And #8 is?

She has eight basic guidelines for effective blogging.

By my count there's only seven, but if the eigth one by implication is "Don't expect chicks to know math", I agree.

8. Use "cliffhangers" to keep your readers coming back for more!

I said that Elena had eight ... I may come up with more but that's all I've got for now.

All that being said, please feel free to visit my fledgling little blog. I've just recently started posting on my experiences, thoughts and reflections from my 2-day pilgrimage to EWTN and The Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament (in Alabama) after visiting family back east. The final two parts to the series will be posted by the end of this week.

:-D

I really don't check ... honestly it doesn't mean anything if you belong to any blog groups. I'm a member of ProLife Blogs and that's when the number of links to this blog went way up. No merit in it really, because many blogs link to me from that list which would never drop by for a visit.

If someone is being inappropriate and rude, delete their entries, edit them or and ban them.

Thankfully (for me), I have an override capability and you can never get rid of me! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!

Lugari,
You're gonna get beat up one day.

Julie,
Nice list!

Oh man well, I've blown this one
"Don't keep changing your URL."

Comments, yup, doing OK there. The humour's back and my drawings show plenty of slices of my life. Damn the counters, check, under control along with links to others and buttons to one thing and another. Have fun; oh thank God, I am having fun again and again it's getting back to the art and away from words words words.

Welcome back, brother!

Great list, I agree with everything you have to say

Whoa, I can't believe I just typed that.

The Ecosystem is fun but one shouldn't let it concern them too much. If you find yourself spending too much time thinking about it, drop the system. Ultimately, it doesn't mean much.

You did miss the NUMBER ONE RULE

Have a point.

Nehring, for a minute I was worried, I knew it couldn't possibly be you ... but then you cam through in the clutch! Whew!
Julie D. | Homepage | 06.21.06 - 6:47 am | #

Oh...so now she adds an eighth rule. Trying to make those of us who know how to count look bad. Well it ain't gonna work, kiddo.
Rick Lugari | Homepage | 06.21.06 - 7:45 am | #

Oh, Rick, you don't need me to make yourself look bad ...

:-D

So true... so true...
Rick Lugari | Homepage | 06.21.06 - 10:39 am | #

So, as a new blogger, this list is helpful indeed. All the rules that I will unintentionally break...

Hey Julie, thanks for the mention and for your own spin on the list. Glad everyone had so much fun with it!
