I simply desired to appreciate you again. I do not know the things that I would’ve worked on in the absence of the type of tactics revealed by you relating to my area. This was a depressing setting in my view, but seeing a expert strategy you processed the issue forced me to cry over joy. I’m just thankful for the service and in addition sincerely hope you find out what an amazing job that you’re accomplishing teaching the others via your blog. Probably you have never met any of us.

Excellently written article, if only all bloggers offered the same content as you, the internet would be a much better place. Please keep it up!

I agree... If you aren't a good writer, you'll only be able to go so far with your other talents - Good recipes, good photos, etc. Good writing is pretty much a necessity for a successful blog. Runlikeh3lls last blog post..Worlds Fastest Sprint

@ Evan – The blog is absolutely a back-and-forth transaction. You can’t separate the sense of relationship from the writing. In fact, you are right: your comment foreshadows the next (post in this series. Writing style and voice, sometimes even more than comments, creates that transaction. In some niches, like food blogging, comments tend to be less important than in other niches (like writing). Good, bad or indifferent, I’m not sure, but when that’s the case, you’ve got to make the connection with the reader in your writing rather than hoping to do it in the comments.

@ Chris – you’re doing fine in that regard, by the way. Keep honing it. It takes time, to be sure.

You are right, I go back to certain blogs because of the voice and tone of the writer and not so much the topic. This is what I constantly try to work on my blog, maintaing a consistent voice and tone. Chris's last blog post..How Does A Father Say I Love You?

Hi Bob,

You might be covering this in the next posts in this series.

I think there are two major components to informative blogs (rather than newsy) blogs, the first is writing but the second is a sense of relationship with the blogger. This has to do with the style of writing, as you point out, and the comments too I think.

Looking forward to the rest of the series.

@ Don & Judy – Thanks for stopping by! I’m glad to have some food bloggers reading. Maybe you folks can help me out in the areas I’m not as familiar with through this process.

Anyone else who comments here can tell you I’m open to both criticism and suggestions!
