You're right. Personal style in blogging is HUGE, because it's the one thing you have that's uniquely yours and causes you to stand out from the crowd. @Chris - LOL, the spaghetti incident made me laugh. I think you have hit on the psychological trigger that attracts people to these headlines. Wonderful contribution to this discussion, thanks! :) @Frank – Glad you picked up on that. You’re right.

It's funny how people are drawn to negatives and bad news more than positive sometimes. Why is it that newspapers always say "Meatball Massacre - 10 Dead". Why can't they say "99% of people survive freak spaghetti accident"? :) “How not to” makes people want to check to make sure they are not goofing whereas “how to” can leave people thinking “I already know this”.

That, to me, is the big win. Once a person find what fit's their style writing becomes much simpler. and that's when i'd suspect you begin to start attracting true followers - they follow you because you bring 'you' to the table. Love how you have thought through the approach as well! As always ... thx for taking the time to put out good stuff. -- http://twitter.com/franswaa What I find interesting is that you have found that to be a sort of ‘Stylistic’ way of writing that fits your way of doing things.
