Not only do you have to be able to write or perform the story accurately, you need to create vivid descriptions. Boring, complex or difficult to understand metaphors can turn an imaginative journey into a lifeless plot. You may not think of it deliberately, but learning is very similar to storytelling.

We'd like to start the year off right and take a minute for a good cause. Ya know, we work hard here at Strumpette. We bear the burden of cynicism happily as we are filled with, and motivated by, a tremendous sense of responsibility. But that said, every so often, especially after the lull of the Holidays, the glow subsides. It's during these times we are reacquainted with our own humanity. Some of us here even speak openly of altruism. No, I'm not talkin' about...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Strumpette/~3/210055263/645-PR-An-Industry-Appeals-for-Help... The War Against Live Blogging- January 3, 2008 Last June, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) ejected a credentialed reporter from a baseball game because he was live blogging the event for his paper's web site. The reporter was stripped of his press credential and barred from the press box. His lawyer called out the NCAA for its draconian policy prohibiting live blogging, writing, "Once a player hits a home run, that's a fact. It's on TV. Everybody sees it.

When police arrived, apparently one officer went to Podschwit's side door, where he encountered Hunter, a 5-year-old German...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Chicagoist/~3/210003961/dog_survives_co.php Talk shows to return tonight, only Letterman and Ferguson have writers- January 2, 2008 Leno and the rest of the late night hosts will have to make due with whatever they can muster that doesn't violate the WGA contract.

Google Ranking 6 Penalty Filter- January 2, 2008 A New Google Filter is Born In early December some astute webmasters noticed that some of their longterm (in some cases many years) 1 or 2 ranking pages in Google now rank at 6. Just like with the Google -30 and the Google -950 penalties, some people will maintain this is fiction, but too many smart people experienced the same thing at the same time for it to be such. Background Information Tedster started a WMW thread on the topic on December 26th. From Tedster's post, some of the sites that..http://www.seobook.com/google-ranking-6-penalty-filter Denton to pay bloggers based on traffic Blogging For Dollars- January 1, 2008 Gawker Media dark overlord Nick Denton (pictured) has launched a new pay system for all Gawker Media blogs, after testing it at four of his leading sites. Denton's goal is to discourage "self indulgent" posts and "mind-numbing frequency" in favor of "linkworthy material, by which I mean a secret memo, a spy photo, a chart, a well-argued rant, a list, an exclusive piece of news, a well-packaged find."
