Top 9 Things I've learned from reading blogs

1. Always use lists with strange numbers, people like them more than regular numbers, such as 10 or 15.
2. Anyone can write a blog, anyone can make up credentials. Choose carefully who you trust.
3. The terms “linchpin” and “lizard brain” are used without explanation across all blog genres. (If you were like me and want to know where they came from check out sethgodin.typepad.com)
4. How to make gluten-free lemon poppy seed muffins. glutenfree.wordpress.com/2008/04/27/gf-luscious-lemony-poppy-seed-muffins
5. Many people can criticize, very few choose to create.  (People tend to be especially mean hearted when they don’t have to show their face.)
6. Many ordinary people are extraordinarily talented.
7. Nobody likes the grammar police, but they’re still out there policing anyway.
8. Animal videos are always adorable.
9. Reading blogs by and about your friends is as good as blog reading gets.
