Just thought I would start this up.

Well when people start first @ blogging, they usually tell themselves they would blog personally (my experience). But then as our blog become more and more popular, we are more likely to get pressured at lessening random ramblings posts and start posting really valuable content.. so then i originally thought my blog is a personal blog until i started reading my archive post and realized 'heck' this is not a personal blog!

and so i start a new blog w/c is really about personal nonsense stuffs.. My piece of advice is, start a personal blog, i mean a really personal one w/no intentions of getting readers, making money or what.. For me it makes me feel more relaxed and somehow relieves the stress from everyday work.. And that's the essence of the 'real blogging' thing ryt?...

I would love to hear your opinion about it..

yes u r right.Always write athentic material or content for your blog, it is more crucial to promote a blog permanently.

Hi Melvin,

I think it depends on why you blog.

If you blog to relax from everyday stress then you're probably right. Trying to write valuable articles is related to some kind of stress.

I myself blog to deepen my understanding of different topics and spread my knowledge. It's also some kind of self development experiment but I don't really do it to reduce stress. So I set different priorities. I try to combine personal stuff with valuable content. (For example, you can use personal experiences to illustrate your articles.) That's my interpretation of blogging.

I agree on trey on his first line, that it depends on why you blog. To have a blog that is purely personal is correct, to have a blog that could give useful information or additional knowledge to others is right as well. I think there's really nothing wrong if a blog's purpose is for personal use, to share knowledge or even if its for money. Your blog is your blog, you choose what and how you want it to be. As long as of course its not something harmful to others or something like that.
