How to write an article: a guide for bloggers

Are you a blogger? Sure you are. Everybody has a blog, except for Noel Weyrich. And sometimes bloggers get to write articles in print or online publications that actually pay them. (Sometimes people get paid to blog, too, though we’ve been told those are just rumors.)

Anyway, I’ve put together a little guide to what you should reference in your article:

• Reference blogging: “With snark like that, you’d think Ebert were a blogger.” Check.
• Bash the (evil tone) mainstream media: “Glenn ‘Hurricane’ Schwartz and his ‘team coverage’ on NBC 10 were all going, ‘It’s going to get even hotter!’ — you could actually hear the exclamation points…” Check.
• Write a name you can’t pronounce: “Saparmurat Niyazov.” Check.
• Write about it on your blog: Check.
