"To love what you do and feel that it matters - how could anything be more fun?"- Katherine Graham

Stan Finley picks up on a post i made a few days ago on 'rules' of a blog - which brought forth some debate on the semantic blog in terms of form and content. The discussion threads at the comments for both my post and his are really interesting.

Stan, Avi, Andrew - thanks for picking up this thread - i think its an interesting area for discussion, as blogging reaches its tipping point .

As far as i'm concerned - there are and can be no 'rules'. Some guidelines /tips/pointers for new bloggers though might be useful. I did struggle initially with so many issues - both in terms of content and form :

- should i blog intuitively, just write what i feel at that moment, which means that my blog maynot have a special focus on any one specific area

- should i be bothered about how i can better connect with readers and engage them in richer conversations (form issues here like better readability etc and content issues in terms of 'give them what they want' vs blog as i feel) .

I've come to the conclusion that to hell with the rules - let me be me.
