What the Steadfast Reader Said About Clean Reading
Last month I tried “reblogging” for the first time. Although the whole point of having a blog is to share your own thoughts, sometimes you run across something that you just want to share. Mostly, I use Twitter for that, but lately I’ve seen a few blog posts that really seemed to fit my blog more than my Twitter, and that didn’t really need much commentary from me.
The Problem
This blogger isn’t on WordPress, {2018 update: or anywhere else on the web anymore} so I can’t link to it. It’s the first I’ve heard of “clean reading” and I think she did a pretty good job of explaining and debunking the practice. I especially appreciate this statement
I do think that every now and then we should make an effort step outside our own echo chambers and explore things that make us a little uncomfortable or that we find a little bit ugly. Those are the places where we will learn the most, where we will grow the most.
I’m a big fan of the blog No Clean Singing. After this, I’m tempted to rename my blog No Clean Reading. Would you read it?

I would read anything you right, regardless of the blog’s name. But for some reason I do find the new candidate appealing.
Are web rings still a thing? We could start an Unclean Ring: NCS, NCR, maybe Phro could rebrand as No Clean Writing…we’d definitely want to get a photographer on board.
I would read that blog. Obviously. 🙂 Thanks for the shout-out.
You bet. Thanks for speaking out on the shocking practice of clean reading.
