I was talking with Rich Schefren last night and he pointed me to a blog I immediately adored.
I will point you there in a minute. But first I have to get you ready for it.
1. It is possibly offensive to some readers
2. It is full of “color”
3. It is an example of building a blog around a character – and this guy is a real character
4. It has no flashiness – a killer example of a blog written by someone who has something to say, in an interesting way, which needs no flash and dash template or packaging. The content speaks for itself and the design gets the hell out of his way.
The blogger in question is Dean Hunt.
The blog is DeanHunt.com.
If you can bring this kind of character to your writing and overall blog presence, you will get attention and build a loyal following.
Most people can’t do this. So we have a fall back: information. But it still has to be delivered with some panache!
