image of Copyblogger Weekly Wrap logo

So today will be the last Wrap until summer ends, the kids go back to school, and Brian puts his shirt back on. So in honor of this being our season finale, Im throwing the BIGGEST, BADDEST, ROOTIN-TOOTINEST PARTY YOUVE EVER SEEN IN A BLOG POST!

Of course, because were confined to a blog post without multimedia, the party wont actually feature any alcohol or dancing. Or refreshments. Or music. Or, actually, any social interaction other than in the comments. And truthfully, theres no live entertainment. You cant really sneak into the bathroom to hook up with anyone, either. And I guess the poolside fun is out, along with that extreme magician I wanted to hire.

So really, were pretty much limited to you reading words on this page, and then commenting below. But you can do it HARDCORE EXTREME DRUNKEN IRRESPONSIBLE STYLE, YO! So, you know, have fun with that.

Heres what happened this week on Copyblogger:

Monday:

The Charles Darwin Guide to Writing and Selling an Effective eBook

This post scared the hell out of me. Its actually about how your e-book needs to have evolved and grown if its to survive in the marketplace, but it made me think of how e-books will surely continue to evolve and will one day become sentient. From that point, you know the drill: machine war, scorching of the sky, enslavement of mankind, and so on. To all of you e-book creators out there I hope it was worth it, you butchers.

Tuesday:

Are Social Media Experts Worthless?

Just when I thought Mondays post was frightening, this one came along and scared the living crap out of me. Just read the first sentence: 99.5% of social media experts are clowns! How terrifying did online marketing just become? Oh, and apparently this post also talks about how to be a reputable social media expert, but I was too busy having nightmares about maniacal grinning sociopaths with squeaky horns and giant red shoes.

Thursday:

Poetry puzzles

Who is Ozymandias? Why is Coleridge's Lime-Tree Bower his prison? And what is the proper spelling of The Waste Land? The solving of a poem's puzzles is one poetry's greatest pleasures In the late 1990s the indefatigable John Sutherland produced a series of entertaining books about puzzles in fiction (Why is Frankenstein's monster yellow? Where does Fanny Hill keep her contraceptives? Who gets what in Heathcliff's will?). The books were initially linked to reissues of novels in the Oxford World's Classics series, and I was struck at the time how beautifully these little inquisitions of Sutherland's, often on apparently absurd or marginal issues in the text, got readers reading again, with attention and interest. What Sutherland was doing, in effect, was smuggling serious literary criticism into an apparently superficial form of writing. Perhaps, in a sense, he was even re-inventing literary criticism. In this era of academic theorising and the downsizing of m...

CCCP: Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed by Frdric Chaubin review

These images of Soviet architecture from the Brezhnev era are simply out of this world Soviet brutalism is not something traditionally thought of as beautiful, but Frdric Chaubin's stunning photographs, published under the facetious title CCCP: Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed , should go some way to changing this. Fascinated by the massive scale of Brezhnev-era architecture, the French photographer has toured the former Soviet Union since 2003, in search of dramatic examples of these sculptural buildings. The 1970s-1990s was a strong period for Soviet architecture, especially in the peripheral republics, where outlandish designs were an expression of the striving for independence, an early inkling of the break-up of the USSR. Architects at this time picked up where they left off following the suppression of the avant-garde by Stalin in the early 1930s, and were able to capitalise on advances made in engineering in the interim period, producing buildings with enormous in...
