Aunt Nettie's Guide to Internet Etiquette

When in doubt, emote! A little smile or wink can save a sticky situation.
Be positive! Remember, nobody likes a grump.
Answer your commenters. Let them know they matter!
Write regularly! Nobody will keep checking forever.
If you're irregular, pay a visit when you've found your tongue, and let them know you're back!
Welcome new visitors, and new ideas!

We're all friends on the internet!

Festi,
I've found some very effective virtual prunes out there, actually. The best ones are those who have been stewing in their own juices a while.

Dammit, festi beat me to the irregular joke. He's a quick witted bastard, isn't he?

Oddly, the more I write, the less people visit. I think it's because I'm not very talented.

Joe,
I think, with an average of 25 or more regular visitors per post, that you can feel quite secure in your popularity. Aunt Nettie would be proud of you.

A.C.,
We're a jolly lot, with tunics, and feathered helmets, and wooden swords. I have extras, if you'd like some.

A dull moment, and I missed it? How unfair. It didn't SOUND dull. I think you're making it up.

and advice well given that i will take to heart myself.
and you definitely get more commenters than me!
prunes did nothing for me. i hear that dr pepper has a bit of the ole prune juice in it. if i drink one on sundays, i usually go.

Joe,

Fille,
Cute is what no one wants to see themselves as, even if they are. But Aunt Nettie doesn't mind. She is wise like that.

i want to be cute. but one thing i've learned, and take this to heart aunt nettie (perhaps you could include it as an axiom of sorts in Aunt Netties Almanac), is that you cannot TRY to be cute. cuteness just happens by accident. and allow me to say that that's a gosh darn shame.
