Secrets to Great Blogging

Yup, I know it isn't anything much, but I have figured out the secrets to being a great blogger.  And the best part is that I am going to share it with you because we are friends, and some day I will expect you to share something with me in return. Got it?
Honey, it's not a secret if you post it openly on the internet.

Secret 1. The trick to becoming a great blogger is being impressive.  That is all you have to do.  Now there are two ways to go about doing this: the hard way and my way.  The hard way is not for most people  To impress people the hard way you need to have genuinely creative input and interesting topic matter along with a well developed style of writing. Let's face it, I mean let's be serious, who wants to put in all the work necessary into creating original, creative, and interesting content? Not you, and certainly not me. 
That is why I developed a much more realistic way to keep readers impressed.  The best way to get someone to be impressed is by exceeding their expectations. That's all there is too it. Brilliant right? And the best way to exceed expectations is by keeping their expectations as low as possible all the time.
So aim to right mildly entertaining posts of a semi or pseudo-informative manner.  This will get your readers to think nearly nothing of you, and then you will have them exactly where you want them.  

Secret 2. Pretend to have an extensive knowledge about whatever the heck you want to act smart about. Most the time someone comes across a blog or webpage it is because they are looking to find information.  The kind of information that they don't have any working knowledge of.  This means you can say whatever you want, and they will eat it up because they aren't very smart, and don't really know what they are looking for.
Now even if you do have an extensive knowledge of all the things you write about. You should still stretch the truth anyway, you know, just for fun.

Secret 3. Use big words.  Readers love to feel like they are smart. To make your audience feel special use words they can't understand.
