Ian P. Hines on Blog Content →
I’ve shared my personal opinion already about this whole Tumblr Effect that is slowly taking over the blogosphere but Ian nails it on what I think is even more important than just having a blog.
There is nothing inherently wrong with short-form content, except that it cannot be the end-all be-all. Blogs, or tumblelogs, filled only with links, photos, reblogged items, and the like fail to grasp the true potential of blogging: to share who you are as a person with the wider world.
You don’t have to be controversial; you don’t have to be particularly interesting, or thought provoking; you don’t have to be anything at all. What you should do is endeavor to be yourself because your life, inherently, is worth sharing with others.
