I’m not sure I’ll keep it. It’s very web 2.0 (a trend which annoys me because many blogs have a certain “sameness” about them. Some day, we’ll look back on web 2.0 like we do avocado refrigerators, a relic from the past.) and I guess I’m more of a “hands-on” person. I find 2.5 a little more difficult to navigate than the more traditional versions of WordPress, and I _like_ the ability to tinker and tweak to my heart’s content. The program, while fast, does have a noticeably larger footprint as well.

Not quite sold on 2.5, may revert back to 2.3. How do others feel about it?

I didn’t want to make enemies right out of the gate, but I also didn’t want to sound like everyone else. I blog about celebrity politics and celebrity blogs are a dime a dozen. It has been difficult striking a comfortable balance with who I am and who I think readers will want to read. I’m not a sell-out, but I also don’t want to send potential readers packing. Again, this is a very fine line and difficult to navigate for new bloggers.

It’s been about six months and I’m finally starting to feel like I’m coming into my own voice, which is nice. New bloggers should take heart and not give up. In fact, my blog has a whole section on “Bloggers Anonymous” that sort of chronicles my own development.

I knew I was on the right track when I realized I hadn’t posted a “Bloggers Anonymous” article during the whole month of February. Hallelujah.

Thanks for a great article. It really is important to develop an original voice.

Many thanks
