Blogcode (Part2)

As my vacation begins, boredom kicks in, in search for something better to litter blogosphere, I decided  on writing a sequel to my older post Blogcode which was my first post on this blog.
As a blog grows most some bloggers find difficulty in penning down quality content. As far as blogging goes most bloggers still maintain that content is king, which is why we see most bloggers bringing out quality content like this blog right here. ;)  This is the main focus of this edition of Blogcode.

Article 1: Lists Tags and other random stuff
If you're out of content to write, then lists provide an excellent getaway. Not any moron can write a list you know. Common lists include top 5/10/25/100 movies/ movie dialogues/ soaps/ other trivial matter that everybody cares... If you're too narcissistic then you could go about making an about me list as well since blogger does put a 1500 word limit on your about me column, you could enhance it with things I like/ hate/ don't care list. Almost all lists have a superlative label about them like the best movie dialogues or the best food I ate or something on a similar note  . We live in an era of superlatives where every advertised product claims the best in its genre, since superlatives are overused in this era, people also go about extravagantly exaggerating things, we see phrases like very unique or most excellent or extremely brilliant being used.
Tagging is a random act of kindness in blogosphere where you get to nominate bloggers other than yourself to write lists of important issues concerning the world. Almost anybody can begin the tag chain and number of bloggers tagged should grow exponentially unless someone decides otherwise.

Article 2: The Writers Block
Whether you have it or not writer's block gives you a one-time pass for writing a content less post in blogosphere. Use it carefully and do not abuse the writer's block, Bloggers Anonymous (B.A) was formed for this very purpose. For claiming the writer's block however, you should have a decent number of followers and you should have posted at least a double digit number of posts otherwise you'll end up sounding stupid. (I've been there, tried claiming writer's block with about 2 followers both of whom were my friends who ultimately asked why blog when you have the writer's block, so you see the timing of making a claim such as the writer's block is really really important).

 A new phenomenon that has surfaced in this context is the writer's clock, which  Judy Balan gracefully describes as an illness gripping writers where difficulty is encountered in bringing out reader friendly content by beating the clock.

Article 3: The Awards Galore
Awards are an excellent way to gain followers and the much needed love in Blogosphere.  A blogger award could vary from something lifted off from google image search/ someone else's blog to skillfully edited images. Awarding is also sometimes a more refined form of tagging, where the greatest of the minds in blogosphere get recogonised for their contributions. Since most of the blogosphere believes in returning a favour, you are very likely to get one back when you give one.

P.S  Another way to avoid the writer's block is to come up with a content-less post like this one ...

Blogcode 2.0

[parts 1 & 2 )

Whether we know it or not every Blogger adheres to a set of rules though none of these are stated explicitly.Blogcode 2.0 is aimed at documenting the various rules that govern the blogosphere of its blogs. It is a piece of code that was written by the very developers of blogs & blogosphere. While the etymology of the word blog dates back to the 1990s to something called weblogs, the real meaning of the word blog is still speculated.(If you’re using older versions of word or any other WYSIWYG processors pre-2007 era for that matter, you might find that the spellcheck fails to recognize this incongruous word.(As a matter of fact, spellcheck fails to recognize itself, so this may not be a bug!))
(WYSIWYG: What You See Is What You Get)
(Btw the word Blogosphere came out of the blue, it has no known meaning)

PART 1
The Quintessential cliché
Every Blogger begins his blog stating its purpose and greeting the blogosphere. It is something much similar to the ‘Hello World’ in programming. Something that has to be done, a swearing in ceremony, it is even speculated that the word blog came into existence when a very famous blogger attempted the ‘Hello World’. Most bloggers then try to explain the reason for their entry into blogosphere as boredom or choosing blogging as they have nothing better to do. Generally the first posts are the quintessential cliché’s of every blog. Much like those chick flicks that are made these days, the first blog often contains long soliloquies of a blogger often explaining the reasons for their entry in this world, where adventure is an everyday phenomenon. If you’re a newbie to the blogosphere and you desperately want to blog (obviously for unexplained reasons) you can always begin by telling boredom is the primary reason for entry into this part of the world. Even better, you might even get praised by other blogo-sapiens for your entry even though your first blog essentially contains nothing but boredom explained, it is something, generally so clichéd that you might actually get away by pasting someone else’s first blog which itself may be a metaphor for boredom explained.

PART x
Of Postscripts and Post-scripting:
If you feel that your reader’s patience wasn’t tested enough with your excellent post already, you always have post-scripts to the rescue. You can always post script your blog with something that ensures that your reader may never visit your blog again. And to further ensure that this happens you can always post-post script your blog to ensure that this process is speeded up. Please don’t go beyond an order of 3 lest only Nobel peace laureates may read your blog. Though most users claim they don’t know the actual use of this literary technique, bloggers continue to use P.S as an effective way to scare non bloggers off the blogerado.

P.S: Blogcode 2.0 is still in its development (beta) phase and further postings are required to complete this marvelous piece of code.

P.P.S: More postings to come, though this heavily depends on your support.

P.P.P.S: The above statement was false.
