In addition, blogs are meant to be a little bit more personal than a regular site. Therefore, you want to make your reader feel like they can connect with you. That, in my opinion is what will keep them coming back. Otherwise, they can just read a regular web site and get any info they're looking for there. In the case of a technical blog or one with medical terms it's nice if they use the term and then define it immediately after. That way, the reader will continue to learn and not feel like the content it's too far above their heads. I like to read blogs that make me feel as if the writer is having a conversation with me face to face (even though it's online). It's more engaging, and overall it's just better.
