I agree with you. Sometimes, you just want to the information and I've been frustrated myself in having to wade through a lot of unrelated stuff to get to the useful information. What I'm really talking about here, though, is allowing your voice as a writer to come through. That gives your readers a sense of who you really are, that you're a real person, but it doesn't have to mean you give out a lot of personal information or post pictures of your cats. Thanks for commenting! Hi, Trutter. I agree with you.

I think it can be really useful to make an information blog plain info. It can annoy me greatly sometimes that I have to struggle through page of page of "my mom bought this" before I can find something useful. I must say I disagree in some aspects.

Sometimes bloggers tend to forget about the original nature of weblogs. Info dumps are a dime a dozen on the web and can be easily found. An entertaining and interesting voice and personal style are unique, though. Thanks for commenting! Absolutely true, Turk. Sometimes bloggers tend to forget about the original nature of weblogs.

Without your personal thoughts or way of speaking, there is no fun reading a blog. I can just search for the info I want on Google and get on with it.

It was a little dicey trying to figure stuff out, but wordpress makes it about as easy as it could be I suppose. It took just a few clicks to import all my posts from blogger. I was afraid it was gonna be tough. I wasn't entirely happy with the default theme so I poked around a bit to find one with three columns that gave me the whole screen to work with. This one was the coolest out of a bunch of really cool ones. Wordpress rocks! Yeah. It was a little dicey trying to figure stuff out, but wordpress makes it about as easy as it could be I suppose.

It's a PITA to get everything moved over, but it's worth the work in the long run. BTW I like the theme you have here. Heya Ray,

I think that's something that comes with experience. I really wasn't sure what I wanted to say or how to say it when I started blogging. I just knew I wanted to say something. After a while, ideas just started flowing. We all just have to find our footing as we go along. Thanks, Chris. I think that’s something that comes with experience.

When I started blogging my posts were very dry with no personal touch. Now, I don't really write about things personal, but do try to had some personality and humor.
