Skimming Content

Mr Baskerville has received yet another email linking to an article of handy tips to make him a better writer. Apparently, we merely skim content, not reading every lovingly-crafted word, but flicking our eyes down the page to get an overview.

Money can't buy you love

Mr Baskerville does this too, of course. In the interest of full disclosure, he didn't even read every word of the article. In fact it's a pretty good bet that he won't read every word of this blog before posting*.

But it can buy gold watches and luxury yachts

Mr Baskerville has used his extensive understanding of human nature to carefully prepare this post. There is a message** in this post which you, loyal reader, will understand without reading every word! In fact he could probably stuff a few paragraphs with totally unconnected information without losing any impact whatsoever.

Once you've got those covered

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Proin leo ipsum, fringilla eu justo nec, porta viverra metus. Etiam a gravida purus. Mauris tempus metus est, et commodo nisi semper quis. Nunc mollis ultrices lectus, eget volutpat nulla varius quis. Proin convallis, elit sed elementum ultricies, eros erat varius nisi, non posuere augue massa ac tortor. Pellentesque sodales metus at lorem suscipit, ac efficitur est rutrum. In tortor enim, commodo vitae lobortis suscipit, malesuada id elit.

You'll be fighting love off with a stick

Yes, Mr Baskerville is just that good. You all know what he's talking about, right?

*yes, yes, he lied on his resume about proofing meticulously. He's actually amazed he managed to spell meticulously correctly. Or did he??? You decide.

Subheads are an admiring homage to despair.com. Or outright theft, whichever
