Due to the popularity of last week's "Top Three Things I Look For In a Second Life Blogger's Post", I'm going to try an experiment inspired by one of my favorite TV shows, Kitchen Nightmares. Here's how it works:
- If you're a Second Life blogger, send me the URL of a post of yours you want to improve, to become more readable, provoke more thoughtful discussion across the blogosphere, and attract more page views. (Or if that applies to your whole blog, just post that URL.)
- I'll select one of those URLs, link to it, and provide a point-by-point suggestion list of how it might be better.
- When the selected blogger fixes their post or blog along the lines I suggested, I'll link to the new and improved version.
Disclaimer: I'm not a top blogger the way Gordon Ramsay is a world class chef. However, I do promise to be way less of a raging freak than Ramsay. That said, what blog or post do you want to improve?
I think improving a blog is great and all, but you should spend time on a charitable cause if you really want to make a difference.

First step, do not spam reviewer because you have a bad link in your submittal!

Don't you think that a greater part of the charm of the blogosphere derives from the individual approach that each blogger takes to his or her craft?

I would, but I can't - mine's perfect and all shinny like.
