This is very helpful, on my blog I often write in a personal way, or try too at least. I try to throw in humor as much as I can and refer to the reader as well as inviting them to comment in a discussion. Thanks for posting the great video!

Sometimes I am only looking for information and that is sufficient, but if I want to be entertained or inspired, a blog with some personality shining through is what will get my attention. I agree.

I learn a lot from here, Problogger (finding this by google search). I'm still trying to find my "style". Is it a formal/academic one, or like story, or free style one. This article is interesting. I will try your suggestion about putting (a little bit of) myself into future post. Thanks a lot! Hi, Darren:

My blog is essentially satire about current news stories, so I never really considered doing any posts of a personal nature. However, my birthday came about two weeks after I started the blog, and I got an idea about how I might share the experience I had on that day with my readers. After about a month now of blogging, that post has received the most comments by far! This particular point rings true for me.

That's a great feeling, and I have to sai I think you deserve some of the credit. Thanks! As always, Darren, you’ve provided me with some more great content to make me a better blogger.

Every time I submit an article to ezinearticles.com I have to strip the article of everything personal, and I feel the articles are so cold.

I have use internet tools as a mean of technology to drive personal touch and emotional feel to my readers. For example, when someone commented on my blog, I uses a very powerful pugin which actually send he or she an email telling he or she how I wanted to connect to them and giving away valuable information to them for free and also to tell them how they can actually be my friend.

I agree with you that it's really really important to give your blog a more personal touch. Whether it be sharing personal experiences, making videos, or anything...giving it a personal touch can go a long way in connecting with your readers. I've recently ventured into video blogging on my SEO Tips blog, and I think it has made a huge difference. I've already gotten tons of positive feedback and so many people like it mostly because they feel like they're actually talking to someone. I'll admit, it has taken me a while to find my own voice and to move into a more social realm to create more of a personal outreach (rather than just being a robot). So far, it has been well worth it! Great advice Darren! I agree with you that it’s really really important to give your blog a more personal touch.

It is so true that you don't have to share too much and in an inappropriate way. People have a basic need to connect and it really does add to the experience of reading a blog - I think it makes the difference as to whether I will keep returning or not. Actually some blogs I subscribe too I keep up with for professional reasons but never get excited about going. Now that I think about it there isn't a single thing I could tell you about the blogger - isn't that interesting! I just have to say I LOVED watching the You Tube clip complete with rocking action!
