No, you’re doing it all wrong!
You bring up an old news story (1865 is fine) and then you put a one line excerpt and a link to a lame-ass blog, replete with popups, trojans and assorted boobytraps. And then you post five new threads a day like that.
But don’t worry, keep trying you’ll hit your dreams one day. :-)
Downside:
You then have to put up with folks jacking with you for being a blog pimp!
