Personal?
So I was thinking about my blog. Is it personal enough? Checking my archives I don’t see personal posts or not as personal as some bloggers write. I don’t feel like I’m writing enough about my self which makes me kinda depressed. Makes me feel like a very “katoom” person that I’m not, yeah, I can easily “afales” with my secrets.
I mean most of my blogs are links to something or some ad-crit posts. SO … I decided I should do something that Purgatory72 did a while ago, A Green Post, yes but I’m not going to change my template (maybe later). The Idea is to let you suggest a subject for me to write about. I’m not saying it should be personal thing but I won’t mind it, Just to add more “personality” to my blog.
Yes Purg, Once again You are very Inspirational. :p

hmm, me? what is so inspirational about me? my blog is simple, nothing complicated, maybe it is the mystery behind it, yet the clarity around it.

you know what tata? i felt the very same about your blog too- very focused sometimes on things like stupid ads and stuff..
but i want to say that maybe not being very personal is not that bad, i mean it’s not like i didnt enjoy ur comments and previous blogs. after all there’s alot of personal-oriented blogs around.
Anyway if u wanted to get down into “personal” for change, why dont u tell us a little about– urm.. ur !!achievements!! in the last year >>par example<< !

just write whatever u feel like.

Write about whatever you like, but remember when writing personal stuff to write about personal experiences that people can identify with and comment on.
Otherwise, it can get too self-indulgent

here is my opinion:
when u post about ads.. it says something about u.
when u link to other sites and find something interesting, it also says something about u.
you got to figure out what ur goal of the blog is. is it a place to put ur ideas? ur feelings? a scrap book?
do u care if people comment?? or if people visit? is it something for you or for readers?
