A How To:
How to get credit for being extremely kind and willing to help yet exert little, if any, effort.
Let’s just say a BIG blogger posts a request on her blog for help. You happen to see it because you read her frequently to learn the true art of blogging. Although you rarely comment at her blog because really, does she even read past the 100th comment anyway?
So here’s what you do. You send her an email, perhaps something like this:
Hi [Big Blogger Lady],
I know how frustrating HTML and PHP can be. If you’re still having problems feel free to email me and if I can ever help you, I’d be more than happy to do so. Of course, you’ll have to come through on your end and prove to really be my best friend. I’ve always wanted a friend. I’ll make us each a beautiful graphic for our sidebars with BFF across the front and then add a coffee cup and some flowers and maybe some hearts, pink and purple hearts, oh, oh I have an idea… we can get matching t-shirts and take pictures of ourselves doing something crazy together like, like… sticking drinking straws up our noses and laughing hysterically. I’ve heard that’s what friends do with each other. Ooooo, I hope you’re as excited as I am!!!What do you mean you don’t need my help?

Now it’s very important to add your link to the bottom because otherwise Big Blogger Lady will have no idea who you are and well, we can’t have that.
With in a few hours, Big Blogger Lady, frightened by the thought that she is now in contact with a potential stalker, will respond like this:
Bwahahahaha.
Uh, yeah. I think I can live without a BFF graphic.
You are funny,
[big blogger lady]
Please note: there is no request for help.
Yeah, I didn’t think so.
