Amateur Hour

15 Oct

While I am not perfect when it comes to publishing my blog, the blogger movement at large has created a great deal of useless information. (I know, huge surprise…) One of the major problems with the internet in general is the immediacy of it. Unlike print publishing, all you have to do is click “publish” in your favorite blogging interface and walk away. Fix it later, when you catch the mistakes, right? Or even better – use the public as your proof reader. Reading blogs is like slogging through a massive fan-zine bin. Perhaps one day, some industrious programmer can develop a web app that “translates” some nitwit’s blog from unreadable dross to a concise, informative document. Google? Any plans for this?

Have a look at this excerpt from a “web designer” tip source blog. Is it really that laborious to type two more letters to finish words like “you” or use a fucking spell check? This type of lazy writing raises my hackles. I’m not even going to attack the grammar. Jesus… I’d pick the entire paragraph apart, but we’d be here all day.

It is the most important part which we neglect while publishing a post. Lets take a simple example. I am about ot publish a post lets say.

So get rid of 10 , and from your URL. Here is how they should be:
