So this is the diary section, not to be confused with the upcoming dairy section, which will deliver fresh milk and cheese to your door while you blog. That feature will be along any day now - hope you kept your old school Pine State milkbox outside your door.

According to the Blog Empire Training Manual I was sent:

"You're going to want to put up a sample diary just explaining what diaries are for, which is basically to allow your readers to open new topics without having to wait for you to start a topic.  It's the ultimate empowerment for your readers."

They use the word "empower" about three more times in describing this feature, and I can further empower it by bumping the intelligent ones up to the front page. I think at that point you're so empowered you can head out and fight crime. Just remember that with great power comes great responsiblity - no one wants to lose Uncle Ben here.

The rules? Don't be a dick. Someone's mother somewhere is reading this. Also, do not use performance enhancing drugs while blogging. I've had enough disappointment in Carolina folks for one day.
