs for a grade.

               One of the biggest things that bugs me is when people use their blogs as a diary. I mean, occasionally throwing in a post or two about something cool that happened to you over the weekend is fine. But making every single one of your posts go something like “ER MER GERD I WENT TO THE MALL THIS FRIDAY AND BOUGHT SOME CUTE SHEWS, AND, LIKE, ER MER GERD THERE WAS THIS CEWT GUY WORKING AT THE REGISTER, LIKE, LULZ,” is not acceptable. No one wants to hear that crap from their best friend, but they especially don’t want to hear it from someone they’re barely acquainted with.

               Another thing, you’ve got to learn to use punctuation, as well as paragraphs. You see if you dont use any sort of punctuation your sentences can get pretty annoying I realize that some of you guys are doing your blogs from your phone which is okay but still use punctuation or I will find you. And paragraphs are things too. I mean, you’ve got to use them. They help break up your blog post or else it becomes one giant, monotonous block of text that no one wants to read. It is visually unappealing, and no one wants an ugly blog.

               So, in conclusion, make your blog awesome. Use those things like your mama tought you. Really. Periods, question marks, APOSTROPHES. You have to use them, because these blogs are for AP Lang, and the point is to make you write better. That starts at home, with your blog. If you use them in your blog, your other writing will get better, too. I guarantee it. And you can always get your money back if this post doesn’t work to your full satisfaction.
