Blues for Bloggers
When Bob Edwards first stole my idea to create a blog for the Comedy Corner Underground, the Internet was a rumor, and as arcane a concept as blogging seemed to have few practical applications outside America’s manned space program.
Since that time, blogging seems to have pervaded virtually every corner of the blogosphere, even contributing its share of original terms to the English language (or, should I say, blanguage?).
Leave it to the CCUG to jump on a dying trend!
As a first-time blogger, I feel I’m in the perfect position to offer some advice to other prospective blauthors.
The second rule of blogging—I forget the first one—is to be organized. Or, to put in blogspeak, blorganized. Choose a blopic, and stick to it! And if you can’t do that, divide your thoughts into distinct blaragraphs, even if they’re only one or two blentences.
Blogging can be a great way to promote your blomedy or follow your favorite blomics.
I sort of envisioned this as a one-shot deal, but there’s talk of featuring various Comedy Corner Underground regulars here as guest bloggers. Still, I’m honored to have been the first.
In fact, it’s been more than an honor. It’s been a blinconvenience.
