Rules For Bloggers #1: Don’t apologize for not posting in a while. Unless you have 500+ subscribers to your blog, very likely no one cares and nothing is more sad than someone saying they are sorry to the Internet.  And if you have more than 500 subscribers to your blog, you have far better things [...]
