Adding One's Personality Into A Blog Post

I just finished four days on a jury trial. Evidently I have a personality that lawyers like because this is the third time I have been selected.  Would the traits that make me a desirable juror translate well into the realm of the blogosphere? When does it make sense to add one’s personality into a blog post and when does it not make sense to do so?

 

I think extreme ideas that fall on opposite ends of the spectrum from the median, should be relegated only to blogs set up specifically for like-minded followers of those ideas. I don’t think that extremist ideas necessarily have a place on a blog set up to promote a for-profit business.

 

As far as the interjecting of one’s personality into blogs, I think it is important to do so otherwise the blog will become dry after a while and people will cease to follow newly added entries. I would propose though that restraint should be exercised in businesses, like mine, that focus on the scientific and technological. In blogs about everyday topics like food or clothing or places it is entirely appropriate to interject ones opinions and personality into the writing of each post.  Balance and variety will create readership.
