I think that the most popular blogs are popular because they have a way of combining all three of those reasons. Toby – that says it all!

One element will get you readers, two will get you loyal readers, three will get you blog/brand champions.

Hmmm...I will have to think on that a little bit. But I think overall people relate better to blogs that they see a part of themselves in. If you're sharing personal experiences, challenges, and celebrations, then you are more likely to be seen as "authentic." Part of the positive buzz about Twitter is that it is a way to both be personal and also share ideas with other professionals, when you are following the right people (and they are following you). The first thing to check off would be, be yourself! Having your own voice starts with you. As Geoff said earlier this week, it's all about relations - being real, being human, and being you. Hi Beth.
