I know that a lot of you reading this are bloggers just like me. Sometimes I wonder why you read some of the tripe that I write. I know it's not because of the picture on my "About" page because I fell out of an ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. It's part of the reason I don't like to have my picture taken.

I don't know about you, but the blogs I like to return to on a regular basis have a lot of personality injected into them. How many of you have gone to blogs to read the top 10 plugins, tips, whatever, only to never return to those blogs (except to reread the same thing)? Why is that, do you suppose? I believe it's because the rest of their content is boring and sounds like lectures, not inviting interactivity.

I like to ask a lot of questions. I think it invites readers to comment when they wouldn't normally do so. I also like to throw in a little controversy, but not too much. When I do that, I get beat up by social news sites. Now, if you took the time to follow me to some of the blogs that I visit, and how it affects the way I write and what I write about, you'd know that I have a wicked, yet subtle (but not always so subtle) sense of humor. I think everyone likes to laugh once in a while, don't you? In my case, I don't care if you laugh with me, or at me, as long as you're enjoying yourself.

As I mentioned in other places, I like to focus on entertainment of all kinds when I write. Unfortunately, it's not possible because I get sidetracked by other issues. You know what? Some of those other issues are just another form of entertainment for some people, even if not for me.

You've heard that content is king. You've also heard that comments are important. I'm suggesting, above all else, your personality is the most important ingredient in your blog. You don't believe me? Fine. If your blog doesn't have personality, let's see if I visit YOUR blog more than once (you'll know if I do because I like to leave comments).
