Are hanwritten blogs worth it

[ronnie]

I think every one knows my answer.. But Simon brings up a good point and that is re-writing. I've done that quite often and to me it's much closer to handwritten. I know I've done it because, as we all know, after a while it's hard to come up with new writing, or your not feeling inspired, ect. Not to mention it can make for faster posting. Course many much to change it is a good question.

This question is also not one that can be answered with an easy yes or no, there are some variables. The big variable being how well the posts are SEO'ed. Also how SEO'ed the theme is, code v.s. content, if going after high traffic keywords or lower traffic long tails. Most blogs I've seen have poor SEO. I also think a big factor is, how often the blog is updated.

Just my thoughts.

I try to handwrite fairly entertaining posts on my blog (www.horndogpornblog.com). At least entertaining is the word most people use to describe them. I particularly like the story about baskin robbins, but I can't claim 100% credit due to a friend taking charge there.

I really consider the "re-write" handwritten or maybe assisted handwritten? lol. I know it might be a matter of semantics, but making an rss feed presentable, fixing it up, making it in your own style...that just = handwritten to me.

The only thing it does save is a little mental power coming up with the initial theme / focus and you don't have to select the content.
