First Soldier: …and they call this darn thing SAFETY PIN? You’d think if it works OK on baby diapers it
should work on this grenade too. How did I lose the original? Darn, this thing is slippery…oops….

2nd Soldier (facing the First): What now…? I hope he’s not doing what I think he’s doing…

3rd Soldier (also facing First Soldier):No…..no…..NOOOO!

THE BLOG IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (B.I.P.)

Whether it’s for digital journaling, community building, or information sharing, blogs are here to stay, and the Internet is better for it. The Blog Improvement Project (B.I.P.) is designed to help – dare I say it – the blogosphere – get better through encouragement and constructive feedback. The rules are simple:

1. Choose someone’s (a friend’s) weblog and copy and paste this entire message. For numbers 2-4 below, change your entries as necessary.

2. Indicate what is good about his/her blog:
REGULARLY UPDATED, VARIED CONTENT. I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE PHOTO CAPTION CONTEST AND THE RECIPES! SARAP!

3. Give constructive feedback on how you think his/her blog could be better:
WRITE MORE POETRY BECAUSE SHE’S GOOD AT IT!

4. Indicate where you are in the chain by adding +1 to this number: 1

5. Add your blog URL to the list at the end of this message

6. If you’ve received this already, write back to whoever gave it to you so he/she could send it to someone else….even a stranger’s blog. Remember to send it to ONLY ONE BLOG.

7. If your blog is # 10 or 100 or 1,000 or 10,000 or 100,000 or 1,000,000, or 10,000,000 and so on – in the chain (see #4 above), then drop a quick comment in the blog that started the B.I.P. – http://blogimprovementproject.wordpress.com . You can drop in and make a comment anytime, too.
