What it Takes to be a Passionate Blogger

Do you have what it Takes to be a Passionate blogger?

Jimmy’s post woke me up… on his post he asked these questions… that made me think…

How passionate are you about writing for your blogs? Do you wait with anticipation for the time when you have to write your next post? Do you smile like an idiot when you are doing something else and you think of something to write in your blog?
Or do you merely go about it like every other mundane task in your life? Does it take you forever to find that breath of inspiration?

I love blogging, and yes, I always think of what I would post next but I also cherish the time while I’m posting an article. If were passionate about blogging inspirations are very easy to come by. Being Passionate is focusing all your energy on what you are doing and actually enjoying it at the same time.

One thing that I can tell you is this â€“ you have to be passionate about your writing in order to elicit that same feeling from your readers. Imagine this: if you feel like your blog writing is merely a chore that has to be done, the chances are that your readers will be able to feel that tone in your writing.

In my previous post I told you that you have to blog about something that you like. Otherwise, you come up with a post that is merely â€œokay.â€ but now I think that if we are passionate in blogging we can write good articles even though we are not “in” to that subject. We just need, yes you’ve guessed it, passion… Passion, a very useful tool!

The passion is in the writing process, too, not merely in writing about something you already like.

â€œit takes anyone to write a blogâ€¦ but it takes a lot of skill and â€œweirdnessâ€ to write the good onesâ€¦â€ although it may not be skill it usually just needs determination, passion and a good command of your writing skill to be able to blog good.

Blogging and Writing mesh well together after all they’re the same If you can write, you can blog too… but it doesn’t mean you have to be a writer to be blogger. You just need determination, the inspiration, the will to blog, and the passion.

Is Your Blog W3C Compliant?

Last night I checked my personal blog’s code hoping I can proudly display the W3C Validated Button. Since I use Blogger and do not really do anything to clean up the code (beyond adding Alt-tags to the images I embed) I wasn’t surprised at all to find that my blog contained lots of errors - [...]
