I read quite a few blogs during my day. From highly commercial blogs such as Kotaky, Engadget, and Gizmodo, to personal blogs written by my friends, I cover a little bit of everything in a day.
Looking at just those blogs written by my friends, however, I've noticed something: in our little circle of personal blogs, mine is the least personal. While I began Critically Correct with a focus on blogging my personal life to the world, I've grown apart from that methodology in the last year. This certainly has to do with audience: I've seen visitor numbers increase when I post a special feature or two from time to time, while little is noticed when I post to rant, complain, or debrief the world on my daily, sluggish routine. Honestly, I have a ton of things to say about my personal life, but I suppose that I'm also becoming more "old fashioned" in many ways... that is, what's personal is mine and not yours, so you don't need to know about it. In other words, I keep what's mine to myself, and share only that which is worth reading or scrutinizing in a public setting. I wouldn't write anything on Critically Correct that I wouldn't verbally say in a room full of strangers.
I sometimes wonder if this is the right approach for Critically Correct. Afterall, my readership is not that large, and I could get away with detailing some of my personal life without feeling too terribly violated.
Still, for the time being Critically Correct will focus mainly on events, summaries, articles, and techno-geek babble that I run across in my life, with the occasional feature thrown in for good measure.
B3 out.
