Blog Writing 

"Imperfection is the difference between blogging and what I do in my day job.  In my day job, we create this perfect object.  It is polished to perfection.  It is error-free.  It is reviewed by professionals to be the best it can be.  Blogging is not that at all.  Blogging is a work in progress.  Every post could be better...Blogs are wildly imperfect, and therein lies their beauty, beacause they are wildly authentic."

Chris Anderson in Blogging Heroes
