Seriously, I am sick of coming across peoples blogs with calendars in the sidebar. What the hell are you trying to prove? Do you think people randomly surf the web unaware of the date?

I can see it now Cyborg Boy wakes up and screams, “Oh my God!” I have no idea what day it is I better go check out Fracas’ blog with the calendar, while I’m there I can catch up on her latest gossip. Oh boy!”

No, no, no this is not going to happen. Wake up and smell the gasoline. People get their daily fix of ‘the date’ from other sources. There’s the good old-fashioned calendar that they stick up on their refrigerator, they’re bound to check there before your blog. Then there’s the mass media, the daily newspaper or television, they’re bound to check there before your blog.

But hey lets just say someone doesn’t use any of those? Maybe then they’ll go check out your blog? So Mr. Whoeverthehell sits down at his computer is about to go to your blog to check out the date and then suddenly…

He realises that a calendar is a standard built in feature on his computer. Yes, that’s right, the very computer people use to go see your blog already has a calendar built in. So stop wasting space in your sidebar and get rid of that stupid calendar. Why not put something useful there like a slideshow of cats or half naked ladies.
