I write on a fairly low traffic blog. One thing I've been seeing some of around the internet are blog posts which use meme pictures([example picture](http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/36g57s/). It seems like an interesting approach to me. I'm a programmer and write about technical topics. Sometimes topics are pretty dry and it's difficult to make them interesting. So, I recently decided to try out this style. I'm not for sure how much I like it. In some cases, it just makes bad writing less... bad. And in others, it can take a very dry and boring topic and make it hold my attention. What is everyone's thoughts? What are the bad points to using memes (or other funny/not-diagram) pictures in writing about a topic? Also, for reference, [this](http://earlz.net/view/2013/01/17/0708/how-to-name-variables-according-to-context) is the blog post I wrote using this style(it's very technical)
