Alright, it’s time for some honesty on my part. I wasn’t satisfied by the number of comments on my last ‘Keaton On’ post, so I’ve decided to put my life on the line and go on a serious first-to-palm (see what I did there?) Pre-bash-athon.

For you, loyal reader, it hopefully means more and better posts. I haven’t been doing a stupefyingly stellar job as of yet, but I hope I can get off my hiney and actually get to work now.

The other half, of course, is so those posts suck even less than they do now when they come under my nose for review. Now, on to the suckitude, and how to prevent it.
These are actually inspired by a journalism class I took last semester. Many of the concepts transfer easily to blogging, so it wasn’t too much work to come up with this simple set of guidelines.
