Blog, Shoots and Leaves

Has Jennifer Garrett, a Boston blogger, been reading Writer's Edge? I hope so. She's built a Blogger Knowledge article from references to the Lynne Truss book about which I've been babbling on (See July 04, 2004, Freedom From Bad Writing!, August 09, 2004, Free Books, Almost, and August 14, 2004, Let Them Have Blogs! as well as listing Truss' book in the sidebar for the last month or so). In fact, this blog practically began with a rant about punctuation, spelling, grammar, and syntax (Writing Right, June 7, 2004).

Eats, Blogs and Leaves applies Truss' dicta to blog writing. I can't think of a higher tribute! I hope Garrett's article becomes required reading for all online writers, no matter what they call their work.
