He &lt;i&gt;does&lt;/i&gt; practice what he preaches, i.e. has a unique and memorable voice.&lt;p&gt;My take is: good writing and unique voice is a necessary but not sufficient condition for a successful blog. Without these, you won&apos;t get much readership other than Google directs (maybe). But no amount of cool writing will get your  Advanced Algorithms blog read if it doesn&apos;t have useful and interesting informational nuggets.&lt;p&gt;The problem, as I see it, that a lot of people face trying to write a technical blog is how to divide up what they&apos;re explaining into digestible chunks (size dependent on audience, Terence Tao&apos;s blog chunk size will be different than your high school math blog&apos;s) and present them intermingled with good language. In effect, the language (unique voice, anecdotes, etc.) is the carrier and the chunks is the information and the audience dictates the channel capacity.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>How To Build A Blog Readership</title><url>http://danshipper.com/how-to-build-a-blog-readership#</url><text></text></story>
<instructions>Your goal is to analyze the following comment and estimate how highly it will be upvoted by the Hacker News community.</instructions><comment><author>kiba</author><text>Blogging isn&apos;t the only way to write and publish the content.&lt;p&gt;The way I do it is to write 500 words a day on some random subjects for no reason other than it&apos;s &quot;interesting&quot; on published it on a single page called Notes and Thought. Then I continuously work the various areas of that pages, adding new paragraph, fixing grammar mistakes, and so on. Eventually, one of the section in my page will grow into a essay. When an essay is spun off, I also work on the essay to make sure it&apos;s complete-sounding and all polished up. However, they are never actually finished or frozen in time, and they will be continuously updated for the rest of their lifespan. Notes and Thoughts also linked any spun off essay with the original section and an abstract describing the content of the new essay.&lt;p&gt;Blog posts are temporal in nature, and they never get updated continuously. So a hundred year from now, the blog post will say the same thing, still feel amateurish, and also horrifically outdated.&lt;p&gt;If you want to know what I am working on: &lt;a href=&quot;http://kibabase.com/articles/notes-and-thoughts&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://kibabase.com/articles/notes-and-thoughts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Blogging is more like a conversation that&apos;s very time specific. While mine is more like a book or an encyclopedia of my mind.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>How To Build A Blog Readership</title><url>http://danshipper.com/how-to-build-a-blog-readership#</url><text></text></story>
