Blogging do's and don'ts
DO
Update your blog regularly
DON'T
Log onto blogger at work, get distracted by your birthday holiday pics that have been uploaded onto your birthday iPod, and only remember you are logged on to blogger when your boss walks past, looks at the screen and says: "Are you blogging?"
DO
Reply "No, of course not" and smile inanely. Works like a charm. Possibly
DON'T
Post that thing you were going to post yesterday about how the Jubilee line exit at Waterloo smelled really strongly of fresh tomatoes on toast. You may be desperate for things to post at the moment, but nobody cares about that.
Maybe it was bruschetta?
DO
Use lists, do's and don'ts etc to motivate yourself to write
DON'T
Convince yourself that just because you could smell tomatoes on toast, and then later you could smell rosehip and vanilla teabags when you totally weren't near any, it means you have a brain tumour
DO
Remember to congratulate Drew on joining the lofty heights of Londonist. Get in!
DON'T
Sit in a darkened room, starkly lit by a clapped-out old monitor, the pale green glow from the Londonist website throwing hideous shadows across the twisted snarl of jealously chiselled into your furious face

Aren't you supposed to smell rosehip when someone has poisoned you with arsenic? Or is it almonds that you smell. Hmmm.
Probably best to freak out either way though, just incase.
I'm pretty sure arsenic smells like almonds. Or is it cyanide?
Anyway - if you smell almonds, run. Unless you're cooking with marzipan.
In which case have a word with yourself. Marzipan is grim.
Ugh. I had a Hideous Vomiting Childhood Experience involving marzipan.
