I am relatively new to blogging and in the midst of finding the right voice, tone and really rethinking step 1 - what is my audience. What started out as a place for me to journal is now evolving into somethihg else. I find that I enjoy writing more than I had thought. One thing I enjoy about your posts is your rhythm and I was pleased to see that addressed above. I just came across this and appreciate it.

You bring up the point of linking style. It's still early in my blogging life, and I wasn't sure if it was good or bad to link to one's own commentary. For example, at a cocktail party, quoting one's own writing is so boorish. But I noticed that Techdirt (http://www.techdirt.com) references itself all the time, as a way to show a cointinuing conversation. I like that. Add that to the list of things that are social genius online and socially incompetent offline. Thanks, Stephanie. You bring up the point of linking style.
