So after a lot of procrastination and pressure…we have decided to make our first post on our blog we created several months ago...it remains to be seen how many other posts should follow. We have decided it will be a team effort so you will occasionally here from me or Katie depending on who has the time or something to say.
We will try our best to follow standard blog protocol (as we have been able to observe) but we may miss something. Here is a “Top Ten” list of “blog etiquette” that we have been able to compile in preparation for our launch:
10) Come up with a witty title for you blog…first impressions are very important.
9) Find a quote that sums up the purpose of your blog.
8) Comment…if you read someone’s blog, you better comment.
7) Pictures, pictures, pictures….Post at least one picture with each post…this captures the attention of your reader and pulls them in.
6) Come up with a clever way to describe yourself and your family.
5) Occasionally post a video as this will be a special treat for your readers.
4) Post regularly…people look forward to your post almost as much as they look forward to the new season of “The Office”.
3) Music…add your favorite music so that when someone opens your blog while on the phone or at work, they have to scramble for the mute button.
2) Talk about your kids…Kids are more interesting anyways and when you brag about your kids, it’s not frowned upon.
1) Mention how much laundry you have to do…this makes those that are reading your blog, instead of getting their stuff done, feel better.
Ready or not, here we go....

Love the top ten... too true!
"It's funny because it's true"... off to a great start.
Thanks for the tips. I will keep them in mind. Wouldn't want to upset the wagon.
