Blogger Alec Rios provides “21 tips in sarcastic form to put a fresh spin on recycled blog teachings.” Not only hilarious, but surprisingly informative too.  My favorites on how to be the worst blogger you can be:

Let the publish button get dusty. Considering the whole idea behind blogging is making posts, the best way to blog badly is to not do that.

Remember that grammar is your enemy. Punctuation marks are just for decoration, caps lock doesn’t convey anger, apostrophes are an unnecessary stretch for your pinky, and correct spelling is just another guideline for the English language, right?

Make post titles as vague as you can. Give no clue whatsoever as to the contents of each post. You might even want to go one step further and create misleading titles that have absolutely nothing to do with the actual post.

Steer clear of other bloggers in your niche. Make no contact whatsoever with anyone who could link to you, write for you, work with you, etc. In the long run they’ll just end up sending you traffic and what not.
