Recently I was discussing this blog with a friend of mine who has only recently become a reader.
It was an interesting conversation, mainly because, as he was giving me his advice on content and editorial slant, he kept telling me I needed to be more opinionated. He said it half a dozen times, so I asked him what he meant.
Apparently, according to him, I don't give my opinion enough.
Which is news to me, since in my opinion this whole damn thing is my opinion. So... What's your opinion?
I agree that your blog is frequently at its most engaging when you're giving your person slant on happenings, both locally and more broadly.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy reading what you think about politics, historical events, etc, even if I don't agree.
Another frequent commenter, Daniel, recently said (via comment) that in his opinion this was less self-involved than alot of the blogs he followed.
ReplyDeleteI want it to be entertaining, thought-provoking, and funny. Also angry and silly and whatever else it needs to be.
