Make me into a classy dame, Edmonton
Look, I have something of a secret to confess. I don’t partake in the arts all that much.
Sure, I catch a band here and there, see something at the Fringe, I even talk about the new art gallery. All the time. But I don’t really head out to the theatre, opera or high-arts much. Or at all. I make up for my lack of culture with delicious sarcasm.
This is why I need your advice, Edmonton. I’m heading to the symphony this Saturday (for Broadway Rocks) and I don’t know what to wear, how I should act, or anything else that might end up being pertinent.
All advice is welcome. Make me into a beautiful swan. (Or at least a guy who won’t make an ass of himself at a classy joint.)

Dear schmedmonschmonian,
The ugly truth is…that i don’t know the first thing about blogging. So, to help you with your quest, I employed an age-old, time-honored method for finding much-needed information: I Googled it.
See? Real website.
Now, admittedly, I became a little distracted when Google suggested similar searches, like ‘Successful Blonds’ and I discovered that there is an ENTIRE WEBSITE dedicated to this subject. However, eventually i got down to business and found a couple blog articles you might find helpful. they are:
http://www.avivadirectory.com/successful-blog-launch/
http://www.problogger.net/archives/2009/06/10/successful-blogging/
Ironically, the first link, about how to launch a successful blog, had crashed by the time I sat down to write this. But when I first found it, it worked for several whole minutes, and though it seemed a little technical for me, it may be useful for your purposes.
Understand, I’m a little old school and have yet to completely embrace the wonderful world of the internet (to drive my point home, I should tell you that i still use the yellow pages…yes, the paper ones).
