Paul D Dangerously

Continuing today's theme of notable oddities from people associated with the Oakland A's, this small note from my Yardbarker newsletter... ex-Dodgers GM and former A's front office / "Moneyball" wunderkind Paul DePodesta is now blogging. You can see it for yourself right here, though I have to admit, it's pretty sparse at present.

Paul, as you're new to blogging, let me give you a few pointers.

1) Images. It's the Web, baby! Reading is for old people. Get with the Google Image Search program and start looking for poon if you want the clicks. Special tip: try learning some new words on Urban Dictionary, then search for images related to those. Boom goes the instant traffic dynamite!

2) Cursing. It's the Web, baby! Restraint is for old people. If you aren't prepared to call the LA press all of those names you've just learned from Urban Dictionary, just encourage your commenters to do it for you. We're good at that sort of thing, especially if you allow us to be anonymous.

3) Posts. We don't care that you have a job. You need to put up some half-assed something or other on a near daily basis to keep us coming back. May I suggest some Top 10 lists?

Update -- forget I said anything. Paul's already bringing the goods with this recommendation.
