video–gamed to idiocy


I just read this phrase in a review of a review of book on how to write weblogs. Like, there's a book on this? But I love the prhase.


Said this, too:
"Readers crave your anecdotes and stories. They really do. So give ‘em the whole megillah. Instead of, “The party was a riot!” or “I’m depressed today,” carefully explain why. Elaborate. Parties and depression are perfectly good writing subjects. The Great Gatsby, for instance, has plenty of both."


I'm not convinced. How much of a blog is catharsis, personal interest, entertainment?. If I had the time/inclination/skills, I'd write a little script that gave you a C/P/E grading. I guess I'm 33/33/33... always pretty evenly balanced, me.
