The Greatest But Most Obvious Blog Secret Of All


Okay, sit down.  You’re going to want to be sitting.  In fact, you should probably brace yourself, too.  I just finished reading this article and it’s made perfectly clear to me exactly what the headline says above–the greatest blog secret of all.  Strangely, in retrospect, it’s the most OBVIOUS secret of all too.  And you get to see it right here.

Man, aren’t YOU glad you read this blog?

All right, here we go.  The greatest (and most obvious) blog secret of all:

Blogging is supposed to be fun.

It’s not something we think about a lot in the frenzy of keywords and Google rank and Technorati and trackbacks and pingbacks…but we are the forerunners of an entirely new media.  From the biggest movie blog to the smallest blog about somebody’s cat, we’re here to disseminate information and deliver brilliant commentary and we’re here to do it on a daily basis.  But sometimes, we all get a little too caught up in the business of blogging to remember that we’re a whole new generation of media and journalism.

Newspapers are crashing and burning.  Kindle is the new bookstore.  And today’s blog is tomorrow’s Time.

So remember…have some fun with it.  Be snarky, be witty, be yourself.  Have some fun with this huge new opportunity.  Your readers will thank you too.
