How to Personalize Blog
If you have created a blog, you will need to take steps to make sure it stands out from everyone else's blog, and a good way to do this is to personalize your blog. Whether your blog is serious and formal, whimsical or scholarly, adding a personal touch helps your readers feel more connected to you, and will encourage them to continue reading your posts. You don't have to spell out every embarrassing detail of your life to personalize your blog, but you should write about who you are, what you think and what you like to do.

Post information about events you experience, and activities you participate in with details that exemplify who you are. Anyone can write about doing a common task, but if you give your readers a sense of your attitude about what you did, you'll provide a personal touch that helps them better understand you.

Put up pictures and videos of yourself doing the activities that you write about in your blog posts. Not only will the images help further personalize your blog, they can save you from having to write descriptions of events and locations.

Add URLs in a "Links" section in your blog that point to other blogs and websites that you visit regularly and endorse. This helps personalize your blog because it gives readers an idea of the company you keep, so to speak, much as someone can get to know you better when she meets your friends and family, or looks at the books, CDs and DVDs on your shelves at home.
