Insert Adorable Photo!

Compelling opening paragraph that grabs your attention.

Funny HILARIOUS anecdote that makes you laugh out loud and pledge your undying devotion to my blog.

Mentions of other funny stuff elsewhere on other blogs I like with links to them and encouragement for you to go visit!  Now!!  GO!

Apologies for my glaring inactivity on this blog lately.

Weak excuses about work and stuff.

Unconvincing promises to do better going forward coupled with pathetic plea for you not to abandon me.

Upbeat closing which brings the whole post full-circle.  Closure.  I like good closure.

(There, I gave you the framework – feel free to plug in your own content.  Who says I don’t challenge you??)
