Roberts\u2019 blog is like global climate change – slow and without known cause. Sure, it\u2019s vital to be aware of the current state of environmental issues. It would make sense that Roberts\u2019 true passion would be to spread a sense of urgency about the need to take care of our planet to the Internet-using population. However, Roberts takes a slow, formal, bogged down approach to writing, masking any passion that he may once have had.<\/o:p><\/div>\n

Dear David Roberts, <\/o:p><\/div>\n
Anyone with four dollars and a mild interest in blogging can purchase The Huffington Post Complete Guide to Blogging. <\/i>I suggest that you do just that. And please please<\/i> read the bold sentences on pages 84 and 91: \u201cRule #7: Write Short\u201d (you, sir, write very much not <\/i>short) and \u201cRule #3: Write Like You Speak\u201d (I sincerely hope for all those around you that you do not actually speak like you write). That is all.<\/o:p><\/div>\n
