A Rare Bird, A Strange Duck, One Funky Blog

random thought of the moment:

People hired by government know who is their benefactor. People who lose their jobs or fail to get them because of the government program do not know that that is the source of their problem. The good effects are visible. The bad effects are invisible. The good effects generate votes. The bad effects generate discontent, which is as likely to be directed at private business as at the government. — Milton Friedman

Blogging 101

September 5th, 2004 by Funky Dung

Simon World has a great post on the basics of blogging. If you're looking for a text book treatment, look somewhere else. If you want boot camp, this might be more your style. Jollyblogger sums it up well:

"[H]e's got a lot of good tips and it is worth your while to read this thing and follow his advice. Well, follow his advice, but I think it goes without saying that those of us in the Blogdom of God don't want to be following his advice to talk about our sex lives or use porn to attract visitors."

If you've been thinking about blogging, but want to know what you're getting into first, give "Everything you wanted to know about blogging but were afraid to ask" a read. You'll either want to start a blog ASAP or be scarred for life.
