First, I must gather the smelling salts. Next I must gently shake this blog and softly call it’s name, Hannihaus, Hannihaus. Then I must gently pinch the bridge of its nose, armpit or earlobe. (FYI, I will likely choose the armpit because that’s a hilarious place to pinch).

… And then, when all this fails to bring responsiveness, I will take a sabbatical from obsessively watching House on DVD to implement the following:

Concise Posts
My favorite blogs rarely employ more than a few paragraphs per story. These posts are short, like my attention span. I’d elaborate further but I forgot what we’re talking about.

Topic-Based Writing
In blogging, as it is with the aged, it used to be that blathering on about the mundane of everyday life was de rigueur. Now, it’s de rigmarole. Hot blogs today focus on select topics like parenting, cooking, finances, or fashion. Keeping with this New Blog Order, I too will write about those things with which I am expert … things like the mundane of everyday life.

Pretty Pictures
The best blogs include pictures in their posts. I’m going to improve this junk right now.

Look here is a picture of me smooching Sphynx who is, decidedly, disgusted.

And here’s a picture of my niece eating spaghetti.

And here’s a unicorn.

I think you will agree, these pics are all very magical.

And regarding my last post, it’s a good thing I don’t smoke–I’m not much of a quitter.
