    Kind of like the universal laws of physics. Here are the laws every blogger should know:

    1. Nobody wants to read your blog.
    2. 95% of bloggers are illiterate.
    3. Yes, the top blog spam garbage makes money (digg etc.) But do not quit your day job because, honey, you ain't gonna make no money. The days when "AllAdvantage" paid you to surf your computer are over.
