In other blog news, have you noticed that Google Reader has added a “Like” option?


I’m sure they did this a long time ago and I just recently noticed it. I’ve also noticed that nobody has ever clicked the “like” button on any of my posts. Anyway, I think I like the Facebookification of Google Reader. Of course, like Facebook, they don’t have a “dislike” option. Which is okay, I guess, cause we don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.

And since I'm blogging about blogging, not too long ago Avitable posted his "Rules For Blogging." Since then I've seen a number of other people post theirs. So, I figured what the hell, I'll do mine.

1. These are MY rules. Not rules I'm trying to push on you. Quit being so God Damned defensive all the time.

Okay, that wasn't really my first rule. But, I had to put that up there because I know there will be SOMEBODY who will make some whiney-ass comment about not knowing there were rules or some stupid shit like that.

1. I will almost never post more than once a day.
2. If I have nothing to post, I won't post anything. I'll never put up a post that says "I don't have anything to post."
3. I can't possibly comment on everybody's blog every single day. When I don't comment on yours, don't take it personally.
4. If you post multiple times a day *looks at Gary*, I will probably only comment once. That doesn't mean I won't read the other posts, I just won't be likely to comment on all of them.
5. If you truncate your posts in reader, then I'm less likely to comment everyday. And, if you truncate posts in reader, and post multiple posts per day, then I'm probably only going to read the one post that I comment on.
6. If you make it hard for me to comment, I'll be much less likely to comment. So, if you use a comment system that takes extra effort, or doesn’t work in all browsers, then don’t whine if I don’t comment that often.
7. I cuss. I'm not writing for the NY Times or whatever. I will not be censored. If my language bothers you, then you will have make a decision as to whether or not you continue to read my blog. I won't take it personally or hold it against you.
8. If anything I write here causes you to get your panties in a wad, then get over it. If you have a serious disagreement with me, or what I write, feel free to articulate your disagreement either in comments or via email. Don't run to your blog and write one of those childish "Some bloggers ... blah blah blah" posts.
9. If you take every single thing I say here seriously, then I can't help you. If you've been here a while you know that I'm sarcastic and like to mock people. Believe me, there won't be anything written here aimed specifically at another blogger.
10. If I'm making fun of people you like, or people who you agree with politically or anything like that, then grow up and realize that we all have our own beliefs and opinions.
11. I will not reply to your blog post via Twitter or Facebook. I might refer to it if I have already commented, but I won't not comment and then say "Good post!" or something else lazy via Twitter or Facebook.
12. I try to reply to all comments, but I'm not very good at doing that. But, I assure you I have read them, and very much do appreciate your taking the time to comment.
13. If you stop visiting my blog, it's very possible that I'll stop visiting yours. Or I will stop commenting. If you haven't come by my blog in a couple of weeks, don't send me an email asking why I haven't come by and commented on your blog.
14. If I consider you a "blog" or "online" friend, then I consider you a "real" friend.
15. If occasional photos of cheerleaders or very attractive females in skimpy outfits, but never nude, bother you, then you've come to the wrong place.


16. But, I will never post nudity or porn here.
17. If you consider pics of women in skimpy clothing "porn" then well, that's your somewhat narrow minded opinion.
18. Just like David Letterman, I have and will continue to have sex with members of the Staff of Cynical_Bastard.
19. I will delete comments that I believe are offensive or racist or bigoted, or any comment that personally attacks another commenter.
20. Since I put this list of rules together in about 20 seconds, I reserve the right to modify, add to, break or selectively enforce any of these rules on a daily basis.
