I think I'll go remove it now. This article was a great read, and as Scot Smith said it really got me thinking about MBL widget. I think I’ll go remove it now.

If you're site is too cluttered people won't care what you've written they'll leave right away. However if you don't have any content people won't stay and definitely won't come back to your site so having a nice design is useless. You need to have the perfect combination of design and content to get people wanting more. Great article!!

But thanks Axil for finding those. On my own blog I do spell check as I go but proof reading is only something I do for a more formal article. Enjoy your pie ;) I was wondering why you were quoting that article… But thanks Axil for finding those.

Remember my comments above on some innocent typos on your article? Well, (cough, cough), it wasn't even your article! lol. This was the article http://www.connorwilson.com/2007/07/06/12_things_to_do_to_your_brand_new_blog/ I mixed it all up and got so confused. I noticed it like 30 minutes later in a different browser window and the L&F just didn't match your site and then I realized....ah, damn. So please...hand ME that humble pie. :-) Ok…this is TOO funny.

Your point #2 (Poor Writing Skills) entry is spot on, but we all make mistakes. You did. :-) See your post on 12 Things to do to Your Brand New Blog -- you had a missing word in there. Here's how it reads now: "I guarantee you’ll more in than 7th month than those first 6 combined." (You forgot the word "make" as in: I guarantee you’ll MAKE more in than 7th month than those first 6 combined.) OK wait! I just spotted error #2 in that same sentence -- the "than" should really be "the". Let's try this again: "I guarantee you’ll MAKE more in THE 7th month than those first 6 combined." BRB...lemme go to the kitchen and grab some humble pie... :-) You got a great site and lots of great advice, but be very, very careful…

I feel the same way you do about misspellings and poor grammar. I have the luxury of working for an agency with a slew of professional copywriters so I've definitely picked up a few tricks on how to get what sounds eloquent in my head into something decipherable in print. There's just no excuse for misspellings. I have Google Toolbar installed and it does auto-spell checking for all form fields as you type. I'm an awful speller (really a sloppy typer) but this plug-in really helps. Not to get over-geeky with the grammar but there's a Podcast called Grammar Girl that is entertaining (at least as entertaining as a Podcast about grammar could be) and really useful for common errors in grammar. I recommend it to anyone who writes semi-professionally (bloggers). Great article. I feel the same way you do about misspellings and poor grammar.
