Found this funny category in someone’s blog, someone who I don’t know. He categorizes prioritized, numbered articles in their own special category. It struck me as an idea for a blog. Everyday, take one of those articles that are the 10 things everyone should know, or the 7 things they don’t want you to know, or the 8 ways to drastically improve your whatnot, and link to it, but with a bullet list that has a maximum three word summary of each item. Dear reader, why trouble yourself with event reading the article? Have someone read it for you. Oddly, the authors of these articles would probably appreciate the incoming traffic.
