More Words from Letters
If you haven’t read Desiderata for bloggers yet then please do.
“Said to have been discovered in a Baltimore church cellar in 1692, actually penned in 1927 and cranked out decades later on fake parchment to adorn the bedroom walls of millions of kids like me who came of age in the seventies, Desiderata is a modern junk classic, its bite-sized peace ‘n’ love wisdom wedges one of the last twitches of a sixties generation that had already begun to trade its tie-dyed shirts and cut-offs for leisure suits and MBAs. With bloggers having cut themselves off into their own little world so far they even rate their very own health tips, comes a new Desiderata.”
For Bloggers only.
If you haven’t read The 20 Blogging Commandments then read them before you leave the site.
“And so it came to pass that in the realm of blogging, its participants paused for five nanoseconds five short months ago to contemplate the arrival of Letters Home to You. Its author has now unexpectedly unearthed a long-lost fragment of the WordPress Blogging Bible, which he now realizes would have been a great help to a first-time blogger undertaking this most difficult of tasks. He now passes it on to you, in the hope it will be of some use. “

These are absolutely great. I especially liked the desiderata for bloggers, which I think would be more aptly titled “blogiderata”. :)

Letters is a talented writer, for sure. I’m still chuckling when I remember both of these posts.
