Desiderata for Bloggers

I found a reference to this bit of Blogging Brilliance over on raincoaster. It is too good not to repeat.

I have had a copy of the original since the 1970’s. Yes, I was alive then, I just don’t remember those years.

I even have Les Crane’s vocal version somewhere in my mp3 files.

Stumble aimlessly amid the trolls and waste, but remember what peace there be in staring at your toes for a couple of weeks. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all readers. Publish your posts quietly and clearly, and listen to podcasts, even the dull and garbled, for they too have a right to hog bandwidth. Avoid loud and aggressive bloggers. They are pains in the ass.

Get over to Ian’s blog and read the rest.

Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant.

    it is a satire of genius

  2. Love it, stealing it . . .

    pretty irresistible, isn’t it!

  3. [...] first seen over at Archie’s ~ [...]

  4. Is he not absofarkinglutely brilliant? I’m not sure I can live up to the part about the podcast, but what the hell. It’s worth trying.

    I enjoy “take-offs” but never before have I found one which equals or possibly betters, the original. Now that I am broadbanded, I can begin listening to, and contributing podcasts to the blogipelago
