Tune up your Blog...

Here are some simple ways to keep your blog as sharp and interesting to your community as possible...

1) Keep it simple.

2) Form vs. Content. Be concerned with content to make a meaningful contribution.   Not concerned with form.

3) The final look is only the icing and it is the bigger, more difficult step of problem solving (i.e., building the cake) that really matters.

4) Take too long to download? Get back to the drawing board.

5) Sounds you  rollover are funny the first three times.  They're just annoying after that.

6) Learn how to structure HTML and why it works the way it does.

7) After three seconds, someone is going to hit the back button.  So, get it on the screen instantly, and make it enchantingly interesting.

8) Get your content high on the search engine list by tweaking your META data

9) Learn and think about your net audience, then learn and think about their computers, then think again about your net audience.

10) "SIMPLICITY+SAFETY+BLATANCY=DULL WEB", thanks Eric Adigard for the formula.

Now that I think about it... We need a blog where we can all rant and rave with the foulest sailors language on the planet. Just about whatever...
