I think your introspection on whether or not you are interesting is interesting.

Suffice it to say, I’m confident you’ll agree their advice. But yes, a grain of salt leaves room for your own ideas. Don’t forget to share them!

The thing that does work is to continuously strive to improve.

@ Starliteve – I love your points! The personal touch is important. But which personal touch works? Which intimate details pull in readers and which repel? It’s hard to figure out and that’s my problem with blogging.

@ Imie – I know people who’re interesting in real life, but they can’t project their awesomeness in their blog. Michael’s going to answer that tomorrow

@ Charlene – Thank you for the kind words Charlene. I think its the problem of us not feeling easy in our own blogs. I had to change how I perceived my blog to start feeling comfortable around here and I think the change shows in my writing. Will be elaborating on it more next week.

@ John – That has to be the best advice ever! But also the hardest. Finding the right kind of people for your blog is what proves to be difficult. As bloggers, we have this vision of the kind of bloggers we want to attract to our blog.

You’ve raised an excellent point!
Samar´s last blog ..I don’t want to be boring!

I try to combine information with a bit of personal – and if I could find the dadgum cable for my camera I would even upload and post some pictures to accent my posts!

Anyway, I find your blog interesting because the posts tell me a bit of what you experience as a pro-blogger, in addition to providing solid advice and information about how I can improve my posts.

Oh, and I love the idea of interviews – wonder how I can incorporate those into my blog? Hmm.

Thanks!

When people try hard to be “interesting”, they too become boring.

Where blogs get boring is when they become spots to just repost links with no perspective. Or, when they contain 100% dry informational articles.

Here are my tips on being interesting (and after you look at my fledgling fiction site, you may think taking advice from me is silly ) Anyway,

1. Your blog is interesting because it gives me information and a perspective that I can’t get anywhere else.

2. Your blog is interesting because you go out and find the best information and save me the time by linking me to it all at once (with your glowing commentary).

or 3. Your blog is interesting because you tell me intimate and interesting things about yourself that are entertaining or thought provoking.

That’s what I look for when it comes to interesting blogs. I think the third is almost always the best .

Just my two cents.
