What makes a good blog good?
There are so many blogs out there, some are really dynamite. The question is; What makes a good blog good? Is it agonizing over design, perfecting keyword placement, the color palette, pictures, or any of the other visual items bloggers ponder over? Or is it the content? Or the title?
Content is important, as is design, but they’re not the most important. If your knowledgeable about your subject matter and your passionate about it, the content comes naturally. If your content is good then the design, though important, matters less too.
I submit the most important element, the single variable that causes some blogs too really shine, is the person behind them. For a blogger, loving the subject matter you write about is crucial. Without the passion it becomes work, if a blogger has to work for content the reader can tell. Not that blogs aren’t work in the sense they take time because they do take time. Research, writing, and proofreading all go into good posts. But if you love it, it’s not work.
Here are some of my favorite blogs. The people behind them are genuine, passionate, and I love their content. Check them out for yourself and see if you can’t sense that they really love what they do.
