Five Reasons You Should Write a Five Reasons Blog Post

Everyone loves a list, and your friendly neighbourhood Overlords are no exception to this Web 2.0 reality. Everywhere you look, someone is writing a list to tell you how to do something FREAKING AWESOME for yourself.  Good reader, we will not be left behind. Behold: Five reasons you should write a “Five Reasons” blog post.

  1. Writing a Five Reasons post demonstrates that you know your stuff. It relays in an easily-digestible list that YOU are the expert, and you care enough about the world to impart your wisdom to the masses.
  2. It’s a simple way to organize your thoughts. Everyone knows that some form of outline is the best way to get your ideas prepared for publication. A list helps compartmentalize and simplify your message.
  3. It’s nearly effortless. After all…why post a real article when you can just post an outline with some embellishment?
  4. FNORD.
  5. Sometimes, you cannot think of anything better to write. I mean, really. They cannot all be gems. See?

    Point #5 was your best…

    (Ha, look at me…I don’t even know you for but 2 hours of chatting with you as I meet my new [literally] next door neighbor, and I already find out that you are a geek, play board games, would like to start a 4E campaign, and wear retro-Atari shirts and Green Lantern atire. I feel like I have known you for nearly 2 days, rather than just a few hours. Bizzare, indeed.)
