How to write a blog

Here are a few guiding principles (the ten commandments of blogging):


1. First read a book on how to write and don’t rely on web entries like this one.

2. Don’t write a blog at all. You keep ending up reading your follower statistics too often and lose your self-respect after a while.

3. Write about the Baurnbergpark or the Bauernbergpark Man as often as possible.

4. Don’t reveal your identity. Just wait until people queue up in the Bauernberpark to watch you and your dog go past to see how you really look like.

5. Irritate people by writing about as many topics as possible, even in one entry if possible. That avoids boring your audience.

6. Change occasionally to a sort of meta-narrative, talking about your blog or talking about your own stories. That irritates people even more.

7. Incorporate words like terror attack, Djihad, president and so on in close proximity to each other to attract at least the attention of the NSAs or of similar institutions.

8. Some name dropping like “Aristotle said…” or “I don’t like Descartes, because…” is also very important.

9. Use black background and white print until someone says: That hurts my eyes. Then you have achieved one of the bloggers’ holy goals: to have impact

10. Blog on
