From [Rory](http://speedysnail.com/2003/09.html#victorian "speedysnail") comes the Victorian Boy’s Guide to Blogging. Go forth and read it yourself, with the first verse below to entice you:
|
||
|
||
> The nicely tended weblog
|
||
> Should every rise and ebb log
|
||
> Of its author’s ever-changing mood:
|
||
> His transient obsessions
|
||
> And Rousseau-like confessions;
|
||
> And once or twice a link just might intrude.
|
||
> Choose your subject well,
|
||
> And then proceed to tell
|
||
> Everything you know: about, say, Food.
|
||
> A dozen posts should do–
|
||
> Then on to pastures new.
|
||
> It matters not, provided it’s not lewd.
|
||
> *(What’s that? See here now, sir,
|
||
> Don’t cater to one browser;
|
||
> It doesn’t matter how on earth it’s viewed.)*
|
||
|
||
About what follows — well, let me just say that there’s a gorgeous a/nother enjambment in verse two that absolutely set my heart a-flutter.
