Nothing much

This one's from my latest Christmassy-sort of zine, Badger's Dozen mark whatever.  Nothing much to see in the relative non-event of...

In an increasingly awkward attempt at replicating the lack of success of the joke in the previous post title (made all the more awkward by the fact that doing a blog post just for the sake of the joke in the title seems a tad unseemly anyway), I have decided to press on with my reverso blog post experiment. Just how long can a blog post title get, anyway? By now we have certainly gone past the standard length allowing this blog post to be googled, and have more commas, full stops, question marks, and parenthesis in total than we could expect in an ordinary blog post title. What other surprises can we be expected to come up with? Let's try point form! 1) This is a point. 2) This, also, is a point. 3) This is a third point, though by now the use of a point form has even less of a point than when it started.

Reverso Blog Post #2: The Wrath of Kahn.
Tuesday, December 30, 2014

In an amazing new experimental blog post, Tim has decided to reverse the position of title and post just to see what will happen. Early reports on reactions to this groundbreaking new artistic technique (though possibly not that 'groundbreaking' or 'new') show readers around the world astounded, gobsmacked, terrified, or gobstoundified. When questioned by the press about where he sees his blog going next, Tim refused to comment, even though he was doing the whole write up on his blog anyway. Reverso blog posts, people: it's a thing. You could try and do the same thing on twitter but twitter doesn't have titles HAHAHA SUCKED IN okay goodbye now. (PS pity we don't have paragraphs in these blog titles. The technology should really keep up with the art). UPDATE: At least we can do updates. But we can't do footnotes. Or differently sized fonts. What, are we living in the 1st century?
