I'm getting a little irked with "professional" bloggers who don't know a damn thing about writing, maintaining or creating a blog. Try using a dictionary if you want anyone to take you seriously. Don't know how to fix an error on your template? Then do not call yourself a professional blogger until you can load a new template and make it work.Learn some CSS and HTML code, call it XHTML if you like. Learn how to spell basic words like "a lot"( it is not one word). Learn how to use the [shift] key so you can capitalize proper names for things and people.
Far too many money-making, SEO and topical bloggers label themselves professional without knowing anything more than how to type. Being able to type does not make you a competent blogger. Some of them would not even rate amateur.
I think there should be an official Dust Bunny Award for Professional Boggers. People who type a blog proclaiming themselves professional, experts.
Maybe I'm being a little hard on them. But, they make it beyond silly to proclaim themselves professionals while I can find 3 spelling mistakes (or typos) in their most recent post. Can't we get a browser feature that closes these kind of blogs just as it does the pop up windows? Can't we be spared from the Professional Boggers?

You tell em!
I'm amazed there aren't a ton of comments on this post.
Perhaps you are hitting some nerves ...?
I think you are spot on. I'm sick and tired of being told what I need to do to improve my blog or how to make a ton of money and they are on their 3rd post.
Give me a break.
Excellent Post. Bravo. etc., etc.

Hmmm ... a Firefox plugin that checks for poorly constructed sites, spelling, and grammar, and which also looks for instances of the phrases "SEO", "money-making tips", and "How to". Upon finding such sites it redirects immediately to a page full of bunnies.
I think it could be done. But I'm not volunteering.
Great post. I have to confess that I USED to write alot a lot. I am currently learning HTML and CSS. I'm not a professional, nor do I want to become one. I just want to learn all I can about writing and maintaining a blog. Why? Because I'm too cheap to hire somebody to write my code. Thanks again for a great post.
I agree, but I also know I wouldn't want to be a professional blogger, doesn't it take the joy out of blogging?
A little harsh, maybe. One thing that does irk me too though is spelling errors! Firefox underlines the word if it's misspelled, or maybe they should think about spell check!
Ha ha! I like it!
There is so much rubbish out there. I just make it stay out there and not on my monitor ;O)
What makes them such experts, and do people actually read their blogs?
