Tom Davenport’s post on how to write good comments on blogs applies equally to blogging itself. Here’s the summary:

  1. A dash of brevity.
  2. A heaping tablespoon of clear and grammatical expression.
  3. A pinch of humor. 
  4. A teaspoon of personal context. 
  5. A scant cup of nicety. 
  6. A seasoning of structure.

    Good advice, especially the brevity part. The grammatical thing is a lost cause, lol. I would have responded to this earlier, but haven’t had time to look at facebook for several days.
