I think it was Ben Franklin all those years ago that actively made it a point to include a phrase similar to “In my opinion” whenever he made a point. But doesn’t a personal blog imply straight up that it’s your opinion generally?
Great points though, I’ll be checking back.

I agree that at this stage in the game the conversation should be writer focused. I also noticed more direct traffic to my blog when I commented or tweeted versus when any posts were merely featured on Brazen.

PS– I liked this post. Your feelings about know-it-all-y young bloggers echo my own fears of being too didactic on my own blog. I’ve been blogging mostly about my own experience with personal finance…we’ll see how that works out!
