Finding the right balance between too few posts and too many can be difficult, also because the readership might vary widely n their desire. Maybe I should ask directly…

The part about a blog changing its focus is especially interesting to me… I guess it doesn’t matter so much with new blogs that are still “finding their identity”, so to speak.

But I do wonder what counts for a negative change in content or style, because there’s a difference between “Okay, I’ve decided to stop writing about WordPress and change this blog’s focus to Pokemon” and a blog that gradually and naturally shifts its focus… like, say, from talking about blogging in general to focusing almost exclusively on plugins or themes.

One of the things I’ve learned through blogging is that all of us improve. I’ve seen bloggers who blog about what they had for lunch and dinner and when that happens if the blog is new, I’d understand. In fact, I admit I used to blog about what I’ve eaten when I started blogging.

But when you’ve been blogging for 2 or 3 years already, and you’re still accounting to your bodily functions and other Dear Diary entries, I think that’s a little too much.

And I’ve been unsubscribing to such blogs a lot lately. I can’t help it. I’m improving, the general blogosphere is improving, but if you’re not, I’m out.

I think the fastest thing to send readers away is if they perceive that you’ve sold out. A blog is all about trust, if they think you’re lying to them just to make money, they’ll leave real fast.

PPA, I came across a new blog just this morning that fit that to a T. The posts were very heartfelt and brutally personal and, well… a little more raw emotion than I was comfortable with. The blogger had obviously spent considerable time, crafting well thought-provoking articles about his spiritual journey through everyday life, but it was at the same time overwhelming and distancing.

Definitely gives me cause to relfect upon a few of my posts and wonder if any of them have been maybe slightly too personal…

I also noticed that if most of the posts are purely emotional most readers ignore it. If the post is too personal and speaks only about the feelings of the blogger, the reader loses his/her interest on it. If the reader continues to read the blog, he might find himself caught in an emotion that doesn’t actually speak about himself.

Thanks for this wonderful post. It was a highly enjoyable read.

I am still new on the blogging scene and trying to build a readership so it helps to know what not to do. My blog revolves around fashion and style which may be too broad but keeping the majority of the posts related to Kuwait draws interest from Kuwaiti bloggers.

My current goal is how to build a community around the blog and I’m still trying to figure it out.

I love reading your blog as I always learn something new here :)
