I’ll try to get around to this. I do love a good meme. I also enjoy metablogging.

I like the tips you’ve given. I’m clearly in the camp of ignoring the rules of “correct” writing, at least for blogging. I tend to go for a more spoken style.

I’m all for revising and careful editing, too. In fact, I’m often a very slow commenter because I do this with my comments. (And it drives me batty when I re-read them after posting, and still find errors. Ack!)

Lauredhel true, it’s temporally taxing, but sometimes it’s really beneficial and other bloggers I think could certainly benefit from the occasional revision prior to posting (present company excluded).

I find this absolutely imperative for academic writing though; if any sentence – or even a word – in a paper causes me to make a parsing error, it needs revising.

I definitely fall down in the “revise, revise, revise” stakes, perhaps because it ends up in conflict with my “Just write” tip. If I revised everything three or four times, I’d probably never end up blogging anything at all.

Oh, and I’ll do my meme this afternoon – thanks for tagging me!
