I seem to be missing something. Is a proposter just someone who can create accurate and precise blogs in forums in a shortly timed manner??
But really wouldn't it be better to be a journalist or a secretary?
Are you actually not getting it?
+ Show Spoiler +The punchline is that normally these blogs are about becoming SC2 Progamers.

Yo feel free to hit me up if you're ever looking for a practice partner. I'm not quite on your level but I'm still top 50.
Just a thought. ^^

As a former A- ranked philosoposter I suggest to you: work on your fundamentals. Effective WPM is something nice to look at, but it's not something you should be focusing on as a Bronze level poster. Rather, you should work on your understanding of the posts and of the metapost itself; I recommend to you to find some reposts of Arthur Schopenhauer and Leon Tolstoi--many of today's great posters studied their reposts carefully and spent long hours exercising their posting skills. Just take some time to look at: TheDeadHaji, Konadora (on hiatus), Saracen, and the up and coming Ilovekittens.
I also suggest to you to get the Iphone app 'vocabology', as it's designed to increase your vocabulary and accelerate the process of becoming a proposter.
I will be following your posts closely and hope to see you as the next great writer of a TL Final Edit.

Try using google.
Luv the irony of the blog, and even more the people who don't get it ♥
Makes me feel really smart.

Kind Sir,
I'm terribly sorry but I just cannot let this be. There are still quite a few absolutely key elements missing in becoming a pro-blogger, and there's just no way the TL community can help you unless we receive more information.
First of all, replays. Any request for progress must have an appropriate replay background. You've submitted one (!) replay. This means you can request help for one specific match-off, perhaps even only one specific build order. There is no way you can receive help to get up to the pro level if you only choose de perfect one very specific match-up.
Also I have no idea as to what race you post! As we all very well know, there are very different posting races with different mechanics and posting styles. Let me just name a few:
The e-peen poster
Perhaps, and sadly so, one of the more famous posters we find here on TL. The e-peen profile is typically a multimillionnaire docter/lawyer/economist/progamer who's dating a supermodel, with 46-inch masculinity, the body of a professionnel boxer and the sense of logic of a chess grandmaster. This poster is always right, whatever he says, no contradiction is acceptable. Behind the scenes, these posters run the world in disguise. Did you know that Deezer is actually president of a small eastern European republic?
The weakness of these posters is what makes their strength, their ego. I'd suggest walling off with one rax of simply ignoring him and two depots of sarcasm. Humour and wit are quite imba against the e-peen, still hoping TL will nerf that to make the MU more interesting.
The troll
A very solid aggressive race. The troll is the swarm of TL. They bombard with useless, sometimes witty, ofter times unpleasant posting. They live by trying to provoque you to leave your base and engage in the open, so that they can out-mass you. They have no typical profite, as they have no personnality. A troll feeds off of his opponent.
The easiest way to beat a troll is, as Day9 would say, to simply not engage. Play defensive, make him come to you. The troll will starve on ressources and his production capacity will ultimately go down for the win. The troll will then ragequit without a "gg" and move on to his next game.
The Holy Lord of Emo
This is a very particular sort of very cheesy player. The emo will wait for you to attack, always, and then will try to counter with the splash damage of profound depression. He will kill your posts by repeated fungal growth of the uselessness of life and suicidal ideology. The typical emo is a teenager, pretty wealthy and privileged by global standards but who will make himself miserable, who goes up to girls saying "hey, wanna see me cut my veins?" and the writes songs about how he got turned down.
The best way to counter the splash damage of emo is by a good spread on your happiness. Make sure you don't cluster your joy. Emo usually have decent sacrasm detection, so I would suggest a quick sarcasm rush. If you can outmacro the Emo and overwhelm him with joy of leaving, the emo will leave the game "because anyway it's all pointless, nobody understands how everything is just misery".
The witty poster
This is perhaps one of the more annoying races, because of their versatility. The witty poster can do many things. He can try to steal your resources by out-macroing you in your own base, he can go for a fast sarcasm rush, he can go for a straight-up deathpost push, etc. The profile of this poster is generally a student, rather geeky, pretty smart but has no friends to demonstrate just how witty he is to. So this person will compensate with excrutiatingly long games.
The way to deal with this race depends very much on your scouting information. If you see a big deathpost push, the easiest way is to not engage. Use the lack of mobility to harass. However a good witty poster will be able to counter with good army spread. It can then turn into a legitimate macrogame which requires a lot of multitasking. This race is pretty OP in my opinion, and usually gets top ladder seats.
Just your regular guy
This is a tricky race to play against. Just your regular guy will use weapons other races don't have, such as flattery and gratitude for making the SC2 community better. Do not be duped! If you go for a smart deathball push, they'll splash you with "great write-up, want sum more!" and other such. This will neural parasite your main army, so you no longer have control over it. You then tend to overcompensate by macroing up another decently sized post, just to get NPd again. This person has no defined profile. It's just your regular guy.
It's hard to play out against this race. I would suggest just waiting for the Neural Parasite to end. It has a pretty short cooldown, but "just your regular guy" has complicated mechanics and few of them really micro to their greatest potential. I've seen countless players of this race just leave the game after the end of their Neural Parasite, and try it again against a different poster. Their macro is extremely pityful, so they only rely on this one deadly weapon to make you pretty much kill yourself with hours and hours of endless posting. "Just your regular guy" is perhaps the most malicious opponent, and yet the most common, of those you will face.
So what race do you play? Which matchups do you have trouble with? Basic build orders should vary quite a bit from one MU to the next. I personnaly only play custom games, so I'm not ranked. But I have excellent mechanics and theorycrafting if you never need it.
Best of luck in all your endeavours.

Very nice 5/5 
But geez, funny posts like this always seem to spawn walls-of-text addition jokes (from readers) that are never funny. Often the funniest replies are short anyway. I like:

No, seriously, what is proposting? I guess it stands for "profesional posting", right? I really dont get it, can you get paid for just posting stuff about SC2? I even have something like a fan page in FB and i post stuff there, can i get paid for that? And what is exactly what you post? Game analysis, theorycrafting about the game and stuff? I dont want to be rude but i dont know WTF is a proposter, can you name one? Please link it
