I find myself drawn to blogs that are very open and honest in nature. Blogs that are detailed to ones life and their opinions. Why? Why am I attracted to these? Is it because I feel I have a limitation when I write my own? That for some reason I feel like I can't let go, that I can't get too personal on the internet yet I am an open book when confronted in person. What blocks me from this? Why do I have these walls? What do the mass readers want? Are they like me? Do they want the personal details of the bloggers life? I am not known for withholding my opinion. So why do I feel the need to do so in cyber-land? Is this a way for people to feel connected? There is always a slight morbid satisfaction when you get to read someone's diary, their personal thoughts. Is this why blogging is such a "huge hit"?
As a reader, what do you look for in a blog? What makes you return day after day? What do you want to read about? What is that you like/love about your favorite blog?

My most favorite blog to read (besides yours, duh) is the dreaded one you introduced me to that is so addicting that my husband can't understand. You know the one. So why do I love these blogs so much? I think it's the honesty. As if my friend is writing to me. Sometimes they are funny, sometimes sad. They are raw. Unscripted. Laid back. Human.
