Okay, I just want to say this now, hopefully once and for all.  While I do try to read through my blogs at least once, I hardly put them through any rigorous editing process, so it is entirely possible that I'll let little grammar and possibly spelling mistakes slip through the cracks.  Considering that these are more or less equivalents of rough drafts, I don't really fault myself too much when this happens.  Because this is a fairly informal medium, I don't feel compelled to edit them thoroughly either.

Some may, in some weird way, construe my offering writing tips as an implication that I personally never make a grammatical mistake.  Anyone who has written much knows that this is never true of any writer.  So for all the smart alecs out there who might notice these mistakes, please, for the sake of everyone, just overlook them and don't bother commenting.  I'm writing in the hopes of helping people.  If you already know everything there is to know about writing, you can just ignore my blogging on the subject.  I know from experience that there are many people who could benefit from the occasional tip or two on the subject.
