Just because you have a blog, doesn't mean you are equipped to use it. Fortunately, the Man in the Red Mask has put together some musical grammar aids. Please listen, memorize, and apply each one to your writing.
I took the liberty of transcribing the lyrics here for reference purposes:
1. Ohhh, if you want IT to be possessive it's just I-T-S, but if it's supposed to be a contraction, then it's I-T-apostrophe-S. Scalawag.

2. Whatever happened to capitalization, it used to be so cooool!
3. Girl, don't forget to spell check, or I'll come to your house and throw a brick through your Dad's windshield (windshield!)
4. Y-O-U-R, Y-O-U-apostrophe-R-E, they're as different as night and day. Don't you think that night and day are different? What's wrong with you?
5. I don't care how they spell things on the internet, but when you e-mail me, you spell the whole word out. I don't care that your cell phone has a camera in it!
