Aspirations

I would like to make my blog super legit. You know. The kind that boasts multitudinous followers, is full of spectacular photography and other interesting graphics, and is constantly both hilarious and utterly intriguing. I've been researching, and I've come up with a list of things that might make it better.

1. never capitalize anything. even when starting sentences. i am not sure i can use this particular method since improper grammar, usage, and mechanics bother me so much.

2. Use www.polyvore.com frequently. It allows people to admire your impeccable fashion taste and assume that you have enough money to purchase every article of clothing that you've combined to create an outfit. Congratulations, you have now become a fashion icon.

3. Develop your own background (preferably white with some artsy pictures) rather than use one of the several provided by blogger.com. If your background is individualized, you've proved to the world that you're both creative and technically savvy.

4. Provide links to some of your other entries, because people will stay on your page longer.

5. Center all your text. Why the heck would you follow standard writing technique when you can break the mold so easily?

6. Be able to cook and/or bake, wear cool clothes, take amazing pictures, be crafty, have some sort of unique skill, write with pithy sayings and admirable wit, be familiar with pop culture, have read all the latest best-sellers, and have all the time in the world. (This one should be easy.)

7. Have lots of friends who also enjoy blogging.

8. Be able to Google your blog and have it come up in the first five hits.

9. Be vastly intelligent.

10. Lead a generally fascinating life.


By the time I get my doctorate, win the Nobel Peace Prize, or star in the next greatest movie of all time, some of these might be doable.
