annoyo-posts

i'm writing my *true* feelings on this blog, since Wedded Bliss has gone live, and i subsequently feel like i have to be all PC on there, which, if you know me, is an annoyance. The first two posts had some negative stuff in them, which was totally not what we were going for by going live. The actual first post was by "anonymous" and criticized our grammar, punctuation and lack of capitalization, saying that we are educated people and it is distracting to try and read our posts. first of all, i rarely capitalize...does this mean that i don't know how, or that i don't when it is necessary? not at all. however, a blog is a blog is a blog. like i care about that. i've never had anyone complain about not being able to understand my posts b/c of that before. (btw, if anyone does think that, i really don't want to know, and it's not going to make me capitalize. no offense.) i do put periods at the end of sentences, and my grammar and punctuation are correct. i just don't generally capitalize. so sue me. i mean, do they think i use abbreviations in academic papers, like "btw", etc.?? i don't fault anyone for capitalizing if they want to, or refraining from doing so. it is a matter of personal preference. i was just so taken aback that someone would be so petty as to post something like that on our WEDDING BLOG, for pete's sake.
thanks to carolyn for her post. i vented a little to her, and i appreciate her response. the wedding blog is not to criticize...it's if people want to comment on what's going on, or specific comments about what we've posted, or if they have any other questions. i really didn't ever think we'd need to tell everyone to be nice...although, yes, i realize that going live opens us up to attacks. i just thought that people would want to congratulate, not point out every mistake.
for now, as you probably expected, i am vehemently against ever capitalizing on "wedded bliss"....if only to make whoever that was even more annoyed. :) teehee, teehee, said kerry without thinking.
