Do not get me wrong, some men have good blogs, but Women have nicer blogs that tend to make you feel what they are feeling when they put a post together, They decorate, make the feel of the post match the pics colors better, and this does have an effect on traffic. I am actualy a professional SEO and I use nothing but women in my business as writers and designers. They just seem to be able to put the look and feel togather. I have looked at everyones blogs that commented here on this post, and i am impressed to say the least. The initial post was very informative, and it invited great conversation in the comments. Looks like all of you are going to the top of your game. Thanks for the enjoyable post and learning experience. I think women make better bloggers.

This is one of the points I had made some time ago with respect to simply discussing the merits and benefits of blogging. Like any writing, or clothes for that matter, one is never sure when it will come back into style. Also, the longer you go, the more you have to choose from if (when) the blogging writer's block strikes. It's an often overlooked value in "to blog or not to blog" discussions! After all, at worst, it's a chronicle or diary. I've even seen those choosing to publish after so long! T I’m glad you discussed this issue.
