Re: What Modern Bloggers Could Learn From The Early Bloggers

Andy Hawthorne writes on his blog:
Don’t sand off your weird edges to fit some internet shape; celebrate them. Somewhere out there is a reader who says, “Aha! Someone else who collects spoons and names their houseplants after distant relatives.”
This is the essence of blogging. This diversity. Sometimes surprising. Unpredictable associations, insights, comparisons, or observations. A touch of madness in everyday life that can entertain, surprise, and show how different we are, and yet in this diversity we love to provide ourselves with pleasant experiences and spend time together.
Because blogging is a conversation. We talk to ourselves when we write and to our readers when they visit our blog.
I agree with Andy’s comment and recommend reading his article “What Modern Bloggers Could Learn From The Early Bloggers.”
