Exposing The BS Around The Globe

Women probably have a better understanding of presentation than any other being on two legs! Apart from taking a great deal of time making sure they look just right, they won’t really look at you unless you’ve taken some pride in your own appearance.

The Importance Of Presentation

 You’re walking down the mall and you come across two shops selling basically the same things. One is dark and dingy the other bright and inviting, which one do you walk in?

 The election in which Barack Obama won by a landslide. Sure he was the most likely choice but don’t you think a lot had to do with his presentation? The way he spoke to the people. The way he presented himself, his views for his country and its people, compared to Palin and McCain.

 When going to a job interview if two applicants have the same qualifications and one walks in with a suit and tie and the other in jeans and t-shirt, who do you think will get the job?

You get my drift? The same thing applies to blogs and to the posts within those blogs. This is why it is so important to make sure that both your blog and your posts have a good presentation. As far as the blog itself is concerned it will depend largely on the theme you’ve selected and the way you have structured your plugins, ads and other paraphernalia that appear on your blog.

Where themes can be a little difficult to control, posts are something that every blogger has control over. I admit that I am the perpetual Lazy Blogger but I still take the time to take care of the blogging essentials which are.

Grab Their Focus: A lot of blogs are really ‘busy’ in that they have so much stuff on the front page the reader doesn’t know where to look. Catchy titles and sometimes even an image can draw there attention right where you want it, at the beginning of your post.

Punctuation and Grammar: i can’t believe that there are still bloggers out there who do not pay attention to this simple rule i hate it when i see a blog whose owner hasn’t taken the time to capitalize letters use commas and full stops they don’t even bother to use paragraphs or do a spill chek

Structure: The structure of your post is very important, especially for those longer posts. Breaking your posts into sections will make it easier for people to digest what you are saying. One section should flow seamlessly into the next and titling each section will highlight the points you are trying to get across.

Blog With Authority: Don’t pussy foot around. Your posts have to show the reader that you know what you are talking about. No ifs or buts. This is especially true if you are trying to sell something, whether it’s an affiliate you are marketing or just an idea you want to get across. This is a lot easier if you believe in what you are promoting. Half of your battle is won if you can get your enthusiasm of a product, service or idea across to your reader.

Proof Read: This is really essential. What’s the point of coming up with a brilliant post if there are errors everywhere. Failure to do this will only show the reader your lack of care which will ultimately result in them thinking that your not all that serious about what you are saying.

Keep To The Point: Changing the subject mid stride and waffling about something else can cause the reader to lose interest and go elsewhere for intellectual stimulation. The only time you should do this is if you are trying to illustrate a point, but please let the reader know your intention.

Don’t Bullshit: No kidding, if you crap on long enough they are going to find out and once they do they won’t be coming back in a hurry. Honesty is definitely the best policy if you want to be a successful blogger.

Keep It Short: This is a personal favorite of mine, possibly because of me being the lazy blogger but there is a method to my madness. Too long a post puts me off as I find it harder to grasp and a lot easier to forget. I prefer to keep my posts short and if I have a lot to cover I simply split it into several posts. Yeah, I know, I stuffed up on this post but then those who know me will tell you this post is way longer than what I would normally post.

The presentation of this post was only possible because of the Thesis Theme!

The election is over, and we have entered a new era where we have the first African American President of the United States. I am sure that everyone hopes and prays that he is the answer to all the world’s woes, but let’s not put too much pressure on just one man.

Still, it has been a hectic ride on the election campaign for all those involved and now that it all over I thought I would post this little humorous clip on the campaign that just was.

I hope you enjoyed that election highlight jam from Michael Gregory and Michael Stevens!

Yep, that is exactly how they promote this so called “Australia’s Most Famous Tuesday.” It occurs every year on the first Tuesday in November and has been doing so ever since 1877. It’s so important that they have made it a public holiday in Melbourne and the only ones going to work are the poor bloody horses.

So let’s think about it, does the nation actually stop because of a damn horse race? Are you kidding, Aussies aren’t that stupid. Yet there are a hell of lot of Aussies that will stop what they are doing to see which nag actually wins, so much so that it amazes me. These are some of the things that have been reported to happen due to this so called important race.

• Patients who have been waiting for years for elective surgery have canceled appointments because it fell on Melbourne cup day.
• Doctors stop in the middle of surgical procedures to watch the race. One doctor actually sewed his winning ticket into a patient.
• Police in hot pursuit let the criminal get away in order to catch the race at the nearest pub.
• Normal people tear their hair out because there is nothing on TV except BS about Melbourne Cup Day
• Women from all over converge at the Flemington Race track with the most outrageous hats and outfits and have the audacity to call it fashion
• Teachers bring TV’s to school so that they can watch the race during their class
• Judges call for an adjournments
• The pubs and restaurants make big bucks fleecing their patrons by hosting Melbourne Cup luncheons.
• A lot of people lose big bucks
• Some people make big bucks

Personally I think its all a pile of BS and the Nation certainly does not stop just because of a stupid horse race. Everything goes on as normal unless you live in Melbourne that is.

I’m sure I am not the only one that feels that the Melbourne Cup is a load of bull. Leave a comment if you either agree or disagree.

Another really funny email joke but a word of warning, it does contain some profanity, so if you can’t handle that, don’t bloody well read it.

Paddy has broken his leg and his mate Mick goes round to see him.

Mick says ‘how you doin?’

Paddy says ‘do us a favour, nip upstairs and get my slippers, my feet are freezing.’

Mick goes upstairs and sees Paddy’s two gorgeous 19-year-old twin daughters
sitting on the bed.

He says ‘your dads sent me up here to shag the both of you ‘ .

They say ‘get away with ya.. prove it.’

Mick shouts downstairs ‘Paddy, both of em?’

Paddy shouts back ‘of course both of em, what’s the point of just F#ckin one one?’

I'd love a beer, & that's no bull!
