My intent here, with The Random Rebel Coffee Blog, is to post daily, at about the same time everyday, for Mom’s Coffee Break. We all need to take one everyday, whether we are working outside the home or at home (like me).
I invite anyone and everyone to join me anytime to take a few minutes, to chat about whatever is on our minds, just as we would if we were next-door neighbors or friends who talk on the phone everyday.
I welcome Comments and interaction, and the reason I am moving my blog platform (from Squarespace.com to WordPress) is to make it easier for Readers to Comment and get involved in the conversation. (Please bear with me, while I make my way through this transformation. I am essentially a non-techie, working my way through new stuff, step by step.)
Today’s post, since I have been distracted cleaning bathrooms and what-not:
Random Rebel Blog Basics:
#1 – Posts should be short (100 – 200 words), interesting, not completely self-absorbed or self-serving.
#2 – Ideally, there should be more tips, quick lists, pictures and images than long, rambling paragraphs. (I have to work on pics & images — the technical mechanics of that.)
#3 – Content is Queen, and advertising should be subtle, but provide revenue to support the Community (which is good). Any advertising should be directly relevant to the content, useful to the Reader if he/she is looking for more information on the topic.
#4 – The Blog should be INTERACTIVE — coffee break/water cooler interaction. Please join in with your comments and links!
#5 – There will be NO SPAM or verbal abuse — Zero Tolerance, at my discretion. Because I am The Queen, dammit! (Profanity, on occasion, may be acceptable, perhaps even necessary for emphasis or effect. As I tell my kids when they catch me spicing it up once in a while: Those are 18-year-old words, never to be used in the presence of your Mother. So, as long as you are over the age of 18, and you are not in the presence on your Mother…I will not bitch about it.)
