Out of “Theme” Post
Posted by Cap in Updates |The last post was pretty depressing—at least to me anyway. Oh well, too late now. You can only delete so many post per year.
Was reading Blogging for Dummies (no joke) and it talked about transparency in blogging, how you should leave your mistake and correct it in a tasteful fashion. Seems pretty wacky but their point is understandable.
One of the suggested method is the often seen strike-through, like so: I’m super hot, SMRT, and have a blog with consistent topics I’m stupid.
Edit: Nevermind. Screw transparency! This is my blog, dammit. Looking at that post makes me depressed, so it’s not gonna show up as a published post anymore! Bwahaha.

I actually saw Blogging for Dummies in Barnes the other day. Meh, life is just depressing sometimes.

the book’s not so bad, actually. I might write a review on it? but yeah, bleh.

Is there a subject for “Dummies” that hasn’t been covered yet? And, those books are expensive too!

hmm I never actually bought one so I didn’t realize they were expensive. saw it on the new books shelf at the library and grabbed it.

I’m a writer myself, and I’ve been ingrained with the idea of always presenting your best writing. Putting it out there with strike-throughs and corrections? Whatever for? I wouldn’t read a magazine or a book if it were full of strike-throughs and corrections. Sounds like someone’s pet idea rather than a general rule.

I think what the author meant was to use strike-throughs to correct mistakes in posting news and information. I see a lot of blogs using the method to correct minor mistakes, so I think it’s pretty common?
