Lately, I've been thinking about how to make my blog more compelling. Today, while perusing my del.icio.us inbox I ran into this essay on Building a better blog. I'm not sure about all the advice offered, but the item entitled "Develop an Authentic Voice" captured my attention.
"If you are authentic, honest, and original, you will find readers who care about what you write. And if you write about what you know and what you are passionate about, you can assure that your readers are informed and entertained."
-- Brian Baliey
I want to find a way to more frequently write in an authentic, honest, original and passionate way. It's far too easy for me to hide behind the trivial, dishonest, and obfuscated.
