Here are ten excellent tips for people who write for the web. They’re very right on (even if I violate #2 regularly – I really should blog more consistently).

reading your blog is fun
finding it not updated is disappointing
Great tips Leo. I was following some without knowing it and not following others. Thanks.
Wow. That’s a great site. Thanks for letting me know about it, Leo. It’s perfect for a website tyro like me.
#11. Don’t make #1 so wordy! Write for a shorter reason, lol!
Ok, Leo—let’s see some more #8!!
I try consistantly to write each day.. =) -Frisco
Also, I disagree somewhat with #10. Understanding that minor errors will occur, multiple spelling and grammatical errors are distracting.
I’m baffled that Leo receives so few comments in his blog, when Cat and Morgan receive hundreds after each entry!
I won’t speculate why…
I don’t think I could ever comply with rule #8.
Thanks Leo for the helpful site. I watch the Screen Savers everyday & just found your blog. You are just as funny here as you are on the show. Thanks for all the info you give out on a daily basis. Have a Great & Groovy Day!

Interesting read Léo! Thanks for sharing. I too need to improve on #2. I don’t think I’ve ever done #8 in my LJ though.
No worries, Leo. I still check your blog every day.
Leo,
On your next report card, I’m happy to report that your rating on question # 2 will move from “Needs Improvement” to a solid “Meets Expectations”.
Keep up the great work!
Those are great tips. Thanks for posting them. As for your comments about bloging, I know what you mean. Unfortunately, I have the same problem with blogging, I do not do it enough either. However,I am going to try and follow these tips. Thanks again.
It’s kind of like Prime Minister’s Question Time, we’ve all been around here so much, he knows what we’re going to say before we say it….
